24th week typical: Usually around the 24th week! I can see that you are already concerned about this, so no better time to really focus on healthy nutrition for you and your baby. No sweets, soda, sweet drinks, candy, and junk food. Get a couple of new cookbooks on healthy pregnancy diet and experiment! Your taste buds may surprise you. Get your heart rate up ( less than 140) every day for 30 minutes to an hour.
