From the seventh month the pregnant woman will start to put on weight considerably. But do not put control on food due to this. Have healthy and nutritious food. There is chance for being anemic again. In order to avoid anemic condition have more iron content food and vitamins.

From the seventh month the uterus will grow 1cm in each week. The blood pressure that was low in the earlier months can come up now. On the eighth month your blood pressure can reach to almost similar level blood pressure of delivery time. You may feel that you are losing strength of hips and thighs. This happens due to the growth and increase in weight and of the fetus. Some may feel the loss of a drop of urine while laughing or coughing. This is known as “Stress incontinence”.
