Pregnancy Month Seven

Physical Changes in Pregnancy

  • The symptoms of the last trimester may begin to set in. This include back ache, inability to sleep and other not so fun symptoms of late pregnancy.
  • Your belly is growing rapidly! It changes shape and you may even see your baby kick through your abdomen.
  • As your body prepares for birth you will notice that your joints feel more loose, this is from the release of relaxin. It makes you waddle.
