Let's talk 2nd trimester feelings!

How is everyone feeling or not feeling?

I'm nervous since I haven't seen baby in almost a month, I'm starting to feel "less" pregnant although the abdomen is revealing otherwise. I'm down about 3 pounds but I attribute this to cutting out sugary drinks/alcohol. I've got dark nips that look like they are giant brown stop signs on the veiny roadmaps formerly known as my boobs. Also I've got a small off center linea nigra.

I am only 11 weeks and I haven't felt sick for a week or so. I did have some really bad heartbur a few days ago but that was about it. My symptoms seemed to have gone away. I still pee all the time but that is about it. I am still tired as well but maybe not as tired as I was.

I still have a couple weeks till 2nd tri, but things are starting to look up, and I am feeling a little better. Mornings and nights are still rough but the middle of the day i seem to be getting better!

Depending on guidelines (as they seem to be all over the place), I could be considered in my 2nd trimester now-but I will think so when I am 13 weeks. I totally understand your feelings of nervousness! I have my 12 week appointment tomorrow and hope to at least hear the heartbeat. I am waiting util after this appointment to make our announcement on facebook, etc. I havent lost any weight; I am actually up about 10 pounds! But everyone experiences pregnancy differently and my doctor doesnt seem concered. (I blame the constant snacking to fight of nausea).

Overall, I am just feeling really anxious. I have concerns everything, but am trying to keep my cool. My acne makes me look absolutely gorgeous (which reminds me that I am lucky to be married to a man who thinks I am beautiful regardless....right...!?! Ha). And I am beginning to notice my belly taking more of a round shape rather than the flub it was looking like the 12 weeks prior. I cannot WAIT to get an official bump! OMG-boobs...mine look like theyre a vampires dream with all the veins...and I have morse code on my nips...which when my husband tries to read I yell at him because theyre so sore. Yay. And I have random RLP already. Woo-hoo.

I am looking forward to what is supposed to be the most joyful trimester of pregnancy...hopefully.

Def. feeling somewhat better now that I am 11 weeks. Last time I got sick was 3 days ago so thats good, only on-and-off nausea since then. I am down 7 lbs. No linea nigra for me, last time I didn't get it. Still peeing all the time and only wanting to eat carbs, but I still feel full all the time. I was like that my entire pregnancy last time. I eat about 1/3 of what I used to eat because I feel so stuffed immediately! Not complaining about that because it helps keep my cravings low.

I am 2nd tri now, but it's taking some getting used to! lol

Right now, I feel a lot more energetic and m/s has gone. But it has been replaced with lovely heartburn. I had such a hard time with food aversions in first tri, and now I can't even enjoy a lot of the foods I DO still like: spicy, acidic, coffee, chocolate and tomato sauce. So that limits my options even more. I was dying for Kung Pao the other night (before my heartburn started to kick in) and realized that Kung Pao is NOT my friend anymore.

I had my NT scan a couple of weeks ago and baby looked great and results were great. However, I am still nervous that everything is not ok since:

1. I was sick last week and lost a couple of lbs (and bloat) and what looked like my bump has lessened now.

2. I won't see the baby again until March 2nd for our fetal anatomy scan and since I can't see it, it is hard to imagine it is there when I can't feel it moving yet.

3. As for other PG 2nd tri symptoms, I don't have many, no dark nips, no linea negra  etc. Just this lovely heartburn. So that makes me nervous too.

I have an OB appt next week and hopefully I will hear the hb again loud and clear to ease my mind. We are waiting until that appt is over to officially announce to the rest of our friends and family.

But yes, I am in the same boat with you girls, since I don't "feel" much right now, I am nervous, even though I'm sure everything is just fine.

I'm feeling pretty good. VERY tired, but eating is back to normal. My jeans are starting to get tight, and I feel like I have less room in my stomach... maybe because the ute is pushing up against it? When my bladder is full (particularly in the morning, when I'm lying down) my bump is pretty significant. I always make DH rub it cause it goes away as soon as I pee! I feel like I'm going to "pop" any day now though!

I've gained 3 pounds so far, which I'm ok with. I definitely need to go bra shopping this weekend, as I've gone up at least 2 sizes. It's not easy finding cute 34DD bras (that aren't crazy pushup Vic Secrets), FYI! My nips are also out of control... they are always "on point".

I am not sick all day every day anymore!!! Soooo happy for this! Stuff still makes me gag alot which still sometimes leads to puking but I still feel 100x better. I now seem to get dizzy some but its alright. I am hungry a lot more which is amazing because I lost 25lbs in my first tri. My nips are also getting a lot darker.

I still don't feel pregnant. I've finally told everyone, but it still doesn't feel real. I am still extremely tired but I never got sick (and I'm thankful for that). Looking forward to my 2nd tri baby bump!

I am feeling better except for being tired. I still feel exhausted all the time, but I have alwasy had isomnia problems. I was on Ambien but quit taking it when we started trying.... I miss it now! No more nausea, I agree on the boobs, I can't believe these are mine. I wonder if a spray tan would make them look better, I guess it doesn't matter since DH is the only one who has to see them haha. I have never had acne in my life, thats a factor for me too. Hoping 2nd Trimester brings me more energy!

My energy has come back a little, no more nausea unless I'm really hungry. I have sciatic nerve pain and pelvic soreness, I know, I didn't think that happened this early. Now that my energy is coming back, hopefully I can walk more. I have headaches and nose congestion. Other than that, I feel great!!

I've been contemplating the spray tan too!

2nd tri is like a dream come true! I haven't been nauseous since I was 8 weeks and the dry heaving has almost completely stopped-only happens when I wake up and right before going to bed. I lost 7lbs during 1st tri and haven't gained any back yet, I know that will change very soon! I definitely have a little bump, it's there all day every day which I'm excited about but I think it's time to go shopping. I have a belly band but it moves around and makes me crazy! Like most of you said, the nipple situation is insane! They are big and always...very pointy! Ha! I have way more energy during the day but still get tired at night and I think my face breakouts are coming to an end! 

 I have another appointment on Monday and we'll schedule our anatomy scan then which I'm do excited about-I'm ready to shop!! Congrats to everyone!
