The belly will become noticeably rounder, and already in the middle of the 2nd trimester of pregnancy, your position will become noticeable to everyone around you. Nausea, weakness and dizziness characteristic of the first trimester stop. We hope you feel full of strength and energy.
At this stage, the gynecologist will be able to palpate the uterus through the anterior abdominal wall. If at the beginning of the trimester its bottom is located 13 cm from the pubic joint, then by the end it rises by an average of 26 cm. Due to the pressure it exerts on neighboring organs, you may feel heaviness in the abdomen, heartburn, and shortness of breath.
Constipation during this period of pregnancy occurs due to eating disorders. Another factor is progesterone, which relaxes smooth muscles. Therefore, do not forget about fiber-rich foods and drinking regime.
