During this month, you may gain between 1 and 3 kg.Your skin stretches to accommodate this growth, and you may feel itchy all over, but a moisturizing cream can help ease your discomfort.
Your increasing size may also cause sleep disturbances.Try using several pillows or a large ‘body pillow’ to prop up your belly, back and legs (but don’t lie flat on your back).
As your pregnancy progresses, a whitish discharge from your vagina may become more noticeable.This discharge often becomes heavier in later months and should not be cause for concern unless it is bloody, watery, foul-smelling or painful.
YOUR BABY
