At two months pregnant, you might be feeling overwhelmed, excited, worried, happy — or all of the above, and more. That’s pregnancy for you! There’s no doubt you’ll have a lot on your mind this month. Read on to learn more about common pregnancy symptoms, how your baby is developing during the coming weeks, and what else is in store for you at two months pregnant.
At two months pregnant, some commonly experienced pregnancy symptoms include:
Morning sickness . Pregnancy-related nausea and vomiting often strikes between week four and week nine . Contrary to popular belief, morning sickness can hit at any time of day, not just in the morning. It might help to maintain a balanced diet , staying away from greasy and spicy foods, and to go for smaller, more frequent meals. When you wake up in the morning, try eating some plain crackers before getting out of bed to help stabilize your blood sugar levels. Rest, stay hydrated, and sip ginger ale or ginger tea to calm your stomach. Not all moms-to-be experience morning sickness, but if you do, take some comfort in the fact that it frequently subsides by the time you reach the second trimester . If your symptoms are particularly bad, speak to your healthcare provider as it could be a sign of a more severe form of morning sickness called hyperemesis gravidarum .
Mood changes . Don’t be surprised if you’re a bit more emotional than usual. Your body is experiencing a surge of hormones, which can lead to some wild shifts in your emotions. Your moods might also fluctuate based on how you’re feeling physically or mentally. For example, if you have morning sickness and this is making you feel uncomfortable and stressed, then it’s natural to feel down from time to time.
Food aversions . Certain foods, or even smells, that you once enjoyed can start to seem unappealing and may even trigger nausea now that you’re pregnant. If you find your tastes have changed, it’s OK to stick to blander foods until your appetite returns (usually in the second trimester). Just make sure to speak to your healthcare provider about ways to keep up a healthy diet if certain foods are off the menu temporarily. You can also download our guide to nutrition during pregnancy for some helpful tips.
Heartburn and indigestion. Pregnancy hormones can also relax the valve that connects your stomach and esophagus. When this happens, stomach acid can leak into the esophagus, causing this uncomfortable symptom. Spicy or fried foods are best avoided if you suffer from heartburn.
Constipation . Feeling a little backed up can be a normal symptom of early pregnancy. Constipation may be caused by the hormone progesterone, which can slow digestion. Your prenatal vitamins can also lead to constipation if they contain a lot of iron. Staying hydrated and active can help, though.
Bloating. You might be familiar with this symptom from your monthly menstrual cycle, but it can also crop up as an early sign of pregnancy . As usual, blame it on hormones if your jeans are now fitting a little bit tighter than normal.
Fatigue . Being pregnant takes a lot of energy, so it’s perfectly normal to feel worn out or just more sleepy than usual . Rest when you can, even if this means saying “no” to a few things. A healthy diet and moderate exercise can sometimes give you a little energy boost. Plus, take comfort in the fact that many moms-to-be say their energy levels increase in the next trimester.
Get ready for your baby's arrival by finding out your estimated due date.
This month, your little one starts to develop a tiny nose, mouth, and ears. Eyelids have formed, and they’ll stay fused shut until the latter part of the second trimester.

There’s also some important organ development happening this month. Your little one’s lungs now connect to the throat with breathing tubes. Like the lungs, the heart still has a lot of growing to do, but it’s now beating about 105 beats per minute — how about that!

The amniotic sac is now developed and filled with amniotic fluid. Its important job is to house and protect your little one from now until birth.

That’s not all! At the end of week eight , or approximately the end of your second month, there’s another exciting milestone: Your little one graduates from an embryo to a fetus, in medical terms, that is.
At the end of you being two months pregnant, your baby’s size could be about half an inch long, or in other words about the size of a raspberry.
Check out these illustrations for a glimpse at what your baby might look like when you’re two months pregnant:
Don’t expect to see too much of a belly bump at two months pregnant. At this stage, your body probably won’t look dramatically different. (Read more about when you might start showing .) What you might notice, though, is that in addition to some sensitivity and soreness, your breasts may look fuller.

If your pre-pregnancy weight was within the normal BMI range, your healthcare provider may recommend a target weight gain of 25 to 35 pounds during your pregnancy, and at least two of these pounds will likely be gained by your breasts.

