Your breasts are really bigger than they used to be.

From now on you will see your obstetrician every two weeks.

You may feel short of breath.

You may develop varicose veins.

What to do:

Piles – Eat more fruits and vegies and drink lots of water.

Leg cramps - Lie down on the side and get the weight off the blood vessel going up. It may also help for her to take calcium supplements or to take more food rich in calcium whether it's fruits, vegetables, soya bean, milk. Or even massaging her legs with a deep heat cream before she goes to sleep and propping her legs on a pillow. That helps to reduce leg cramps and also reduce the leg swelling.

Puffy hands and feet – Wear comfortable shoes. You might have to consider changing your shoe size.

Varicose veins - When she lies down, lie down on her side so she takes the pressure off the blood vessels. Use special stockings because that helps to pump up the circulation, and when she's resting to put her feet up because that helps to improve the circulation.

Your baby:

Baby looks more like how she or he will look when they are born.

Your baby gets hiccups now and then.

Baby's muscles are well toned now and in proportion to the body size.
