What is happening to you:

  • If this is not your first pregnancy, you may start to feel your baby’s movements (fluttering movements called “quickening”).
  • You may suffer from nosebleeds which are normal in pregnancy because oestrogen levels swell nasal membranes.

What to do:

  • Ask your gynaecologist whether an amniocentesis is necessary.
