Weight gain should start to slow down this month. If it doesn't, however, don't cut your calorie intake below 2,600 to try and stop it. You need the extra energy for both of you.

As your baby settles firmly on your bladder, bathroom stops step up once again. You may even experience some stress incontinence, which is minor dribbling or leakage of urine when you sneeze, cough, laugh, or make other sudden movements. This should clear up postpartum.

Other symptoms that may begin or continue this month include:

__ Fatigue

__ Frequent urination

__ Tender and/or swollen breasts

__ Colostrum discharge from nipples

__ Bleeding gums

__ Excess mucus and saliva

__ Increase in vaginal discharge

__ Mild shortness of breath

__ Lightheadedness or dizziness

__ Headaches

__ Forgetfulness

__ Gas

__ Heartburn

__ Constipation

__ Skin and hair changes

__ Round ligament pain or soreness

__ Lower back aches

__ Mild swelling of legs, feet, and hands

__ Leg cramps

__ Painless, irregular Braxton Hicks contractions

__ Minor vision changes (fluid retention can slightly change the shape of your eyes and estrogen can cause your eyes to be drier than normal)
