In the second month you start to feel pregnant. Your jeans are starting to feel a little more sung and in the mornings you spend way more time in the bathroom, and not for the sake of brushing your teeth. Your baby grows from being a blastocyst to an embryo and his heart starts to beat. So, what changes are taking place?
Complications As in any case in life, expect the unexpected. There are
complications may arise and you should be aware of the facts to
best handle any situation.
Some of the complications that can occur include: tilted uterus, Ectopic pregnancy, irregular uterus size, and lactose intolerance. Getting Bigger In the second month your growing abdomen and body are almost only visible to you. This point can be overwhelming for a lot of women. You realize that you are going to get bigger and may be afraid that this change will stay after birth. Dieting is not recommended during pregnancy. Weight gain is normal, natural and essential. The only thing to bear in mind is how you are gaining weight (are you eating chocolates all day?) and if you lead an active lifestyle. Gentle exercise can assure that the weight gain is proper. Related readings: Weight Gain Recommendations In a lot of cases, things that you were accustomed to eat without regard can have affect on your weight gain and your baby's health. Start reading labels on packaged food, ask the waiter what is in the salad and avoid street food.

For most women, the second month is time in which they fully realize the significance of the pregnancy. If in the first month you were overwhelmed or happy, this month is a month of accepting the new situation and looking ahead.

I just found out my husband and I are expecting our first child. I'm overwhelmed with emotions from being excited and happy to nervous and scared. So far, I've been a little nauseated but nothing too bad. Other than that, I haven't really had any other symptoms.

I've never been so scared and so happy at the same time. I'm 21 yrs old and about to have my first baby (a girl). My dad side of the family knows but my mom and her side doesn't know yet (i'm showing but i don't really ever see them). I'm terrified to tell my mother thinking she might disown me (seriously she might). Thank goodness I have my dad and stepmom and grandma supporting me 100%. I'm just so ready for my little angel to get here, not just to hold her, but to relieve me of this fatigue and morning sickness...lucky me I'll have morning sickness until she is born.

One of the most common and overwhelming symptoms experienced in the second and third month are fatiguw. You may find yourself craving a nap in the middle of the day. Your body is working in full swing to accommodate a new life. Pregnancy hormones go into full effect, making you feel like you are on
a roller coaster ride.
Common symptoms include: nausea, fatigue, breast changes,
