Your baby is continuously growing at this stage.&nbsp;The length of its arms is increasing and started to become proportionate with the rest of the body. The liver starts producing bile and spleen produces&nbsp;red blood cells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At this stage, Baby now begins to respond to bright light that penetrates the mother\u2019s abdominal wall.&nbsp; A startle reaction by baby can be observed when a bright light shines on the mother\u2019s abdomen<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"changes-in-your-body\"><strong>Changes in Your Body<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s happy news to hear that you will become less nauseated during this time and will have lesser trips of urination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, you might experience pain in both sides of the abdomen it is known as round ligament pain. This is a normal symptom of pregnancy and happens due to the growth of the uterine wall. Your breast grows during this time and your appetite will also increase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may find that your blood vessels can be seen really under the skin especially at your feet and legs. This is known as varicose veins and occurs due to the extra blood flow in your body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to the high levels of oestrogen and progesterone, it increases the blood flow towards&nbsp;the mucus membranes in your body. It includes the nose too which led towards swelling of the nasal glands causing difficulty to breathe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"your-plan-for-this-week\"><strong>Your Plan For This Week<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You are feeling that you are having extra mood swings then do not worry it is common during the pregnancy.
