Mothers development
You have gone into the second trimester.
For most people, it will take a few more weeks before the baby’s movements can be felt, but if you have been pregnant before, you might already feel the baby moving around in there.
Notice a dark line on your belly? This is called linea nigra and is due to hormone changes. The line will fade and disappear after delivery.
