Pregnancy Stages - Second Trimester
Hello in there! Here’s what happens during your second trimester of pregnancy. The second trimester, marked from weeks 13 to 28, is often when pregnant women feel at their best. The major developments in your baby’s growth have slowed, which means the hormones (and all the horrible symptoms!) tend to ease now, too. Your baby bump will be popped out – so people stop wondering if you’ve just been eating too much cake – and you can also begin to feel a bit more reassured that your pregnancy will be viable. It’s extremely unusual to miscarry after week 12, which is why many parents wait until the second trimester to announce their impending addition to the family. Your baby is busy refining the developments made in the first trimester, which means you’ll still feel reasonably light and mobile. The second trimester is arguably the most exciting period in pregnancy. On top of feeling a lot better, you’ll also begin to see obvious signs of life. Some women feel movement as early as 13 weeks, but some don’t feel those first flutters until closer to 25 weeks. It all depends on your baby’s positioning, and where your placenta is. It’s in the second trimester that you’ll have scans that will tell you your baby is growing as it should, and, if you like, what sex it is. While the external sex organs are more clearly male or female now, scans can get it wrong – it’s not unheard of for parents to take home a little girl when they were expecting a boy (and vice versa!) What happens to your body? While your body is saving up all the really big changes until the third trimester, you’ll still notice a big shift. Here are some symptoms you may experience: Feeling achy in your back, tummy, groin, or thighs Stretch marks on your tummy, breasts, thighs, or bum Darkening of the areola (skin around your nipple) Development of the linea nigra – a line on your skin running from belly button to pubic hairline Patches of darker skin on your cheeks, forehead, nose, or upper lip Numb or tingly hands Itchy tummy, palms or bottoms of the feet. If this is combined with fatigue, nausea and yellowed skin, call the doctor – it could be your liver. Swollen feet, ankles, face or fingers. If you puff up suddenly or gain weight quickly, call your doctor – it could be a sign of pre-eclampsia, which is serious. The good news is that this is the trimester for the famous pregnancy glow. If you’re lucky, you might notice your hair getting lush and shiny, your nails growing faster, and your skin looking radiant. Not too bad right? Remember to treat yourself kindly – lots of good food, sleep and gentle exercise. You may notice feeling a little slower, or short of breath now, too – this is normal. Listen to what your body is telling you and try not to push yourself too hard. What’s going on in there? At 16 weeks, your baby is about 11.5 cm long and weighs a hefty 85 grams. This trimester is all about putting the finishing touches on its little work of art. The bones and muscles are still forming and the skin appears – it’s nearly transparent. Your baby will also be making its first poo! This is called meconium and develops in your baby's intestinal tract. The sucking reflex is working overtime, practising for the breast or bottle. Whether or not you can feel it, your baby is also getting frisky in there, kicking arms and legs, and swimming around in that still-roomy sack. At 20 weeks, the way your baby is measured changes. Before, your baby was measured from head to bum – it’s hard to measure those tiny legs when they’re all tucked up. At 20 weeks, people generally begin measuring foetuses from head to heel – so it can seem your baby has stretched from 15cm in week 19 to 25cm in week 20. Your baby’s skin is now covered by fine, feathery hair, called lanugo, and a waxy protective coating called vernix. Other hair comes in too – eyebrows, lashes and the first tufts up on top. Your baby can swallow, and also has working ears – you may notice your baby’s movements respond to sound. By 24 weeks, your baby is over halfway done – and babies born at this stage have even been known to survive, with a lot of medical help. There’s still plenty more left to do, though. Your baby needs to fatten up, and still has important elements developing: bone marrow begins to make blood cells, taste buds, footprints and fingerprints form, and sex organs are all present and accounted for. Your baby’s lungs are formed, but still don’t work. What happens next? Read about your third trimester.

