You are probably feeling quite wonderful now that most of the early pregnancy symptoms like nausea, dizziness, frequent urination and fatigue are gone in week 21. You may be able to feel your Uterus about a half inch above your navel if you place your fingers. You may notice that your lower legs and feet swell towards the end of the day. This is due to the retention of excessive fluid during pregnancy. Try to get plenty of rest.

It can be stretched easily during any movements like changing position from sitting to standing quickly, laughing or coughing. You need not be alarmed as it is very common during second Trimester. You may experience the pain only for a few seconds.

You may be gaining weight as your little one is right now having a growth spurt. Average weight gain is generally between 2 and 4 kg. As your belly gets larger, it will slowly push the other organs to accommodate your growing baby and Uterus. You may be having more vaginal discharge now.

As your belly grows, you may occasionally lose your balance as there is a shift in your center of gravity. Exchange your high-heeled shoes for flat ones to reduce the risk of falling.

Your Uterus starts to rise past your hipbones. Your obstetrician will now measure the fundal height (distance from the top of the Uterus to the pubic bone) to make sure your baby is growing consistently and adequately.
