Your baby may react to a loud noise with a jump or kick, and you might notice occasional hiccups. Your baby is urinating into the amniotic fluid, which provides cushioning and helps maintain a stable temperature.
25 weeks pregnant is how many months?
Week 25 falls in the sixth month of pregnancy. Weeks and months don’t divide evenly, and your antenatal care counts in weeks — so Zohra keeps weeks, and prints the month for the relatives who ask.
That puts you in the second trimester (weeks 14–27).
What might you be noticing?
A lively inner world. a sound may be followed by a movement, and hiccups may feel rhythmic.
Heartburn and indigestion. digestion may feel slower or less comfortable.
Sleep and cramps. sleeping difficulties and leg cramps are listed among common symptoms.

Try smaller pauses between the day’s larger tasks. Keep a snack, water, and your question list within reach; none of them need to become a project.
