How does mom's body change?

The uterus has grown a lot in its size, pushes and compresses the diaphragm and lungs (and therefore you can often feel breathless and short of breath), and it displaces organs such as the stomach.

You may suffer from heartburn and indigestion, this is because the baby weighs on the stomach and you may feel full much earlier than usual. Don't hesitate to ask your doctor for advice if burning or reflux becomes difficult to manage.

Often the cause of heartburn is also to be found in the position that the mother assumes: being seated for a long time compresses the belly, resulting in aches that lead to abdominal pain. In order to avoid this discomfort, it may be useful to practice light sports or gymnastics, which help to keep the skin elastic and to minimize inconveniences.
