2 months of pregnancy: Your baby's progress
The nervous system, lungs, liver, stomach and pancreas are developing considerably. The spine and the kidneys are formed.
The first muscles, those which allow the baby to move, are put in place. Sensory organs like the optic nerve, ears, tongue, and the tip of the nose continue to form and are visible on ultrasound.
The embryo cannot hear and cannot see yet. His little heart is partitioned into the right and left heart.
The great story of my pregnancy in ultrasounds
At the end of the 2nd month, the embryo measures approximately 3 cm and weighs 2 to 3g.
Practical steps
- Make an appointment for the first ultrasound, prescribed by the doctor.
- Complete the Declaration of pregnancy then send the two corresponding sheets to the CNAM and the last one to the CAF. You will receive a letter from the CNAM with the dates of the medical visits and examinations to be carried out 100% covered as well as the corresponding labels to stick on your treatment sheets.
- Also, don't forget to reserve your maternity ward if you haven't already. The waiting list can be long.
Your health at 2 months of pregnancy
If you have some nausea in the morning, drink a glass of water on an empty stomach and try to have breakfast lying in bed; wait 1/4 hour before getting up. Also take ginger or chamomile tea instead of tea or coffee.
If you suffer from small ailments daily routine like hot flashes, frequent urination, sore breasts, heartburn, headache, dizziness, nasal bleeding, itching, vomiting, alternative medicine like homeopathy can help you stay safe for the baby.
Consult in case of losses greenish or smelly.
If you are tired and as you can, a 20 minute nap will help you a lot to recover.
Your respiratory and heart rate may increase. In this case, be careful but do not fall into weariness.
The abdominal tightness are normal and should not be confused with uterine contractions. Remember to rest by taking deep, quiet breaths.
Practice a sports activity soft: walking and swimming but also soft gymnastics, yoga and dance.
Drink at least 1.5 liters of water per day to prevent urinary tract infections.
Your diet at 2 months of pregnancy
For your diet, prefer fresh and varied products to frozen products. Do not ban the proteins that are essential for the development of the muscles of the embryo, nor the caloric intake that you find in starchy foods, which will prevent you from falling too frequently for the sweet treats.
However, avoid eating too fatty, too sweet and too salty.
For your well-being and your health, watch your weight gain which ideally should vary between 10 and 12 kilos over nine months, less if you are round, more if you are thin.
Your skin
Also take care of your skin to limit the appearance of stretch marks which are normal but irreversible: choose oils and anti-stretch mark creams specially designed for pregnant women which, by definition, have no contraindication.
Psycho side

- You will fear that your body will change too suddenly, delivery that is not going well, the arrival of an abnormal baby. All his fears are normal. All moms have known them and future moms are just like you.
- Small sessions at the maternity ward or with a specialist can restore your confidence, build you a stronger character, and calm your fears. Do not hesitate to talk to your doctor or a loved one.
