By this week, you will probably have been feeling less fatigued and nauseated, though headaches and dizziness might continue or get worse with the increased blood flow. |

Your uterus has been growing along with your baby and almost filling your pelvis. |
|
|
| • |
From around this week, your uterus will begin to shift up and forwards, so it won't be pressing on your bladder as much. |
|
|
| • |
However, as your uterus grows, the ligaments that hold up your uterus expand to accommodate it, which may cause you to feel some abdominal ache now and again. |
