The Second Trimester - What to expect, Do's and Don'ts | Dr Anjali Kumar | Maitri

The second trimester of pregnancy is often the most enjoyable time of pregnancy. The worst of the nausea has usually passed and your baby isn't big enough to make you feel too uncomfortable . You are feeling better but big changes are taking place inside your body. The baby too is growing and developing rapidly inside. Here's what to expect, how to relieve common symptoms, take good care of pregnancy and consider ways to prepare for what's ahead.

The second trimester is that special time of pregnancy, when you can actually start feeling nice about being pregnant. It's important to know what changes are happening inside you and how is your little one growing inside. In this video, I have tried to tell you about many interesting things happening to your baby and many small problems and their solutions which women usually face in this trimester. It's a little long video, but I didn't want to miss the important information. So, all of you who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, do watch the whole video and do not forget to share this with anyone who is pregnant.

I'm 12 weeks and 1 day☺️stepping into my 2nd trimester and I must say I did lose a lot of weight during my 1st trimester. It was hectic,I didn't have an appetite and as if that wasn't enough the little that I would eat would be vomited. Then the backache was unbearable. I did not have any energy at all, the only places that were comfortable for me was the couch or bed. But now I feel my energy returning and I can eat a bit more now. Safe pregnancy and healthy delivery to all you mommies

Ma'am, maybe you could do a video on pregnancy diet...I am constantly thinking how I am going to provide enough protein to my baby in womb...I am a Bengali but my in-laws are pure vegetarian north Indians, so I have had to sort of give up on fish & chicken...besides, I still suffer from execessive fatigue in my 2nd trimester now, so I can't cook much or experiment in the kitchen, hence my question: What do I eat (in vegetarian food) to provide enough protein to my baby & my body, & which is really easy & quick to prepare.... otherwise, really comprehensive & reassuring videos, best😊💐👍

Thank you so much mam for such a value information! At the moment I am 15 weeks pregnant. I am trying my best to eat healthy and take supplements elevit (very common here in Australia) and vitamin D. Thought I don’t have a sweet tooth, but during this time of my life, I have been loving chocolates! I try to eat them as little as possible, but I am still worried about developing gestational diabetes due to this or any other sweet stuff I eat once in a while. Please tell, if that can increase my chances of having gestational diabetes? Also please tell what kind of foods I should avoid so that I don’t get this disease. Thanks in advance!
