Your changing body during pregnancy: why it's beautiful
During pregnancy, your body goes through a huge transformation. From a growing belly to fluctuating hormones and new emotions – everything works together to give your baby the best start.
Some changes you may experience:
-
Your blood volume increases by 30-50% to supply your baby with oxygen and nutrients.
-
Your skin can change: from a healthy glow to pigment spots or dryness.
-
Hormones influence your emotions, but also your hair, nails and energy.
-
Your belly grows at your pace – no two pregnancies are the same, and that's completely normal.
