Your abdomen may be hurting frequently, because your uterus is stretching more and more. Decrease your intake of chocolate and highly spiced foods (pepper, seasoning cubes, others) as well as fried foods and fats. Remember cereals with high fibre content and without sugar, which provide you with all the vitamins and minerals necessary for the better growth of your baby
