Congratulations! You are halfway through your pregnancy. You’re doing well!

What is happening to your baby:

• Your baby’s sleep patterns are similar to those of a newborn.
• A girl’s uterus is formed.
• Her vagina is developing.
• Scalp hair begins to grow.

What is happening to you:

• Your pregnancy may now be quite obvious as your uterus pushes your abdomen out at the belly button – brace yourself for lots of unwanted advice!
• Your pubic hair darkens – it will fade again after birth.
• The linea nigra (black line running down the centre of your abdomen) may darken.
• Your belly button may “pop out” as your uterus presses up and outward.

What to do:

• Take care of your stretching skin to prevent or reduce stretch marks. Apply a nourishing cream twice a day. Eat well and exercise regularly to maintain your skin’s elasticity.
