During this stage, your belly remains flat, but everyday symptoms may arise. Many expectant mothers feel unusually fatigued—prioritize rest whenever possible. You might also experience morning sickness, bloating, heartburn, constipation, breast tenderness, or leg discomfort. A slight weight gain may appear on the scale, though it's not yet pronounced.
Your baby is growing rapidly this month, taking on a more recognizable form. Facial features emerge, fingers and toes separate, the heart enlarges, and organs like the intestines and stomach continue forming. The head now accounts for half the body volume. By the end of month 2, the embryo measures 3-4 cm and weighs about 10 grams.
Schedule your first prenatal consultation within the first three months with a gynecologist, doctor, or midwife if you haven't already. Handle key administrative tasks: submit the pregnancy declaration sections from your exam to your health insurance and family allowance funds to secure your benefits.
