Hey there, mama-to-be! If you’re 23 weeks along, congrats! Your little one is now about the size of a carrot, measuring around 11 inches and weighing about 1.2 pounds (or 27.9 cm and 0.54 kg). It’s such an exciting time as you’re just three months away from meeting your bundle of joy!
This week marks the start of a significant growth phase for your baby, who may even double in size in the upcoming month. You might also notice some changes in yourself, like that classic “pregnancy brain” feeling. A handy tip? Use sticky notes for reminders around the house—it really helps!
Your Baby at Week 23

- Movements: Those tiny arms and legs are getting stronger, and you might feel them poking through your belly.
- The Placenta: This amazing organ is working hard to deliver oxygen and nutrients to your baby while removing waste. It’s truly a lifeline!
