17 weeks

Every Monday I am entering a new week of pregnancy. There are so much things that is happening to the baby each week. It is fascinating!

By 17 weeks pregnant, you are probably steadily gaining weight. Your uterus is changing and looking more egg-shaped, compared to the round ball it was previously. As your second trimester progresses, the uterus will gradually grow to fill out your pelvis and abdomen. When this happens, your internal organs (such as intestines) will get pushed to upward, and you'll experience gastrointestinal problems as a result.

Your uterus is now 1.5 to 2 inches below your belly button, so you should be showing a little in your lower abdomen. (If you're having twins, or if you've been pregnant before, you'll look more pregnant.) Since your belly isn't that big yet, you can still probably hide your pregnancy for a couple extra weeks (if you want). To keep strangers from learning you're pregnant, try wearing baggier clothes.
