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.

I just wanted to tell your site that I am in fact going to have a baby girl! This is my 4th child and I have 3 boys so when your baby gender predictor reading said I'd have a girl I was really skeptical. But I am indeed having a baby girl in June. You're amazing!

Hello FortuneBaby, I would like to thank you for correct prediction back in January 2006. Once again thank you, thank you, thank you milion times for excellent service.

I was expecting my 4th baby. At 6 weeks into the pregnancy and already having 3 boys I was anxious for that girl. Your gender predictor was for us to have a girl and at our 20 week ultra sound the tech pointed out FEMALE anatomy. We are expecting our daughter in December and all of us couldn't be happier. Thanks for giving me something to look forward to!!

Your gender predictor results were correct! I did have a boy. The ultrasound tech told us we were having another girl but we have a wonderful suprise when we had a baby boy! Thanks
