Second trimester
By Mayo Clinic staffDuring the second trimester of pregnancy — from months four to six — you may feel better than you did at first. Now's the time to enjoy your pregnancy!
During the second trimester, your baby may begin to seem more real. Second trimester signs and symptoms may include larger breasts, a growing belly and skin changes. For your baby, the second trimester often marks the ability to kick, make facial expressions and hear. By week 20, you'll be halfway into your pregnancy and your baby may weigh about 9 ounces (255 grams).
Regular visits to your health care provider remain important during the second trimester. Tell your health care provider what's on your mind, even if it seems silly or unimportant.
