Welcome to Hello Bump, a podcast about what you’re not expecting when you’re expecting.

In this episode, hosts Jana Pittman and Grace Rouvray reveal your baby is now the size of an eggplant, or a deflated AFL football.

At week 22, your baby's lungs are developing those crucial alveoli (air sacs), while their brain is forming the cerebral cortex for complex thoughts and actions. Grace has a new found breathlessness when climbing stairs or speaking in long sentences while Jana explains why constipation might be at its peak right now, along with a unique natural solution to your cause!
