Congratulations on your pregnancy! By the fourth month of pregnancy, also known as the second trimester, your baby is growing and developing rapidly. Here are some key things you can expect:
Fetal development: By this stage, your baby is about 5.5 inches long and weighs around 4-5 ounces. The baby's organs are continuing to develop, and they may even start to hear your voice or other sounds from outside the womb.
Physical changes: You may start to show more visibly as your uterus continues to expand. Many women also report feeling less nauseous and fatigued during this trimester, but may experience other symptoms such as heartburn or constipation.
Prenatal care: It's important to continue attending regular prenatal check-ups with your healthcare provider. They may perform an ultrasound to check on your baby's growth and development.
Pregnancy health: You should continue to eat a healthy and balanced diet, stay hydrated, and engage in regular exercise as recommended by your healthcare provider. It's also important to avoid smoking, alcohol, and certain medications that could harm your baby.
Planning for the future: This is a good time to start planning for your baby's arrival, such as registering for a childbirth education class or making arrangements for maternity leave from work.
Remember to talk to your healthcare provider if you have any concerns or questions during your pregnancy.
