Pregnancy Diary – Third Month

$

During the third month of your pregnancy, you’ll start to “show”. Of course, the amount of visual change will depend on your body type and shape, and on how many children you’ve already had. You’ll probably notice that your waist is starting to get a little larger, even if you don’t have a “baby bump”, yet. The progesterone in your system is causing your muscles to get softer, and your digestion is slowing down, too. This may make you feel bloated. You also may experience indigestion and heartburn, because of the relaxation of the muscles of your digestive tract ant the extra hormones.

Other changes that may happen include the linea nigra. It is a dark line that appears, stretching from the pubic area to your belly button. You may also develop the “pregnancy mask”, which is a darkening of areas on your face. During this third month of pregnancy, you may still struggle with fatigue and dizziness. You may also feel warmer than you usually do, and get headaches, and you may be thirstier, too. This is natural, considering that your body is developing more blood, but make sure your blood sugar is steady by telling the doctor if you feel thirstier than usual. All of these changes are normal for the third month.

This month will bring visible changes to your baby. All of its major organs were formed last month, and now it starts growing really fast. The growth of the head will slow down in relation to the rest of the body. Also, the baby’s genitals will start developing externally, although you still won’t be able to tell the gender. The baby’s bladder will start working, too, passing urine into the amniotic fluid surrounding it.

During this third month, the baby will begin to suck and swallow. It is also starting to look like a human, but is only about as big as your finger.

Dental hygiene is especially important during this time, because of the extra hormones circulating through your body. Your gums may start to swell, which is perfectly normal, but requires more care from you. Most women switch to a soft bristle toothbrush during this time. You’ll have more tender breasts and vaginal secretions will be thicker.

Emotional changes have begun to stabilize as you get more used to the idea of being pregnant. You are nearing the end of the first trimester, and the threat of miscarriage is dwindling. Discuss with your partner the changes that you anticipate in your family makeup, especially if there are other children in the family.

Sex during this time should be perfectly safe, unless you or your partner have an infection. Also, if you start bleeding after sex, consult your doctor.

Maintain your healthy diet during this time, and exercise, too. Exercise will be easier since your tiredness is decreasing. Start exercises to strengthen your pelvic floor, and practice deep breathing. Make sure you see the dentist, too.
