As my second trimester comes to a close, I find myself getting so excited to meet our little guy in a couple months. But really trying to soak up and enjoy this sweet time.🤍🩵 Are you pregnant right now or have been before? What was the second trimester like for you??

I’m currently 23 weeks pregnant (first pregnancy) and expecting a baby girl ❤ Today I’m feeling a little low on energy but in general I’m feeling fine, I also feel like at the end of the first trimester, my belly seemed to be smaller than it should be but now it’s definitely caught up!! I’ve been enjoying going to the pool and I’m looking forward to starting my prenatal aqua fitness courses next week!!!

Don't let living in the US fool you with how long maternity leave should be. 3 months should be the bare minimum. I wouldn't go back to your usual work load until 6 months honestly, especially if you end up exclusively breastfeeding/pumping.
@The_Apollo_Show6 ай бұрын
It’s 6 months minimum usually here in the UK, most take a year if it’s affordable for them. I had a friend go back after three months as she had a dream job lined up and it was so hard for her. I guess it all depends on your job, but yeah I was very surprised when I first heard what Americans are entitled to it’s not enough time at all.

Mom of three here, I had okay second trimesters. I was so sick with nausea my first pregnancy and it didn't let up until month 6, so the second trimester isn't always the "honeymoon phase" that so many women get to enjoy. Not complaining, it was worth it. It was better with the next two. Even though I am done having children, it's so fun to watch other women get to experience it. It brings back lots of fond memories. Your page turning analogy-so good! Wishing you all the best and enjoying the pregnancy content while you are in this season! Enjoy your time off and get all the sleep you can! Hope it gets better and better!

I live in Germany and here is a maternity leave for one year the standard. Please leave as long as you need, at least 8 weeks. 4 to 6 weeks is not a real maternity leave. In the End, just listen to your intuition for you and your family. I’m so happy for you and your family. ❤

I'm a twin mom of little 2 year old girls. I was tired my whole pregnancy and hungry all the time. I didn't have any nausea all pregnancy, when I did a test I had the same symptoms as when I'm getting my period, but it still felt a bit different, I was feeling hungry instead of craving chocolate. The second trimester I still felt very tired, better then in the first trimester, but I was sleeping and eating so much. Finding out that we were having twins, at 11 weeks (first ultrasound they only saw one baby), I felt like my belly should pop at any moment, but it still took 5 to 6 weeks (my belly showed up during week 16 or 17). My whole pregnancy my belly wasn't very big for twins, it always looked like I was carrying one baby (luckily). I had such a blessed and easy pregnancy, my husband started to laugh sometimes when I said that I was hungry (again). In my second trimester we went to Crete (Greece) for a vacation and it was great. I was fit when I got pregnant and I think that helped so much during pregnancy. I hope you have a great third trimester❤

I'm at 37 weeks with my first, and hearing your description of your journey is very relatable! I kept waiting for the honeymoon faze of the 2nd trimester, and although I experienced a little of it, it wasn't till later in the trimester too. Pregnancy definitely has it's ups and downs, but you were spot on in saying that feeling that little one move around inside getting to see them and hear them at the ultrasounds makes it all worth it! Just wait till Christopher can feel the baby too (if he hasn't already). That is such a sweet highlight! Congratulations on your baby boy! You two are going to be wonderful parents. ☺️

It is such a beautiful, complicated, uncomfortable and amazing time! Can't wait to keep watching you blossom.

For a chiropractor, make sure you look for one that is Webster-certified. Unisom is great for sleep, as well as Natural Calm Magnesium (the Raspberry Lemon flavor is delicious!). The magnesium also helps with things like nausea, cramps (like leg cramps), and constipation.

I have a 3 month old right now, I remember this phase well! I was a lot like you in many of these symptoms. For me the quickening felt like a little goldfish! I also had to pee constantly.. it's counterintuitive but sometimes drinking more water helped me last a little longer between the go's! Fit with Sally pregnancy workout/stretching videos are SO GOOD. I did her sciatic pain stretching vid at least once a week from late 2nd trimester onwards. The heartburn was the worst. Good luck, excited for you. :)

I’ve had three children now and I have to say I’ve experienced postpartum hair loss after each birth, and it’s rough especially since no one warns you about that situation so if you find that after your baby is born in the future and you are loosing hair in clumps don’t be alarmed! It’s totally normal, not the best experience but it happens.

