become startled by loud noises. So, you may want to keep your
surroundings a little more calm from now on.

What mom is feeling

• Weird pregnancy symptoms can unnerve any woman, but rest assured
that they will disappear after the birth of your child.

• Make sure that you are getting enough fluids to help that extra blood
more freely in your veins.
Specific concerns for the week

overheat more quickly than it used to. Watch the intensity of your

Special tip for mom

• Invest in some classical music or other soothing forms of music to
start calming your baby. Or just be sure to start talking to your womb
to help baby recognize the sound of your voice.
