Conclusion

In this video, Dr. Heal takes you through what’s happening during Week 23 of pregnancy. Your baby’s lungs prepare for the outside world and begin producing surfactant to aid their breathing. You’ll feel more kicks as your little one grows and develops. As your body adjusts, swelling, backaches, and Braxton Hicks contractions might occur. Dr. Heal provides helpful tips on staying comfortable and easing these symptoms. Watch for important advice on hydration, rest, and maintaining overall well-being during this exciting time.
