Second trimester of pregnancy


2nd Trimester Duration: Weeks 14 through Week 26
2nd trimester fetus development

The second trimester lasts from the fourteenth to the twenty-sixth week and is marked by rapid growth of the fetus. The baby's movement occurs during the second trimester at the fourteenth week. As you enter the second trimester, constipation and heartburn affect your body. During the fifteenth week, the baby will grow hair on its head and body. The body hair sheds before birth generally. Heartburn sets in, so avoid spicy foods. This is also the time during which your doctor can measure the fundus, or fundal height which is the height between your uterus and pelvic bone. This indicates to the doctor how the fetus is growing.

2nd trimester fetus development

Weeks 16 through 20 are a time of extreme growth for the unborn child. You will gain weight as the baby grows, and you will experience its movement constantly. You may also experience some cramping and toughness in the abdomen. Weeks 21 through 26 are marked by a slowdown in the development of the child. By the end of the second trimester, the fetus's vital systems, bones, organs and spinal cord have all developed. By the end of the 26th week, your energy will decrease as your body feeds the baby's body.

Fortune Baby Gender Predictor Reviews


Thousands of happy moms around the world successfully used Fortunebaby gender prediction test. We are delighted to share their gender prediction reviews about their experience with Fortune Baby.

Thank you for getting back to me. Also, I thought I would let you know that the Ultrasound confirmed your baby gender prediction test results that I'm having a boy. I am quite amazed that your method works, as I really thought it was just a neat parlor game that I took to amuse myself while I waited to find out the medical results. But you were right and I plan on telling my friends whenever they are pregnant and want to know early.

Hi, I just wanted to say thank you! I just got the results of my CVS test (similar to Amnio, but done earlier in pregnancy) and you were right! It's a girl!!! I can't believe it because I was sure it was a boy due how close to ovulation I conceived. I'm so thrilled because not only are we assured now that the baby has no chromosomal problems, (I was worried because I'm 40 now) but we were hoping for a girl....I can't believe you were right! I will definitely tell my friends about your service! I know you basically have a 50/50 chance of being right, but how do you really do it!? I'm amazed!

I just wanted to write and say how thankful I am for your website. I have two boys and was desperate for a girl. I found your website and decided to follow your rules. It took 5 months for me to fall pregnant but it was worth the wait. At my 20 week scan I was told they were 85% sure I was having a girl but couldn't be 100%. I wouldn't believe it until I saw it for myself and you were right - I gave birth to a girl. My sons are delighted with their new baby sister. I do not plan on having anymore children but have already passed your website onto two of my friends. Once again I would like to say thank you very much for the advice. I couldn't have done it without you!! Many Thanks!

Fortune Baby predicted I would have a girl. It is a girl! Thanks!
