This period is usually considered the most comfortable as the risk of miscarriage decreases, and the baby’s movements become more noticeable. The fetus grows significantly, and by the end of this trimester, it has developed recognizable features and vital organs.
From week 27 until birth (third trimester) our babies start to prepare for coming out from the womb. Its organ started to develop perfectly and also gain weight. Mothers feel uncomfortable with the baby’s size, position, and movement. Preparing for childbirth becomes essential, involving physical readiness and emotional support from loved ones and healthcare providers.
