Second Trimester

This is the easiest part of pregnancy and the best period which you will really enjoy and you should enjoy because chances of miscarriage considerably drops , you are free from the yucky nausea feel and your uterus is not big enough to give you discomfort. So enjoy girls! But you may have to start shopping for maternity clothes. Your clothes may not fit you. Happy shopping!!

By the end of the second trimester you'll begin to feel your fetus move. Although your fetus has been moving for several weeks but the movements have not been strong enough for you to notice and also at first the fetal movements can be so gentle that you may not be sure what you are feeling.

Close your eyes and relax after every meal and you will be able to feel your baby move. Enjoy it.

Fetus will be 12 inches long at the end of the second trimester. Continue mild exercises such as walking, . Drink plenty of fluids specially during summers. Have lots of juicy fruits and do not have already cut fruits.

You may notice changes in your skin. You may develop brownish markings on your face or you may look flushed as if you are blushing. Some may get a dark line down the middle of their abdomen from navel to pubic hair. You may also notice stretch marks. Do not worry these marks will go away or fade after the baby is born as these changes are usually caused by increasing hormone levels. And do not forget to wear sunscreen and hats while outdoors in the Sun.
