It gets more and more exciting as the weeks pass. Its been 18 weeks, and I'm sure you're so excited to see your baby. Anyway, have you talked to your ob/gyne or to your midwife about the appropriate exercise routines that you can do? I do hope you'll ask them for some advice once you schedule a visit. 🙂