Health Tips for Pregnant Mums
Written by Kylie Stowe www.nourishedclinic.co.nz My name is Kylie. I am a mum of four, a Nutrition & Health Coach, and a Mindfulness Teacher.Being a busy mum myself, I’m drawn to nutrition and wellbeing for mums – an area of health that is often undervalued. Over the coming months, I’m really excited to share some practical tips, recipes and personal experiences to help you navigate these beautiful, yet sometimes challenging, times. I’m thankful that the team here at Dimples saw the need to go beyond supplying beautiful baby goods to also nourish and care for our mums. Health Tips for Pregnant Mums Focus on whole, unprocessed, nourishing foods There is a lot of pressure on pregnant mums to eat the ‘perfect diet’. This can be incredibly confusing due to the overwhelming amount of conflicting information out there. You’re not alone if this has been a source of guilt – especially when morning sickness makes eating anything but iceblocks and dry crackers impossible. Just remember, you do what you have to do to get through those early months. Nutrient requirements during pregnancy are higher, and supporting a growing baby can often deplete your own stores. Building meals from whole, unprocessed foods is a great option, as they’re rich in essential nutrients. Heavily processed foods are often low in nutritional value – hence the term “empty calories”. Think: Good quality protein such as free-range or grass-fed meats, seafood, eggs, legumes, nuts, and seeds At least four serves of colourful vegetables and two serves of fruit Whole grains like quinoa, steel-cut oats or brown rice Pasteurised dairy (if tolerated) Healthy fats like extra virgin olive oil and avocado If morning sickness makes meals tricky, smoothies can be a great way to get nutrients in. My go-to was Nuzest’s Clean Lean Protein (a high-quality powder with no fillers), nut butter, banana, berries, greens and almond milk. Hydration is also important. Aim for two glasses of water on waking (we often wake dehydrated), and another two litres throughout the day. After the first trimester, 1–2 cups of pregnancy-safe tea (like Artemis Pregnancy Tea) can also be helpful. If nausea makes hydration hard, try small sips often. Diet alone can’t always meet every nutritional need – a good quality prenatal supplement containing folate, iodine, vitamin D and DHA is a smart addition. Always speak to your LMC or health professional about what’s right for you. Movement is also important – even just a walk outdoors. The fresh air and added vitamin D boost mood, support the immune system and help with joint and fitness health during pregnancy. There are also great prenatal fitness and yoga classes available – these are wonderful for connecting with other mums-to-be. Some of the mums I met through yoga have become lifelong friends and a valuable part of my motherhood support network. I always say: aim for progress, not perfection when it comes to health and nutrition. Recognising that this is an ongoing journey can ease the pressure of trying to get it “just right”. If you’d like to dive deeper into prenatal nutrition, I highly recommend dietitian Lily Nichols’ book Real Food for Pregnancy. It’s full of great information and recipes.

Motherhood: Beyond the Fourth Trimester
Beyond The Fourth Trimester - A Sustainable Approach To Health Once the first few months with your new baby have passed you might be feeling like the haze of those early weeks has passed. You also might not be there just yet, just as each baby is different so is each pregnancy and the subsequent postpartum period. This is why it is important to be mindful of not judging how well you are doing based on other mothers who might appear to be completely back to normal with a baby who sleeps all night. If you are still breastfeeding, many mothers report a drop in milk supply at this point often saying that they no longer feel like their breasts are as full. This is something I experienced with my first baby and thought it meant I was losing my milk supply. It is normal for the initial fullness and engorgement to diminish as your milk supply is more established at this point, and your body has adjusted to supplying what your baby needs. If you do ever feel concerned by this your Plunket nurse, local lactation consultant or the La Leche league are a wonderful source of support & encouragement. Once those exhausting early months have passed many of the mothers I work with are keen to start focusing on reclaiming their pre-pregnancy bodies and to start dieting and exercising. Focusing on good nutrition and consistent exercise is hugely beneficial and has many positive health impacts such as increased energy, better sleep, improved mood and changes in body composition. What is really important to be mindful of, is that changes in diet and physical activity are best to be done with an incremental approach to minimise the chances of under-fuelling yourself, drops in milk supply, injuries and adding too much pressure on yourself. It also allows you to build sustainable health habits that you are more likely to maintain long term. I always recommend an appointment with a postpartum trained physiotherapist. They can assess your posture for diastasis recti (tummy muscle separation) and guidance on pelvic floor exercises. Women who have had caesareans often think because they haven't had a natural birth they don't need to worry about pelvic floor exercises - this isn't the case, pregnancy still takes its toll on the body so re-strengthening the pelvic floor after carrying a baby is important for all mothers. Working with a personal trainer that specialises in postpartum exercise is a great idea. They can ensure your exercise technique is correct to avoid injury and set an exercise program that is suitable for your current fitness level that will be mindful of the changes that need to be made to a fitness program based on your requirements postpartum. When looking at dieting I always encourage my Mum’s take a non-diet approach to focus on improving health not through restriction but with healthy nutritional choices that improve their health status not diminish it. To achieve this we focus on a nutritional approach that has a strong focus on nutrient repletion to help the body to replete nutrients that were preferentially supplied to their growing baby. Focusing on a diet