End of Second Trimester


You have about to complete your second trimester of your lovely journey. By this time you are already feeling the kicks of your little one and hence it is time you start tracking them. From now on your baby would grow faster now and so would your weight; do not panic. Here we provide you with a small guide for pregnancy symptoms you might notice in this month.


    1.   Prenatal Classes

This is the time to start looking for your prenatal class in your neighbourhood. You can take these sessions the beginning of third semester. If possible try to involve your partner in these sessions; this would surely make you feel better and strengthen your bond. After consulting your gynac or mid-wife you can start with your pregnancy yoga as well.

2.   Vaginal secretions

There is a possibility that you might notice some yellow discharge from the vagina. This is known as yeast infection. Do not panic. Mild secretion is common during this time of pregnancy; however, if the same is high do consult your doctor for the same.

3.   Carpel tunnel syndrome

In the sixth month you might notice that your fingers go numb, prickly and tingly; it is known as carpel tunnel syndrome. From this time onwards there is high probability of swollen hands and legs. This is due to lack of blood circulation in the body and accumulation of excessive fluid in your body which is not going out. In order to avoid such situations you need to drink plenty of water. Drinking water will help you to flush out the unnecessary fluid thus cleaning your body. Also, ensure you do not sit at one place for a long period of time; regular movements are necessary.

4.   Tiredness

This is the time where you need to slow down. Now the baby is growing at a faster pace and hence you might also feel more tired from now onwards. Avoid over exerting yourself and take maximum rest as you need to save energy for labour and post pregnancy period.

5.   Pamper yourself

Pregnancy demands lot of pampering as well. This is the time to tell your partner to give you a soothing massage on your back and feet. A good pregnancy massage would help you to rejuvenate your mind, body and soul.  

We wish you happy and healthy pregnancy.
