HOW YOUR BABY'S GROWING
Your baby’s ears are beginning to develop.
the baby is getting used to the sound of your voice and the beat of your heart.
Your baby is covered in fine hair called ‘lanugo’.
This will help to keep her warm and it will usually disappear sometime before she is born.
HOW YOUR BODY'S CHANGING
You may have a stuffy nose or suffer from nosebleeds.
The increased blood supply in your body can put more pressure on the blood vessels in your nose, causing them to rupture.
Your gums may bleed a little too.
This is due to those hormones again! Use a soft toothbrush, clean gently, and visit your dentist for a check up,
which is free in pregnancy with your maternity exemption card.
HOW YOU MIGHT BE FEELING
You'll feel relieved that you have got this far,you may be worried about the next stages and the choices you have to make.
take some time out to talk about your feelings with someone close to you.
Your midwife will be able to advise you on any pregnancy-related concern you might have.
HOW TO HAVE A HEALTHY PREGNANCY
Try to stay active, make sure you exercise safely.
You may have felt too tired for much exercise early on in your pregnancy,
but if you've a bit more energy, now is a good time to join a pregnancy exercise class。
talk to your midwife about groups near you.
THINGS TO DO
You may have your second antenatal appointment around now.
These may be monthly to six-weekly from now on. You'll be offered a blood test now
