Starting to show?
Your growing uterus will soon begin to crowd out its neighbors and rise above your pubic bone. You will finally start to see signs of that baby bump! You may feel heaviness in your abdomen caused by your stretching uterine ligaments. Frequent urination may still be a fact of life at this point. But the appearance of pain or burning could be a sign of a urinary tract infection. If this is the case, make sure to reach out to your doctor.
At this point, you may gain about three pounds due to an increase in blood volume and water retention. If you lost weight due to vomiting earlier in the pregnancy, you may find yourself at your normal weight now.
In the third month of pregnancy, many expectant mothers begin to complain of insomnia [1]. Your sleep may become restless and easily disturbed, and many women experience unusual dreams. Because all of this interferes with good rest, you may start your days feeling tired already. Your body is working on overdrive and your nervous system is on high alert.
Being mindful of healthy sleeping habits can help you get the rest you need
Keep a consistent routine — go to bed around the same time every night;
Take a relaxing walk before bedtime;
Ventilate your bedroom well;
Avoid light pollution: dim the lights, set aside your cell phone and other gadgets an hour before going to bed, and use blackout curtains to prevent street lights from interfering with your sleep.
Discharge
Normal to moderate, milky in color with a homogeneous consistency. If you experience any substantial changes in discharge, consult your doctor. If you have cramps and pain in the lower abdomen in combination with spotting, seek immediate medical attention [2].
