Pregnancy Month Three

Physical Changes in Pregnancy

  • Your pregnancy will continue to have symptoms like morning sickness, fatigue, and a decrease in your desire for sex.
  • Your belly doesn't really show right now, but as you reach the end of this month your uterus will be slightly above your pelvis.
  • Your breasts may increase in size, they may also feel fuller and be more tender. You may notice that the aerola gets darker during this month.
  • Some symptoms of the first trimester leave you as you head towards the second trimester, like the fatigue and morning sickness.

Emotional Mom

  • Feeling anxious about the health of the baby is a common feeling at this point in pregnancy
  • Your partner may or may not also share concerns about the pregnancy.
