Your Changing Body
-
Your uterus measures about 5 inches above the belly button now.
-
The increasing size of your uterus can contribute to heartburn and indigestion, as well as a sense of breathlessness during pregnancy.
-
You can expect to gain approximately 1 pound per week.
-
The total volume of blood circulating in your body is about 40 to 50 percent higher than it was before you became pregnant.
-
You may be having trouble sleeping... "finding a comfortable position". A pregnancy pillow is one of the best investments you could make! It will help support your pregnant belly, and give you overall support.
