2nd Trimester
15-16 weekers come in!
Hey ladies! I always love to hear how other ladies due around the same time are doing! I'm feeling pretty good except this pesky head cold I picked up from my nieces at Christmas. I've been pretty lucky in the m/s department but I do still get waves of nausea from time to time. Weight gain= 7 lbs- yikes! I'm going to blame it on the Christmas fudge and pie! LOL
How is everyone feeling?? Morning sickness sticking around or gone completely? Weight gain?

Re: 15-16 weekers come in!
Ola! I'm feeling great. My energy has increased noticeably, morning sickness is totally gone. I've gained about 7 pounds also, which doesn't concern me too much since at this point with DS I had already gained at least 10.
I'm starting to get mad cravings, too, now that the nausea is gone. I can't get enough of baked potatoes with TONS of sour cream and last night I made DH go get me a bag of marshmellows and fruit Mentos.
Feeling pretty good, I do still get nauseous in the mornings some. I'm really really tired. All.the.time.
I feel little "bumps" every once in awhile. I tell myself it's for sure the baby..lol.
Hey Anna! I am responding b/c I just hit 17 weeks today (so I feel pretty close to 16 still, haha) I am sorry to hear about your head cold. :-( Hopefully it will go away quickly!
Havent had any nausea in a long time. Sometimes if I get too hungry I may feel a little off though. Randomly, today, I have wanted to clean and organize everything in the house! Im about to go run some errands and hopefully remain productive this afternoon. I guess this is that 2nd tri energy boost I have heard about! At my last appt at 14w, I had lost 2 lbs. Eek! Doc didnt seem concerned though, so I am curious to see what I have gained at my next appt in a few weeks. I have had this mad craving for Papa John's pizza, which was finally satisified last night. YUM!

My morning sickness is pretty much gone. The only time that it is still pretty consistant is in the mornings after I eat breakfast, for some reason I always start gagging, but I can usually hold down the food. Other than that I have a lot more energy and am starting to feel baby move.
The frequent urination thing has like quadrupled in the last week and a half. I have to go at least every 30 min. It is really annoying. Has anyone else felt like this so early?
Edit: And I have gained 5lbs, 3 in the last 2 weeks! Yikes!
Wow- 17 weeeks!! That's awesome! Down 2 lbs- I'm jealous. I never went down at all! I guess that's the downside of not having morning sickness- LOL And even tough I just have a huge sub from Penn Station, Papa John's sounds amazing right now! mmmm Glad to hear you're feeling good!
I had a week or so of feeling much better but then a few bad days of m/s after Christmas. I'm still really tired. I hadn't gained any weight as of my last appt shortly before Christmas. I'm SURE that has changed since Christmas. I really enjoyed the food this year.
My ultrasound is Jan 19th - I'm doing it earlyish b/c I'm still trying to decide if I should have an amnio. I'm really excited about it - hoping everything looks healthy and normal and hoping LO cooperates and we can find out the sex. We're not really talking about names (except fake funny ones) or nursery plans until we find out the sex.
I can't say that I've felt my uterus but I haven't really tried that hard either. I felt some little pops last night but I couldn't tell if they were baby or just everything getting moved around
They were only around an inch and half to 2 inches below my belly botton and from what I've read, baby should still be about 3 inches below right now. But I am only 5'2" so I'm sure that makes a difference. 3 inches below my belly bottom is almost my panty line LOL
Hi! :-)
I've gained, total, about 8-10 lbs (it changes after I pee, no joke!) I've had a head cold recently too, and then I read (https://www.whattoexpect.com/pregnancy/your-body/week-16/nasal-stuffiness.aspx) "The mucous membranes of your nose may also start to swell from all the pregnancy hormones circulating in your body, which are also increasing blood flow there. The result? Your nose probably already knows: pregnancy congestion, and possibly even nosebleeds." Crazy!!!
I've never had morning sickness (just all day nausea!). Glad to know you're feeling better! :-)
alo alo! I am feeling great, never had any ms just nausea. Lately though I have been feeling a lot of dizziness and cramping. It may be growth though. I am not sure how much weight I have gained yet! I definitely have a baby bump though.
Hey ladies -
I am in the minority and still have morning sickness...I'm still taking the Zofran and hoping that this week I'll be able to ease off. My skin is getting a tiny bit better...meaning I look like I might be finally reaching puberty, not so much stuck in the 8th-grade-hell-acne I've been hit with! I still get pretty tired in the afternoons...though that may have to do with LO #1. I have felt the baby move a couple of times. It feels like popcorn popping - very cool!
Cheers to everyone!
Hey! I have this head cold also and it seriously sucks!! Like I feel ok during the day but at night and in the morning its horrible!! Nausea is getting better finally yay! I mostly only get it now when I'm hungry and need to eat or if my fiance makes some of his lovely boy noises haha... At my last appt. I was still down 1 pound but thats ok I'm sure it will be up at my next appt. Oh and I can't button my pants anymore
but since I'm small built I doubt I will be able to fit into any maternity pants just yet so I guess its bella bands and rubber bands for me for a while.
Have a great New Years ladies!!
I'm still just feeling so-so...very nauseous, but not throwing up as often. Very confused about how I have managed to gain 7 lbs, even though I've been sick! Probably since all the food I can tolerate are carbs! LOL
I'm super excited that I felt the baby last night! Can't wait to feel again!
I also love hearing how other people who are due around the same time are doing!
My morning sickness has gotten better but not so great that I can stop taking 1/2 a unisom in the morning. I tried to skip it today with unpleasant results! I seem to have the same cold everyone else is getting. I've been trying the neti pot and my dh bought me a humidifier for our bedroom. They seem to have helped a lot! I highly recommend getting a humidifier. I actually slept through the night last night instead of waking up feeling so congested.
I also had my doctor's appt. the other day and heard the heartbeat! It was so great. I had this paranoid feeling that something might be wrong this week so that really helped me feel better. We set up our next two appts. and our big ultrasound is February 9th! I'm starting to really get excited now.
I'm ok. Not so much vomiting as before, but terrible anxiety. I take meds for it, but my head-doctor is kind of a *** about it. That's a story for another day.
I thought I felt the baby last week, but haven't felt him/her since.
I have my monthly appoinment at the end of January and then we'll get the order for the 20 Week u/s and find out what's in there.
I've only gained about 4-5 lbs since finding out at 4 weeks. So, we'll see what happens in the next few weeks.