Yep I have stuffy nose and nose bleeds every pregnancy, it’s so annoying 🫠 I’ve never flown while pregnant though so I can’t even imagine that.

I have had terrible heartburn with my babies and didn't like taking tums so often, so I tried a really disgusting method my midwife recommended: drinking a combination of apple cider vinegar and water. It helped majorly not only in the moment but long-term. The quickening is the best. I still vividly remember when I experienced it with my first baby; not so much the other three 😁

You are looking great and I think you handle your pregnancy very well. I have no experience with being pregnant, I never wanted kids because I already was severely depressed when I was a little girl and I never wanted to have the change to pass that on to a child. And leaving KZbin for some time is a really good decision. You just have to take your time with the baby and Christopher to enjoy everything and get used to everything.

Currently at 36 weeks with my first! Second trimester was definitely my favorite time, but I think that was mostly due to being completely miserable the first trimester, and actually up to 17 or 18 weeks with hyperemesis. Even just getting up to shower would make me so sick, so I mostly was just one the couch for 3 months straight. So even though I was super tired, it hardly seemed like anything, now that I could finally eat! I felt my best with 12 (yes, 12!!!) hours of sleep up till the end of the 2nd, when I didn't need quite as much. Now I'm just waiting out the last few weeks!

So relatable!! 🙌 my second trimester was similar, I didn’t feel the “energy” until closer to 20 weeks or so as well. But I also went on summer vacay as a teacher at that point too so I think it helped that I wasn’t on my feet anymore 😂 For me I had super nausea and aversions to food up until 18 weeks. The nausea and heartburn eventually got better but the aversions for sure stayed around, even just the smell of certain foods cooking made me feel sick. I feel like the 2nd trimester I also had more cravings and yes the belly grows so much at that point!! 🥹 I highly recommend a pelvic floor therapist that really was life changing for me having someone not only help me prepare for birth and strength my pelvic floor and body but even postpartum too. I am so glad to hear you are doing well and definitely don’t be afraid to take time for you and your family after baby comes, its just a beautiful time for you and Christopher to bond with the baby and spend time together as a family in the thick of the newborn stage, it’s magical and crazy in all the best ways ♥️♥️

These may be obvious suggestions…but I would recommend being sure to do a lot of frozen meal prep. Yes, friends and family may help and bring food/ meals but if you have your own home cooked meals frozen then it will be just that much longer that you do not have to be doing all the planning , shopping, and making meals. Do as much ahead of time as you reasonably can, the more the better , at least one month worth. Sort of in the same vain…again another way to be sure to give yourself as much time off as possible ( postpartum) and yet perhaps not lose needed income is to prerecord/ edit videos and then just post them further apart during your ‘time off’. I follow some other KZbinrs that do this so they are technically off work but the pre-made videos help bridge the gap. I would think this would greatly help in reducing any stress or pressure one might feel to ‘ go back to work’ sooner than what would really be most ideal. Just some suggestions, you know what can realistically work for yourself. Looking forward to hearing how the final trimester goes. Some videos on this that I would recommend is from Delilah Loeppky (LoeppkysLife) as she somewhat recently ( 2 months ago?) had her 4 th baby and one of her videos/ vlogs ( pre baby) had a lot to do with the meal prep.

I can’t 100% prove it, but I’m almost 100% sure that my use of Tums in my first pregnancy gave me gallbladder stones. (WORST pain I’ve ever experienced- worse than labor and birth). Out of an abundance of concern for you, I would advise to at least look into possible side effects of Tums use and maybe look into other ways to control your heart burn. This second pregnancy of mine, I’ve found that milk and papaya enzymes have helped a LOT. Heartburn is USUALLY the result of not enough acid… so I’ve heard ACV can help a lot of the time too.