full of whole unprocessed foods is the foundation for this. Most women find that this approach is very empowering, it leads to better satiety and self-regulation of eating over restriction then binge eating. When it comes to improving your diet always aim for progress, not perfection, and most importantly enjoy your meals! Adequate protein intake is essential for tissue repair and rebuilding especially when exercising. Sources of protein include meat, chicken, seafood, eggs, legumes nuts and seeds. Protein also helps to keep you feeling full for longer. I use and recommend Clean Lean Protein powder for smoothies as it is perfectly safe for breastfeeding mums. You can use the discount code ‘mela’ to save 15% at nuzest.co.nz . Eating plenty of colourful vegetables and some fruits (eat the rainbow!) is important to supply essential vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, fibre and carbohydrate. I aim to have three fist-sized servings of vegetables with lunch and dinner. It is important to supply yourself with some complex carbohydrate for energy and to assist with glycogen repletion after exercising. Some good sources are pumpkin, yams, kumara, and whole grains such as brown rice and quinoa. Don't forget to incorporate healthy fats with each meal. Fats have been demonised and avoided for so long that many people are not aware of how important adequate fat intake is for health. Dietary fat is essential for the absorption of many nutrients, production of certain hormones, the supply of energy and support of cell growth. Good sources of healthy fats include oily fish such as salmon, extra virgin olive oil, hemp seed oil, avocado, nuts and seeds. Lastly don't forget to drink your water! Aim for two glasses on rising then another 2 litres throughout the day and more when exercising. If you are a breastfeeding mum aiming to have a glass of water with each feed I find keeping a water bottle close by during the day and for those night feeds is a great idea - it’s thirsty work! Kylie Stowe @melawholefoods Postpartum Nourish Bowl Serves 1 Ingredients 120-150 grams of cooked sliced meat (or vegetarian alternative) 2 cups of salad greens 1 cup of an assortment of diced colourful vegetables 1 palm-sized serve of cooked complex carbohydrate (pumpkin, yams, brown rice, quinoa, kumara) ¼ - ½ of an avocado or 40 grams of Feta 1 tbsp of hummus 1tbsp toasted pumpkin & sunflower seeds 2 tbsp of dressing of your choice. Method Arrange all of the ingredients in a bowl, season, drizzle with dressing and enjoy! My favourite dressing is made with extra virgin olive oil, apple cider vinegar & wholegrain mustard. To change up the flavours you can coat your protein in different herbs and spices the one pictured is Moroccan chicken.

Pregnancy stages – First Trimester
Welcome, little bean Here’s what happens during your first trimester of pregnancy. You’re pregnant! Congrats – this is both an unbelievably special moment, and one that’s totally ordinary. It should come as a comfort to you that while this may be your first time pregnant, there are billions of women who have gone before you. The first thing to remember about pregnancies is that each is unique – our founder Jane Anne had 14 children and tells us that none of her pregnancies were the same. There are, however, some things you can predict. Most women experience similar things at similar stages, and you can expect your baby to grow and develop at predictable periods. The first trimester begins at the official date of conception, which oddly enough is counted from about two weeks before you actually conceive. That’s because doctors count from the date of your last period – you’ll have ovulated and conceived about two weeks after, but there’s no way of knowing exactly when. What happens to your body? During the first trimester, your baby’s development is at its most visibly startling, developing from a cluster of cells into something that looks pretty much human in a matter of weeks. That takes a lot of effort – and hormones – on the part of your body. While most women won’t start to show until the second trimester (and a bit earlier if this isn’t your first pregnancy), many women feel very pregnant very quickly – bloat can look a lot like a pregnancy belly. Some other symptoms you may experience are: Feeling really tired Sore and swollen breasts and nipples Morning sickness (that actually appears around the clock!) Food cravings or aversions Mood swings Constipation Needing to pee more Headaches Indigestion Weight gain or loss Such glamour! But don’t worry – this is only a short-lived period in your pregnancy. It gets easier. The best way to manage it is to stay as healthy as possible. Eat and sleep well, and get as much gentle exercise as you can manage. That means you may need to go to bed earlier, cut out foods that make you queasy, eat smaller meals more frequently, and shift away from high-impact exercises to walking, swimming, and yoga. For many women, morning sickness peaks in weeks 8 and 9 and then will begin to taper off – along with their other symptoms – as they head into the second trimester (counted from 12 weeks). What’s going on in there? Your baby is getting busy! These early weeks are when your baby is building all the components of its body. By week 12, your baby will look like a person (just with odd proportions). At four weeks, your baby is still called an embryo. At a teeny tiny 0.5cm long, your baby has already begun work on its brain, spinal cord, and heart. Four little buds have sprouted, which will eventually become legs and arms. By week eight, your baby is 2.5cm and is now officially a fetus. All major organs are under development (hello, tiny lungs) and the heart has begun to beat. Little details are underway too – fingers and toes (with minuscule nails!) sex organs and facial features. The end of the first trimester is marked by the beginning of week 12. At this point, your baby is about 7.5cm long, with nerves and muscles that work together (which is why some parents catch their little one sucking a thumb on scans!) Eyelids close and won’t open again until about week 28. If you could peer inside, you’d see that your baby looks quite a lot like… a baby! The head, however, is still a lot bigger in proportion to the body and the arms and legs are still quite short. What happens next? Read about your second trimester here.
