In this stage
of the pregnancy your blood volume has increased up to 40 %. Your
uterus is now the size of an orange. Your hormones are all over
the place.
Your baby is
now 24 mm, four times bigger than a month ago. Now the complete
shape of the face appears. The two sides of his/her head are growing.
The embryo is now growing quickly.
Forbidden foods
in the pregnancy are the brie cheese, camembert and blue cheese,
because of the high risk of listeriosis. This is not a very common
problem but it could have serious consequences in the fetus.
Food tip: Eat
protein portions like meat, fish or eggs twice or three times a
day; 5 pieces of fruit and vegetable, three portions of milk related
products, and also six units of carbohydrates (like potatoes, pasta
and bread). |
