During week 16, you may feel dizzy. The dizziness is often the result of increased levels of hormones and your blood vessels expanding. If you feel dizzy, lie down on your left-side. Drink lots fluids, make sure you're getting enough to eat, and avoid sitting or standing too quickly or standing on your feet for long periods. If your dizziness is affecting your daily activities, or is accompanied by fainting, pain in the abdomen, or vaginal bleeding, talk to your doctor.
Week 16 Of Pregnancy
Your baby has grown substantially by the time you're 4 months pregnant. Your baby now weighs around four ounces and the arms and legs are moving from nervous system responses. Facial muscles develop; during an ultrasound you may see your baby make facial expressions and even hear its heartbeat. Along with your own weight gain, you may experience more sensitivity in your breasts and vagina. Learn more about what to expect in the 16th week of pregnancy with expert advice from Sharecare.
