🌸 Introduction
The second trimester, often called the “golden period” of pregnancy, is when most women feel more energetic. Morning sickness fades, appetite returns, and your baby grows rapidly. Here’s a simple guide by Dr Mamta Agrawal for mothers in their 4th to 6th month of pregnancy.
🧘♀️ 1. Stay Active and Exercise Safely
Engage in light physical activity such as walking, prenatal yoga, or stretching. Avoid heavy lifting or lying flat on your back for long durations.
🥗 2. Eat Smart for Two
Add high-protein foods like lentils, paneer, eggs, and soy. Increase calcium intake with milk and curd. Drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration.
🩻 3. Schedule Important Scans
Around 18–20 weeks, get your Level-2 ultrasound (Anomaly Scan) done.
It checks your baby’s organs, placenta, and overall growth.
🧪 4. Essential Blood Tests
Repeat tests for anemia, sugar, and thyroid as advised. Some mothers may need a Glucose Tolerance Test to detect gestational diabetes.
🪷 5. Care for Mental & Emotional Health
Stay connected with family and friends. Listen to soothing music, read positive books, and keep a pregnancy diary — it helps reduce stress and creates beautiful memories.
