Your Body at Week 24

Experiencing abdominal pains in pregnancy are always worrying. Although they are not always a cause for worry that your baby is at risk. Extra strain on your ligaments and the enlarging of the uterus can cause twinges and aches in the lower abdomen. Pains like these are quite normal around this week of pregnancy.

If however, the pains are not going away, i suggest calling your GP or midwife to book an appointment to make sure everything is A-OK in there and to put your mind at ease.

Your Baby At Week 24

Did you know, if your baby was born now despite the lungs still developing, that they may be able to survive outside of the womb! With the help of neonatal medical expertise and a ventilator to assist them with breathing, they would stand a remarkable chance of surviving. In the UK the legal definition of fetal viability is set at 24 weeks.

Ingredients

3 medium large bananas, peeled

100g full fat plain yoghurt

1 tbsp vanilla extract

100g dark chocolate

2 tbsp coconut oil

Cooking Instructions

Place the bananas, yoghurt and vanilla extract into a food processor and blend until smooth. Pour the mixture into eight mini ice-cream silicon moulds. Insert a lolly stick into each one and place in the freezer for 3 hours or until solid.
Once they are frozen, place the chocolate and coconut oil in a small heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water. Stir over a low heat until melted. Leave until it is cool to touch.
Cook and stir the bacon over a medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon from the pan and set aside.
Line a tray with baking paper and take the banana lollies from the freezer.
Dip one lolly at a time into the melted chocolate coating all over. Lift out to sprinkle with a topping of your choice. Repeat with the remaining lollies. You can eat straight away or return to the freezer until you’re ready to serve.
