Week 21: Wait, How Exactly Am I Supposed To Push?

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 reveal your baby is now the size of a rockmelon or a bottle of Sriracha sauce. At week 21, if you're having a girl, her tiny uterus is fully formed, while boy babies still have their testes tucked up high. That growing baby is pushing on your stomach, explaining all that heartburn and unexpected burping. Also Jana explains why seeing a pelvic floor physio now is helpful while Grace has some questions about pushing.THE END BITS: Discover more Mamamia podcasts here.
