Second Trimester
Infants are around 3 1/2 inches long and weigh approximately 1 1/2 ounces at the start of the second trimester. The heart now pumps 25 quarts of blood every day, and tiny, unique fingerprints are in place. Your baby’s skeleton begins to stiffen from stretchy cartilage to bone as the week’s pass, and he or she gains the capacity to hear. If you haven’t already, you’re likely to experience kicks and flutters.
Miscarriage becomes far less probable after the first trimester. Furthermore, for many expectant mothers, early pregnancy symptoms such as morning sickness and exhaustion have subsided. If you’re feeling more energised and haven’t been exercising recently, now is an excellent time to begin a regular pregnant fitness programme.
