2nd Month Pregnancy Guide

You are now 2 months pregnant. The baby has grown little more and soon you will start getting hints of the same. If you are expecting that you will get kicks at this stage then wait; there is still time. Here are some things for your second month pregnancy.

1.   Gentle exercise

Now your baby is growing and slowly you too will grow with your baby. In order to ensure that you have a healthy body all throughout the pregnancy it is advisable to do some gentle exercises. You can start with some basic pelvic floor exercise neck rotation, slow dancing, swimming and such. It is good to keep your blood circulated. Before doing any exercise we advice you to talk to your midwife in order to avoid any complications.

2.   Common Symptoms

In the second month of pregnancy you will have some common symptoms like morning sickness, soreness or prickly breasts and some of the others. Do not worry these are very normal. However, if these symptoms are very high then you can inform your mid wife and she will give you medications accordingly. Also, if you are facing such issues you can inform the people in your office so your work schedule can be changed accordingly. Yes, it is the right time to announce your pregnancy.

3.   Regular supplements and Tests

You should not forget your regular supplements and yes, this month will also have some important urine tests and ultrasound tests as well. Based on your condition your midwife can decide to have such tests in the next month as well; so do not panic if they are not scheduled yet.

4.   Urge to eat more

All of a sudden you will feel that you are one big eater and do not be embarrassed by that. Be happy and go ahead and fill your stomach; your baby needs nutrients. However, always ensure that you eat on healthy foods; keep fruits and juices handy so you can avoid munching unhealthy snacks.

5.   Stretch Marks

Some of the moms-to-be start getting stretch marks as early as 2^nd month and very few are lucky not to have them till the 9^th month (I am one of them). In order to get minimum stretch marks you can start applying bio oil, good moisturizer and eat lots of citrus food and of course keep yourself hydrated.

In order to ensure that you have a smooth and happy pregnancy you can start looking for a baby club and yes to start with the excitement you can start finding good baby names as well. Enjoy motherhood!
