In the 2nd quarter, the pregnant woman feels more willing and happier, as her body is already getting used to the changes caused by pregnancy.
At this stage, it is normal for a dark line to appear, which goes from the part below the belly button to the navel. Dark spots may appear on the face. For these spots not to increase, it is good for the pregnant woman to protect her face from the sun, using a hat, cap, or umbrella.
In the fifth month, the future mother begins to feel the baby's movements more and more intensely. They start to have a longer period of activity at certain times of the day and go through periods of rest.
In the sixth month, the belly is already looking good. Pregnant women gain weight a little each month. If they gain too much weight, they can have back pain as well as stretch marks on their breasts and belly. When the stretch marks itch, it is good to apply a paste made with cornstarch or starch (gum) and a little water.
It is good for parents to continue talking to the baby. When this is not the first child, it is good to involve the other children in this conversation. This way, children can better understand and accept the arrival of the new sibling. This helps prevent them from feeling rejected or abandoned after the baby is born.
During pregnancy, some couples feel an increase in sexual desire, and others feel little desire to have sexual intercourse.
The couple can continue to have sex. Only when the pregnant woman has bleeding, loss of fluids or severe pain should intercourse be avoided.
Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. Rm 12.9-10
