What is happening to you:

  • You will probably gain weight this week as the baby is going through a growth spurt.
  • Your body may secrete more fluid, such as sweat, nasal congestion and vaginal discharge as your blood volume increases.

What to do:

  • Exercise regularly – aqua-aerobics or swimming are great exercises. Visit our Pregnancy Exercises section for an effective exercise programme.
