The 2nd trimester

During the second trimester of pregnancy — from months four to six — you might feel better than you did at first. Now's the time to enjoy your pregnancy!

At this point your baby might begin to seem more real. Second trimester signs and symptoms might include larger breasts, a growing belly and skin changes.

For your baby, the second trimester marks the ability to move, hear and swallow. You might feel slight fluttering. Also, your baby's sex will become apparent.

By week 20, you'll be halfway into your pregnancy. Regular visits to your health care provider remain important. Tell your health care provider what's on your mind, even if it seems silly or unimportant.
