Your 19 Weeks Pregnant Symptoms.

Hip pain: If hip pain bothers you at night, try sleeping on your side with a pillow between your knees. Those giant body pillows might seem big and dorky, but we can’t sing the praises of them enough especially if you’re 19 weeks pregnant with twins. Cave in and get one.

Dizziness or lightheadedness: Lightheadedness during pregnancy can happen because your growing uterus puts pressure on your blood vessels. Plus, the baby is crowding your lungs, so there’s less oxygen for you! But there are other things that contribute to lightheadedness, including dehydration and hunger, so take care of yourself and eat and drink regularly! If you find yourself getting dizzy or lightheaded often, your doctor may want to check you for anemia and/or preeclampsia.

Abdominal aches and pains: Round ligament pain is that discomfort in your lower 19 week pregnant belly. It’s caused by your muscles stretching to accommodate the baby. Let your doctor know if any ache or pain concerns you, but as long it’s not intense or accompanied by other symptoms, these are just growing pains.

Leg cramps: Cramps can be a sign of dehydration, so you know what to do, drink plenty of water.

Keep in mind that other symptoms described on any of my previous posts might still be present.
