Your fourth and fifth months will be where a lot of changes will be visible. The moms who had been going through nausea for these months will find a decrease in the discomfort and by the fifth month the nausea will disappear completely in 90% women.
Also I forgot to mention that folic acid tablets will be discontinued by the end of the fourth month and you will begin your regular dosage of calcium and iron tabs. Like I've mentioned before please do not miss out on your tabs. They are very important. Also I've mentioned In my blogs before that forgetfulness is gonna be a part of pregnancy so.. if you tend to forget your tabs or other important chores you can use post it paper and write on it and stick it on your dresser or your refrigerator so that you can remember.
During your fifth month a visible increase in your stomach curvature will be there. This is because of the increase in the size of your uterus which now has a bigger and a well developed foetus. The size of the placenta will also be bigger and the amniotic fluid will have a reasonable amount of quantity in ratio to the size of your foetus. Around the mid to the end of your fifth month you will have your next ultra sound. Do not miss or delay this ultra sound. As this is the most important ultra sound in your maternity period. In this ultra sound there will be a detailed study of your baby .. it's vitals, it's growth, it's approximate weight, amount of amniotic fluid, check on any physical or metabolic abnormalities... so make sure you too get a detailed explanation from your gynac about your baby's stats. In India we tend not to study or learn about our medical needs and just trust blindly. There is no shyness or shamefulness in asking your doc about the life your incubating.. its your baby after all!!!!
Now on a more lighter front.. exercises can start in the right manner from this month. Pregnancy yoga will take a different level with the new trimester setting in. Also the new age moms are very used to wearing jeans as they are comfortable.. but with your size changes in order regular denims and jeans should be avoided ..actually stopped. The reality being that you will start feeling uncomfortable and suffocating in them. So buy maternity wear where you'll find the right type of jeans for your curvature to fit in. And don't try to fit or rather adjust yourself in oversized clothes.. your pregnant so there is no shame in flaunting that natural incubator your holding!!! So flaunt that new curvature... coz this the only time you'll be called 'ROUND AND BEAUTIFUL'.. !!
More to come in my next blog.