Over the course of the first trimester, you are likely to gain about one to five pounds. Try our Weight Gain Calculator to learn how much weight you may be advised to gain during the rest of your pregnancy. Your healthcare provider is your go-to resource for advice about healthy weight gain and nutrition during pregnancy.

Usually, you’ll only need to add about 300 extra calories to your diet each day, but this amount may increase later in your pregnancy. Your provider will be able to advise you based on your specific situation.
At two months pregnant, you’re well into the first trimester , which spans week 1 to week 13 .

If you’re wondering how many weeks two months pregnant is, the answer can vary somewhat because weeks don't fit evenly into months, and you could be at the start or the end of your second month. So, you may want to think of two months pregnant as covering week five through week eight .

If you haven’t already, find out when you’ll get to meet your little one. Your healthcare provider will likely be able to give you an estimated due date at your first or next prenatal appointment; in the meantime, try our Due Date Calculator .
Keep all of your prenatal appointments to make sure you and your little one are staying healthy.
Focus on maintaining a healthy, balanced diet, and follow your healthcare provider's advice on starting or continuing to take prenatal vitamins .
Although not everyone experiences morning sickness, lots of moms-to-be do, so read up on when morning sickness typically starts and ends to help you feel more prepared.

It’s the second week of your 40-week pregnancy journey. Just like week one , you still aren't technically pregnant, but you’re closer than ever to that goal. During week 2, your body is getting ready to ovulate .

To maximize your chances of creating a new life, now is the time to pay attention to your body's subtle fertility signals and spend some quality intimate time with your partner.

Remember, your health care provider calculates your due date and the 40-week countdown from the first day of your last period. So, if you just had a positive pregnancy test and think you’ve been pregnant for two weeks, then you’d actually be at week 4 .

While there is no fetal development at this time, it’s coming, and your body is preparing for it. In your ovary, an egg is maturing and getting ready to break free.

Meanwhile, the lining of your uterus is growing and getting thicker to accept and nourish a new life. At the end of the week, ovulation will occur as your ovary releases the egg into your fallopian tubes.

An egg can survive for 12 to 24 hours after ovulation. But, you don’t have to have sex on the exact day of ovulation. Since sperm can live up to five days in fertile cervical mucus , you can have intercourse every other day during week 2, or time intercourse a day or two before ovulation, to get the sperm in place, ready, and waiting for the egg when is released.

Of the millions of sperm that start the journey to the egg, only a fraction of the healthiest and strongest will make it to the fallopian tube. Once there, only one will enter the egg. When the sperm and egg join together, it’s called fertilization.

With your period in the rear-view mirror, you may be feeling pretty good this week. You may not have any symptoms at all, or you may notice a few changes in your body. Week 2 symptoms aren’t pregnancy-related, but they may be signs of ovulation .

If your regular cycle is 28 days or shorter, you're likely to ovulate by the end of the week. If your cycle tends to be a little longer, you may ovulate a bit later. Keep an eye out for the symptoms below.

As you approach ovulation, the cervix becomes high, soft, and slightly open . Cervical mucus that was thick, sticky, or creamy, begins to thin out. It becomes clear and watery or very stretchy like a raw egg-white. Watery and egg-white cervical mucus allows sperm to survive and swim to the egg that will soon be released.

“Before you ovulate, your estrogen levels go up, which thins the cervical mucus. The mucus looks almost like fresh egg whites—like a clear white gel. This is a big clue that ovulation is about to happen within the next few days.”

Nature always seems to have a way of knowing what to do. Hormone changes leading up to ovulation can give a boost to sexual desire during the most fertile time in a person's menstrual cycle.

If you feel a little more passionate than usual, you're probably approaching ovulation. Take the hint, and do what feels natural.

As ovulation approaches, the hormone estrogen increases. Rising estrogen causes changes in saliva. When you look at it under a microscope, dried up non-fertile saliva looks like dots and lines whereas dry fertile saliva has a ferning pattern that looks like branches of a fern plant or a palm leaf. Research shows a connection between ferning saliva and ovulation.

Mittelschmerz, or middle pain, is a dull and achy or sudden, sharp pain on one side of the lower abdomen that happens in the middle of the menstrual cycle. It typically doesn’t last long and is associated with ovulation.

