Week 16: DVTs, Compression Socks and Travelling While Pregnant

Welcome to Hello Bump, a podcast about what you’re not expecting when you’re expecting. In this episode, hosts Jana Pittman and Grace Rouvray discover your baby is around the size of a chocolate bar or a small remote control! At week 16, your baby’s facial expressions are starting to develop and the umbilical cord is mostly formed by this stage. Some pregnant people might feel a change in their libido this week and start to feel their baby moving. Plus, Jana explains how long you can safely fly, and why you might have burst blood vessels.
