Month 2 of Pregnancy: Baby Heartbeat and Mama's Changes

Intro:
Welcome to the second month of your pregnancy! I’m Dr. Heal. Let’s look at the changes happening in your baby and your body as you continue this exciting journey into parenthood. 

Key Information:
Your baby is growing quickly this month! Your little one now looks like a tiny tadpole, with a tail and a large head! Their tiny arms, legs, fingers, and toes are beginning to develop. Your baby’s brain and spine are starting to form, along with their tiny heart, which will begin beating by the sixth week, growing stronger with each day!

You might notice more changes in your own body, too. Morning sickness, mood swings, and tiredness can start during this time. Your trips to the bathroom might increase. You also might develop a strong craving or dislike towards certain foods. These symptoms can be challenging, but they’re all normal signs that your pregnancy is progressing.

Conclusion:
To ease your discomfort, try having small meals, or drinking ginger tea. Make sure to prioritize rest, healthy foods, and relaxation techniques, and avoid triggers that cause discomfort. Each day of pregnancy brings something new. If you ever feel unsure, connect with an Apollo doctor or join our community for advice and support. You’ve got this supermom!
