Tight clothing may no longer be comfortable. <\/li><li><strong>Slight Weight Gain<\/strong><br\/>It is normal to start noticing progressive weight gain, generally between 2 and 4 kg at this stage.<\/li><li><strong>Possible Baby Movements<\/strong><br\/>Some women begin to feel small bubbles or flutters in the belly, which could be the baby moving. If you don&#8217;t feel them yet, there is no need to worry, as it may take a few more weeks. <\/li><li><strong>Nasal Congestion<\/strong><br\/>Increased blood flow and hormonal changes can cause inflammation in the nasal mucous membranes, causing a feeling of a stuffy or runny nose.<\/li><li><strong>Lower Abdominal Aches or Tugging<\/strong><br\/>As the uterus grows, the ligaments supporting it stretch, which can generate minor discomfort or cramps.<\/li><li><strong>Skin Changes<\/strong><br\/>Some women experience a &#8220;pregnancy glow&#8221; due to increased blood flow. Dark spots on the skin (melasma) may also appear due to increased melanin. <\/li><li><strong>Constipation or Slow Digestion<\/strong><br\/>Progesterone continues to relax the muscles of the digestive system, which can slow intestinal transit and cause constipation.<\/li><li><strong>Breast Sensitivity<\/strong><br\/>Although discomfort may be less than in the first trimester, the breasts continue to grow and prepare for breastfeeding.<\/li><li><strong>Increased Vaginal Discharge<\/strong><br\/>More abundant and clear vaginal discharge is common. As long as it does not have a bad odor or an unusual color, it is normal. <\/li><\/ul><h4><br><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Baby\u2019s size<\/span><br><br><\/strong><\/h4><ul><li>The baby measures approximately 11 to 12 cm and weighs around 100 grams, similar to the size of an avocado. Their nervous system continues to mature, and their body is now more proportionate, with the head being less large compared to the rest of the body. <\/li><li>More defined movements: Although they may still be subtle, the baby is more active and can move arms and legs with greater coordination.<\/li><li>Facial development: Their facial expression is more visible; they can frown and make movements with their mouth.<\/li><li>Inner ear formation: Although they cannot yet hear clearly, the ear bones are developing and they will soon be able to recognize sounds.<\/li><li>Skeletal and muscular system: Their bones are strengthening and their skin remains thin and translucent.<\/li><li>Digestive system development: The baby begins to practice swallowing and the intestine continues to mature to process nutrients.<\/li><\/ul><h4><br><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><strong>What Should You Do?<\/strong><\/span><\/h4><p><br><strong>Maintain a Balanced Diet<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Ensure the consumption of proteins, iron, calcium, and essential fatty acids.<\/li><li>Increase fiber and water intake to avoid constipation.<\/li><li>Limit the consumption of processed foods, sugars, and saturated fats.<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>Continue with Prenatal Care<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Attend medical consultations to monitor the baby&#8217;s development.<\/li><li>The second-trimester ultrasound may be performed in the coming weeks, where anomalies can be detected and, in some cases, the baby&#8217;s sex can be determined.<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>Stay Active with Moderate Exercise<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Walking, swimming, prenatal yoga, or low-impact exercises are recommended to improve circulation and reduce discomforts such as back pain.<\/li><li>Avoid high-impact activities or those with a risk of falling.<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>Stay Well Hydrated<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Drink enough water to prevent dehydration and improve digestion.<\/li><li>Avoid excessive consumption of caffeinated beverages.<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>Care for Your Skin<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Use sunscreen to prevent skin spots (melasma).<\/li><li>Moisturize the abdomen, breasts, and hips with creams or oils to reduce the risk of stretch marks.<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>Improve Posture and Care for Your Back<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Avoid standing or sitting for long periods without moving.<\/li><li>Use comfortable shoes and avoid high heels.<\/li><li>Sleep on your side (preferably the left side) to improve circulation.<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>Manage Stress and Emotions<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Practice relaxation techniques such as meditation, deep breathing, or gentle massages.<\/li><li>Talk with your partner or family about the changes and expectations of pregnancy.<\/li><li><strong>Start or Continue with Oral Care<br\/><\/strong>Pregnancy can increase the risk of gingivitis, so it is important to brush your teeth well and floss.<\/li><li><strong>Learn About Available Medical Tests<br\/><\/strong>At this stage, some doctors may suggest tests such as the quad screen, which evaluates the risk of certain genetic anomalies.<\/li><li><strong>Plan for the Coming Months<br\/><\/strong>If you haven&#8217;t already, you can start thinking about baby purchases, room decoration, or birth preparation.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section
