Your abdomen begins to grow.  Some women may feel the baby move as early as this week.

Your Baby

This week you may start to feel the baby’s movement.  Some women describe this feeling as tiny bubbles in the lower abdomen.  Don’t worry if you don’t feel any movement yet.  Some women feel their baby’s movement for the first time only in the middle of the second trimester.  If you could take a look inside, you can see your baby making facial expressions!

This week your baby will grow to about 4 inches long.

Changes in your Body

As your abdomen begins to grow, you may find the need to wear looser clothing.  Don’t force yourself into uncomfortable clothing.  Make sure the abdominal area is covered by clothing that is loose enough to allow you to bend over and sit with comfort.
