Weekly wisdom: Don't google anything it will only get you more concerned
Milestones: Second trimester
What's happening with the baby: Babies body fat is beginning to form and will continue to accumlate through the end of the pregnancy. By the time baby is born 2/3 of his or her weight will be made up of babys body fat (yay chubby legs).
Loud noises such as dogs barking, doorbells ringing will actually startle the baby but if its a common disturbance (cough, cough, Kal'li barking cough, cough) the baby will become so accustomed to it that they may sleep through it after he or she is born.
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".
Happy 17weeks!
