Month 4 of Pregnancy: Baby’s Movements & Your Body’s Changes

Month 4 of pregnancy

Intro:
Welcome to the 4th month of your pregnancy! I’m Dr. Heal, and today we’ll talk about the amazing developments you can expect as your baby grows and your body continues to change. It’s an exciting time, and I’m here to guide you through it!

Key Information:
Your baby’s motor skills are now at work and they can suck their thumb, stretch, yawn, and even make faces! Their genitalia are now formed. One of the most significant changes is the development of your baby’s facial features. Their lips are now fully formed, and their ears are developed enough that they can hear sounds. 
By the fourth month, some early symptoms like nausea may ease up, but digestive issues like heartburn and constipation can still be troublesome for you. Shortness of breath and backache continue. The complications of varicose veins and hemorrhoids may occur in some women. Increased blood flow can cause things like bleeding gums, nosebleeds, or stuffy sinuses. You might also feel dizzy or lightheaded due to changes in your blood vessels. Finally, your appetite may also increase this month.