The problem is, not all people with menstrual cycles experience ovulation pain , and those who do may not feel it every month. Plus, other conditions can cause abdominal aches and pains such as gas or an upset stomach. So, while mittelschmerz could be a sign that an egg has just burst out of the ovary, it’s not necessarily reliable.

Trying to conceive can be exciting, but it can also get stressful, especially if it's been a few months. Be sure to care for your physical and mental health this week.

Eating well, engaging in regular exercise, and getting enough sleep can help you feel good and fight off stress. It can also put you on the right path to maintain a healthy weight and stay within the recommended guidelines for weight gain during your future pregnancy.

Start or continue taking folic acid or a prenatal vitamin to get all the nutrients you need to stay healthy during pregnancy and help prevent health issues for you and your child-to-be.

Typical everyday stress isn't likely to interfere with getting or staying pregnant. But, high levels of stress and the pressure of trying to conceive may negatively affect fertility.

"We do know that stress can lower sex drive and lead to difficulty sleeping, which can hinder the 'getting-pregnant process,' but normal everyday stressors rarely cause any long-term fertility problems or impact pregnancy.”

You can try to keep stress under control by practicing relaxation techniques, meditating, taking a walk, or spending time with friends. If you find yourself overly stressed or anxious, you can talk to your doctor or a mental health specialist.

Try to keep sex an enjoyable experience between you and your partner. Sometimes when too much focus is placed on the goal rather than each other, it can seem more like a job.

Partners should participate in all aspects of pregnancy. They should provide support, encouragement, and, well, partnership. The two of you are in this together, after all.

But, week 2 brings a partner's most important role. It takes an egg and a sperm for this production to continue, so this week, your partner is on.

Trying to conceive can be an exciting time, at first. But, when it doesn't happen in the first few months, it can turn stressful. When sexual encounters that were once spontaneous, romantic, and fun are replaced with fertility charts, ovulation kits, and on-demand sex to make a baby, it can be difficult and strain your relationship.

As you make your way through baby-making sex this week, try to take some time to connect and focus on each other rather than the task at hand.

Many couples use a lubricant during intercourse for both comfort and pleasure. It may be especially helpful for those having sex more frequently than usual while trying to conceive.

If you use one, keep in mind that commercial lubricants can affect sperm and their mobility. When trying to conceive, it's a good idea to use fertility-friendly lubricants .

You may be thinking about using ovulation predictor tests and strips to help you identify your most fertile days. Other products to help maximize your fertility and fertile window may also be on your mind this week.

A day or so before ovulation, the luteinizing hormone (LH) rises in your body. Ovulation predicting strips, tests, and kits detect the surge of LH to alert you that you'll ovulate soon. Timing intercourse with a positive ovulation test can help maximize your chances of pregnancy.

You may be looking for a fertility-friendly lubricant to aid sperm in moving toward the egg rather than kill them. Or perhaps, you'd like a fertility calendar that can track everything from ovulation, implantation, and when to take a pregnancy test through the milestones of the next nine months. While you don't need all the fertility-related products out there to conceive, finding what works for you can make the process a little easier.

With ovulation on the way this week, the main goals are having sex and getting that egg fertilized. A few things to consider are timing sex and the actual chances of getting pregnant this cycle.

It's best to assume that you can get pregnant at any time during your cycle if you have unprotected sex, especially if you have irregular periods. However, when you're trying to conceive, you're more likely to achieve your goal if you time sex when you're most fertile .

Healthy sperm can remain in your cervical mucus for up to five days, so your fertile window is approximately six days long—the day of ovulation and the five days leading up to it. However, your peak fertility window is probably the two days before you ovulate, as well as the actual day of ovulation.

For those with a regular 28-day cycle, your most fertile time is likely day 12 through day 14. If you tend to have longer cycles, you may ovulate later in the cycle. With shorter cycles, you could ovulate earlier.

Some couples conceive the first month they try. But, for many others, it can take longer.

It's disappointing when you're ready and make the plan to start your family only to find that it doesn't happen right away. However, it's important to remember that for healthy couples under 35, it can take up to a year to get pregnant .

“Under normal circumstances, the odds of a couple getting pregnant during any given month is only 20%. It’s so important to remember that getting pregnant takes time."

In each cycle, healthy couples under age 35 have about a 20% chance of pregnancy. That means about 80% of couples will have t
