Pregnancy Month Five

Physical Changes in Pregnancy

  • You may begin to feel your baby move, this is called quickening.
  • As your uterus reaches your navel or belly button, you will begin to show more.
  • You are going to the bathroom more often because your kidneys work harder in pregnancy.
  • You are still enjoying your pregnancy at this point with few symptoms that plague you.

Emotional Mom

  • You are anxious to learn about babies and birth.
  • As your partner begins to feel the baby move, it brings a whole new dimension to how he sees the pregnancy.
