Pregnancy week by week: 15 weeks pregnant
One of the most common 15-week-pregnant symptoms is an increase in vaginal discharge.

Unless it changes texture or odor or you start to feel pain when peeing, there’s nothing to worry about. At 15 weeks, your baby is the size of an apple!

Pregnancy week by week: 16 weeks pregnant
For many moms-to-be, you’ll no longer feel the morning sickness or extreme fatigue. You’ll also be able to sleep better which means you’ll have more energy during the day.
Your belly and just how pregnant you appear will depend on whether or not you’ve been pregnant before as well as your genes. For first-time mothers, it can appear like you’re bloated or just slightly gaining weight. However, if you’ve been pregnant before, a baby bump will probably be visible and so it’s best to announce the happy news.
