Feeling your baby's movements can be reassuring that all is going well. You have probably gained between 5-10 pounds and your belly is starting to look more rounded. You may experience some belly button tenderness over the next few weeks as your uterus rises up and starts pressing directly against the inside of your navel. It will begin to subside once your uterus is above the navel level, but while it lasts it can be painful for some. Your uterus does not float around but neither is it attached firmly to one spot. While you are standing your uterus touches your abdominal wall in the front and you are able to feel it most easily in this position. When you lie down it can fall backward onto your spine and blood vessels (vena cava and aorta).

You have probably heard about how pregnancy can leave you more absentminded and preoccupied. Recent study conducted at a British University indicates that there is no such correlation between pregnancy and a woman's absentmindedness. In fact women have been conditioned to believe that pregnancy impairs their critical thinking and concentration abilities so much so that when they make a mistake they blame it on their pregnancies hormones for these errors.
