What is happening to you:

• The uterus is just below your bellybutton.
• Your gums become more spongy due to increased pregnancy hormones.
• You may be feeling your baby move (“quickening”).

What to do:

• Ask friends and relatives for second-hand maternity wear. There is no use spending a lot of money on clothes you can only wear for a couple of weeks.
• Visit your dentist for a check-up.
