Baby at week 25

At 25 weeks from conception (27w gestational): Nostrils open. Capillaries form under skin — skin turns pink. Fetus can grasp with hands.

Mother's body — what changes

25 weeks post-conception, your body is: Sciatica possible as uterus presses on nerves. Hemorrhoids may develop. Constipation persists.

Nutrition & supplements

Add ~340 kcal/day above pre-pregnancy baseline. Prioritise iron (27 mg/day), calcium (1000 mg), omega-3 DHA (200–300 mg) and 71 g protein. Continue prenatal vitamin. Week 25 from conception (27 weeks gestational) needs targeted micronutrients — the developmental window differs from LMP-based advice.

Safe exercise

Continue 150 min/week. Avoid supine (flat-on-back) exercises after week 20 — they compress the vena cava. Swimming and prenatal Pilates are ideal now. At 25 weeks from conception, low-impact activity supports placental blood flow without stressing the fresh implantation.
