Mother’s Body
You’ve reached the midway point of your pregnancy in just four weeks. Are you getting enough shut-eye and rest?
During pregnancy, most healthcare experts recommend sleeping on your side.
Sleeping on your stomach at 16 weeks pregnant can be painful,
And specialists believe that resting on your back puts too much strain on the vena cava, the major vessel that returns blood to the heart.
Sleeping on your left side improves circulation, which allows more blood to reach the fetus, uterus, and kidneys.
If you’re still having difficulties finding a comfortable sleeping position,
Try putting a cushion between your knees and using another to support your abdomen.
If you’re still having trouble, go to your doctor.
You may feel your baby move for the first time sometime between now and 20 weeks, or even later.
This is referred to as quickening. But don’t worry if you haven’t picked up on anything yet.
Your baby is still extremely small, and each pregnancy is unique.

Your Symptoms at 16 Weeks Pregnant
Here are some of the symptoms you can be experiencing at 16 weeks pregnant:
The appearance of the skin changes.
You’ve probably heard of the “pregnancy glow,” and now is your chance to experience it!
Pregnant skin can appear flushed and dewy due to increased blood volume in the blood vessels and pregnancy hormones producing increased oil production.
Although many women enjoy the way their skin looks around this time,
It’s also possible to get dark spots known as melasma (which normally vanish after your baby is delivered) or have an acne flare-up.
Wash your face twice a day with a mild cleanser and lukewarm water to help prevent breakouts.
You can also get advice from your doctor or dermatologist.
- Dizziness.
Do you have the sensation that the room is spinning? Some expectant mothers experience dizzy episodes.
Dizziness could be a side effect of pregnancy hormones that cause a change in circulation.
Avoid standing for long amounts of time and stay hydrated.
