What to Expect at Gestational Week 23

Welcome to Week 23 of your pregnancy. Your baby is developing rapidly, and your body is going through trimester-specific adjustments to support fetal growth. Knowing what changes occur during this week helps you prepare for what lies ahead.

Baby Development Milestones

Your baby is currently in the Second Trimester of growth. At week 23, the fetus is roughly the size of a Grapefruit, measuring 28.9 cm in length and weighing 500 g.

  • Development Focus: Your baby's cellular structures are refining. Essential milestones are happening in organ systems and limb coordination.
  • Growth Metrics: The fetus shows rapid changes in length and weight, moving closer to birth readiness day-by-day.

Common Maternal Symptoms in Week 23

During this stage, your body is adapting to hormonal releases. Common symptoms include:

Braxton Hicks contractions, stretch marks, leg cramps, swelling of feet, or sleep difficulties.

We recommend tracking these daily in our companion app to generate clinical logs for your doctor.
