Weekly wisdom: Hearing the heart beat is the most amazing sound
Milestones: Second trimester, starting to feel the baby move
What's happening with the baby: This week eyebrows and hair patterns are forming as well as Lanugo (a fine hair that forms in various different areas across the skin). Baby's tiny heart is already able to pump 25 quarts of blood per day and this will increase more than ten times by the time of birth.
What's happening with you: Second trimester is typically an easier time — the first trimester worries are waning and morning sickness is finally letting up. My uterus is expanding and I have even start showing! One side effect of your uterine expansion could be achy or sharp pregnancy cramps on one or both sides of your abdomen — known as "round ligament pain".
