If you are first time pregnant, stretch marks are a great concern to you. These skin discolorations appear as your uterine muscles contract. Vitamin-E based creams can be massaged at areas around abdomen, breasts, buttocks. Signs of preeclampsia can be felt in this phase. Pre-eclampsia is a situation that a few expectant mothers might encounter. Medically, it is state of significant swelling all over the face and hands, weight gain and continual headaches. Pre-eclampsia can prevent the placenta from receiving enough blood, thus depriving your baby of essential nutrients and lower oxygen levels. Any expecting mother experiencing such symptoms should consult her doctor.

Your Baby:

Your baby does regular ‘workout’ inside your womb. He or she turns from side to side and head over heels. With the fully developed inner ear your baby may have sense of whether he or she is upside-down or right side up in the womb.
