Physical Changes in Pregnancy

  • Your baby's movements become easier for you to feel. You may feel your baby move more frequently or with more regularity.
  • If heartburn plagues you, try smaller, more frequent meals and avoid offending foods.
  • Are you having practice contractions, known as Braxton Hicks contractions?
  • Many women tell you to really enjoy this month before the fatigue and symptoms of the third trimester slip in...
  • Do you know the symptoms of premature labor?

Emotional Mom

  • You are probably thoroughly enjoying your pregnancy at this point.
  • Dreaming strange dreams is fairly common in pregnancy. Don't put too much stock in these night time images.
