2. You are as Patient as the Hills!
Sleepless nights, toddler tantrums, work life balance – everything may take you for a toss but you have reserves of patience that are wondrous to the rest of us. Only occasionally does your patience dwindle and woe betide everyone then!
3. You are Connected to Spirituality and Inner Beauty in the World
Fluff, superficiality and material possessions don't delight you as much as your baby's smile, the thought behind the greeting card your tot made for you, and the peace you feel during the rare me-time.
4. You have Terrific Family Values and also Help your Kids Imbibe Them
The Grandpas and Grandmas from both sides of the family are connected thanks to you. Family comes first for you and you are always willing to go the extra mile for them.
5. You're stronger than you know!
Tired out after a long day spent mommying, you still have the strength to greet your kids with a smile, whip up delicious foods, and be all set to repeat the next day. You probably make do with just a few good things you do for yourself, such as a guilty cup of coffee.

8. You are always fair, come what may
Mommy loves her kids a lot but she is never unfair. You know the perfect way to resolve sibling disputes and chocolate is not your sole solution to problems. While there may only be a few appreciating what you have done for other people, trust us when we say you're there in their hearts.
9. You have a fun streak in you that you love to unleash every now and then!
With kids, you often become one too and get your hands and feet dirty in the mud. There is a reason you are their best friend and confidante.

A. Typically, your bump becomes noticeable during your second trimester. Between 16-20 weeks, your body will start showing your baby's growth. For some women, their bump may not be noticeable until the end of the second trimester and even into the third trimester. The second trimester starts in the fourth month.

Start having chilled milk directly from the refrigerator that usually helps a lot in reducing down acidity and anyways when you take so much of medicine in the body gets addicted to it to check with your doctor if you need to do anything or any other medication would be friendly in cases of emergency
