    the space is getting a little snug in your uterus, and your baby might be moving less because of this.
    you might feel unsteady on your feet, so take your time while walking. As your belly expands, you might also lose the ability to bend over, and your gait might even change to support your tummy.
    Your breasts will grow and become even heavier.
