By some estimates, about 20 percent of pregnant women get really itchy skin -- and not just on their stretching belly, but all over. About 1 in 100 to 150 get a more severe itching condition called PUPPP (or pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy). You’ll notice extremely itchy reddish bumps that, while annoying, aren’t anything to worry about. If it’s just general itchiness you experience, though, try smoothing on a good, calming lotion or asking your doctor about ointments or even antihistamines you might be able to take for it (since it could be an allergic reaction). Two other symptoms that might arise around this stage in your pregnancy (if they haven’t already): constipation and hemorrhoids. Eating a high-fiber diet can help you get regular again. And since constipation can contribute to hemorrhoids, all the more reason to load up on this nutrient. Start your day with a big bowl of high-fiber cereal. Here are a few other foods that contain good doses of fiber:

3 dried figs: 5 grams
1 cup baked beans: 13 grams
1 baked sweet potato: 6 grams
1 cup kidney beans: 12 grams
3 cups popcorn: 3 grams
1 cup brown rice: 3 grams

By this time your baby’s ears are fully functional and he will be able to hear loud-ish sounds from outside your belly -- you might even feel him flinch in response to, say, a car door slamming. (And if you could see inside your belly, you might also notice him squint in response to the racket.) So keep talking to him and playing music! Teensy weensy fingernails have formed on his hands and he can curl his fingers into fists. Your baby’s first meconium stool has been forming in the large intestine and will be excreted shortly after birth. (Some kiddos pass this thick, dark poop in the amniotic fluid before the birth, which would require suctioning following delivery to clear it from the lungs.)

If you’ve been diligently exercising, good for you -- and your baby, too! At this point in your pregnancy, however, working out may begin to feel uncomfortable. Going for a jog might make you feel like the baby is going to fall out mid-stride (even though you know it won’t) and your belly has probably grown to the point that a lot of the poses in your favorite yoga class just aren’t happening anymore (your bump gets in the way). Rather than stopping altogether, look for other kinds of exercise you can do instead, like walking or swimming. Staying active will help keep your weight gain within healthy limits, help you feel emotionally and physically better as your pregnancy progresses and may even make delivery easier for you. So get going!

I'm just not in the mood for sex and I feel so sore afterwards! I'm also starting to feel more awkward and clumsy, so that just makes things weird. I feel sorry for DH because this is also an important part of our relationship. - -cwe4244
