So it seems like it's been forever and I have accomplished so much. 1st one being getting over my morning sickness, 2nd being making it to my 2nd trimester. I am SUPER excited and looking forward to all that my 2nd trimester has to offer. I hear it should be a breeze but we'll see, my appetite hasn't quite came back yet and i'm not "craving" anything. But the best part is i feel a million times better which is wonderful because I will be moving to Atlanta in exactly one week from today to be with my mommy, sisters, nieces and fiance! Any advice for my 2nd trimester is TRULY appreciated.

    You should get a lot of your energy back! I loved my second trimester. Your belly will start to show, you will start feeling flutters which is baby moving, then harder and harder kicks! You will probably find out the gender if you want to, plan your baby shower towards the end of it, it is a lot of fun hun :) congrats!

    You should have a bit more energy by now, nausea might go away, you'll start feeling little kicks and flutters. You should start to enjoy your pregnancy if you already aren't! I'm 21 weeks and my nausea just started up again but everyone and every pregnancy is different though.

    I love the second trimester you can still travel and you have a lot of energy... I'm working on getting moved as well so this is a good time to do it.

    Massive headaches! And 1st feeling your baby move, and finding out the gender :) But on the bright side those only lasted me a few weeks. Now I feel great! No symptoms anymore, if it wasn't for the baby moving I wouldn't think I was prego still lol
  • 1stTiM3MommY1stTiM3MommY
    aww thanks @sopheebaybee143 & @MrsThompson34!! I feel like i got past 1 milestone. @InLoveee I have been getting those headaches too and they last ALL day. I have NEVER had a headache like that before 1st one was this past saturday i ended up taking 4 tylenols that day and it didn't really help. My morning sickness stopped around 10 or 11 weeks which is great but now my problem is that i don't eat that much. I'm lacking healthy eating for sure but i do take my prenatal vitamins faithfully.. Congrats to you all as well. Lets all keep in touch.

    If you're not already enjoying babies movements, get ready to fall in love :) I was unlucky in that my first trimester royally sucked, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, awful mood swings, no appetite, depression.. the whole nine yards. I was also unlucky because the first trimester nastiness lasted until almost 19w but I was lucky because I started feeling movement right at 15w and my little girl hasn't let me forget about her even for a day since then! My boyfriend felt her 3 nights ago for the first time :)
    My advice though is not to listen to your body and don't force yourself to do anything you don't feel well enough to do, just because youre in your second trimester :)
    Relax and enjoy! Definitely definitely lets stay in touch :)

    Thank @lilbun915 I may have felt my baby moving but i def haven't noticed it or maybe just not knew what it was. I'm looking forward to my 2nd trimester getting a whole lot better then my first as well. I think me and you had almost a lot of the same symptoms in the first trimester. The only thing i didn't have was nausea but i had everything else. i'm so anxious its pretty weird. But I'm going to enjoy being pregnant and enjoy moving out of NY and back to atlanta with my family. Thanks for all your advice I really appreciate it

    @1stTiM3Mommy, I had awful anxiety too! Mine is actually kind of back currently but I have started to notice that everything goes hand in hand.. if I start breaking out pretty bad I can expect the moods and anxiety to come shortly after, it's alllll related to hormones. Oh! Also, I am NOT "glowing" my hair feels unhealthy and brittle and so do my nails :( my little kicker is all that's letting me enjoy this experience! I'm hoping that with better weather will come a little more relaxation too!
  • 1stTiM3MommY1stTiM3MommY
    I agree i actually cut my hair off PRAYING that it would grow back very fast and radiant. I have yet to see any of that. I'm going to give it time thou because if i chopped my hair for no reason i'm going to be angry that i have to go back thru the hair growing for years :-(( that's painful even thinking about it.. Oh my what have i done anywho lets just pray it gets better
