During week number 17 the fetus is rapidly growing and the amniotic fluid around the baby is also increasing so the patient will have drastic increase in weight and stretch marks during week number 18 and 19. The baby's structures are very clear so we can do an ultrasound to visualize the back pain will increase there will be leg cramps and varicose veins during this week the baby is growing stronger and kicking harder during week number 20 the fetus is about 21 centimeters in length. 

the ears as well as the ear canals and the inner ear are fully developed and it can hear muffled sounds from the outside world the genitalia is now fully developed and it can be distinguished by ultrasound so we can easily know the gender .During this time there will be indigestion and heartburn leg cramps swelling of the hands and feet but mainly in the feet and vaginal discharge during week number 21 the uterus finally starts contracting occasionally and this is known as false labor or baraxton hex contracts. 

These are completely normal and you should not be worried about them keep in mind that these are irregular and occur at various times unlike actual contractions of labor which are regular and occur at strict specific times like five or three minutes apart the real contractions are also much stronger there will be more heartburn and indigestion leaking of small amounts of milk from the breasts dry skin and stretch marks. during week number 22 the fetus is growing larger and this causes outward protrusion of the umbilicus so the build button will be everted there will be more stretch marks and more back pain

During week number there will also be more back pain more Braxton hick contracts and more swelling of the hand and feet during week number 24 the baby's eyelids are now separated into upper and lower eyelids and the baby can open its eyes their lungs are also quickly developing and we can see the first signs of breathing maternal symptoms include leg cramps during week number 25 you will have more energy but also more symptoms these include constipation and hemorrhoids frequent urination bloating heartburn and indigestion and of course. 

Increasing the frequency of the false labor contracts week number 26 is the last week of the second trimester and we expect to see trouble sleeping headaches trouble remembering recent events higher blood pressure and more false contracts so that concludes the second trimester and in the next video, we'll talk about the third and final trimester you.
