Pregnancy Week 24 is a significant milestone as your baby continues to grow stronger every day. Your baby is now the size of an ear of corn, with more noticeable movements, forming sleep patterns, and steady development happening inside the womb.

In this episode of Pregnancy Week by Week, we explore everything happening at 24 weeks pregnant: baby growth, common second trimester symptoms, and how to support your body through nutrition, sleep, and gentle movement.

What we cover in this episode:

• Baby size, position and movement patterns at 24 weeks pregnant
• Common second trimester symptoms and what is normal
• Supporting your body through nutrition, sleep and gentle movement
• Hypnobirthing techniques to reduce fear and calm the nervous system
• Managing stress, anxiety and pregnancy rage
• Breathing and grounding techniques for emotional regulation

This week you may be experiencing:

• Stronger and more noticeable baby movements
• Sleep disruption and restlessness
• Stress, impatience or pregnancy rage
• Back pain and physical discomfort
• Anxiety about birth and what is ahead
• Heartburn and increased appetite

We also introduce simple ways to begin preparing your mind for birth, including hypnobirthing techniques that focus on calming the nervous system and reducing fear around delivery.

You may also experience moments of stress, impatience, anxiety, or even pregnancy rage during this stage. These feelings are completely normal at 24 weeks pregnant. Learning how to regulate your nervous system during pregnancy can support your emotional well-being and may help reduce the risk of postpartum depression after birth.
