Sixteenth week of pregnancy for the expectant mother.

At this stage, the woman feels a significant improvement in well-being. Gradual weight gain begins, appetite normalizes. The norm at the moment is a set of 2.5-3 kg.

At the moment, there is an active growth of the unborn baby, and a significant accumulation of amniotic fluid. Both of these factors affect the growth of the abdomen, its increasing volumes do not yet cause discomfort. However, it is time to make changes in your habits, for example, change the position of the body during sleep. Sleeping on your back is just as unindicated as sleeping on your stomach. When sleeping on the back, the uterus can put pressure on large veins, which will cause a violation of the outflow of blood, provoke the occurrence of swelling, convulsions and varicose veins. The most comfortable position for sleeping is the position on the side, in which both the unborn child and the mother will feel as comfortable as possible.
