2nd Trimester

How Do my fellow 16 Weekers Feel?

I was 16 weeks as of Thursday! Yay, So exciting! I had an appointment on Wednesday and the Dr. is very certain we are having a Girl!! A very modest girl I might add, she keeps the umbilical cord between her legs, too cute! 

-Energy is back 

-Super Boobs

-belly is becoming more noticeable!  

-Only had m/s once since 16weeks

Other then this stuff I forget Im preggers sometimes lol. I thought I might have felt a little kick the other day and again today but Im still not sure what it is I could be feeling!  

Re: How Do my fellow 16 Weekers Feel?

  • Energy is back...sometimes

    Boobs are huge. Seriously need new bras.

    Belly just looks like I ate too much lunch or in the words of my sister, 'looks like you drank too many beers' ... I promise I am NOT drinking.

    I keep thinking I feel something...but I think I'm just anxious.

    Felt a little sick this morning but overall alright.

    NO appetite in the morning.

    Usually cravings hit around 3-4 am...

    Cannot sleep to save my life.

     Other than that generally frustrated at the lack of availability of maternity clothes. There wasn't even a full rack of shirts at target, thats all we have in this town. I only have 2 shirts I can wear.

  • My boobs continue to be huge; they were big before pregnancy (roughly 46DDD) but they're much bigger now. No idea what size because I've never had a bra that fits so I'm still wearing my old bras with about the same success as before.

    I still feel a low level of nausea all day every day so I still take Unisom at night for fear of it getting worse if I stop taking it. I'm tired a lot, and my knees are KILLING me, some days to the point where I can't get up off the couch once I'm sitting. No idea if that's pregnancy related, but I haven't had arthritis issues since I was about 16, so 10 years ago.

    I also finally pooped yesterday after about 4 days of constipation! Man, that was a proud moment! 

    I can make out a big difference in my bottom roll of fat, but since I'm so big, I don't look pregnant without a full panel and an empire waisted shirt. Then I look much more pregnant than I really am, but oh well! About a month from now when my uterus is at my belly button I expect that it'll start to change and maybe I'll really show before 30 weeks. 

    I'm still down 8 pounds from my pre pregnancy weight. Nausea kept me from eating more than once a day for many weeks, and now I am just not hungry. I'll get hungry once a day, eat, and then any more food I eat is because I'm forcing myself. I crave almost nothing... oddly, I do crave burritos from Chipotle and Qdoba, for some completely unknown reason. But when I wake up I want NOTHING, but the other day I had a pukefest after taking my morning pills because I didn't eat with them. I felt no hunger at all, but my stomach still got me for it, so I force myself to have a can of vegetable lentil soup every morning. I've also been in love with Trader Joe's sweet tea and their version of V8. Salty but SO good.

    Sounds like Me!! lol I havent been taking naps during the day anymore but at night I sleep like a rock until my hip starts to hurt.  I still do not fit in maternity clothes :( I also look like I just over ate lol

    I enjoyed reading this post!!! lol I too was constipated for a few days finally I got relief!! Before that I was moody and very crampy once I was able to "GO" I felt much better! I too have had morning sickness the entire time, I havent gained any weight at all. This past week has been a great week and I have been keeping more foods down! I have always been very small since I can remember. But my Dr. is worried about my weight so I guess I shouldn't be either still weighing just under 100 lbs. I do not CRAVE ANYTHING at all lol its kinda funny  

  • Energy is slowly starting to come back but I'm still fatigued.

    Boobs are aching/hurting they are growing so fast!  Went from C to D and now the D bras are almost too small... ugh.

    Nausea is completely gone, very thankful for that.  

    I gained 6lbs in the first tri and lost it all.  I'm back to my normal weight.  Not showing hardly at all, just a small bump.  But it is slowly growing...

    I bought a big loose batwing shirt because it was comfy.. but it doesn't fit me like it should fit a pregnant lady haha. And the other shirt I have is a ruched side t-shirt in a small. I bought it because the cut of it could kinda hint a non-pregnant person has a baby bump and I'm SO jealous of all these girls who look pregnant since 14 weeks! :( I don't really except to look pregnant for another 4 weeks or so ... maybe longer. 

  • Energy seems to be a little better, but at night I am ready to crash once I hit the sheets.

    Boobs are sore every so often, seem fuller.

    Belly is definitely starting to show more, I don't just look like I ate too much. 

    Libido is starting to come back.

    Feeling little flutters here and there, it is not gas...doesn't feel the same..

    Can't get enough water!  

    I go to the dr on Wednesday and I am hoping that I can get an u/s. I would love to know what we are having!

  • I feel good. A bit less tired, and the best part is feeling movement! I have been feeling it for about a week now, and today has been particularly strong.

     haha Me too! I got jealous cause my friend who is 10wks looks more pregnant then I do.. Well Its very cool we are due date buddies and sounds like we have a lot in common during our pregnancies!!

    Energy- still sporadic bursts of energy with moments of pure exhaustion, but much better than it was!

    Oh my boobs...I don't know why they have to grow so much since they are big enough for my size and height to begin with. I'm spilling out of my 36 DDDD at the moment...

    My belly is still questionable. I see the little bump that i know is different from just weight gain. I suppose it's a B belly. I look like I ate too much. I also have expanded in my hips ad thighs so that really makes people question if they aren't aware that I'm pregnant yet.

    My nausea started to go away, but I've had m/s yesterday and pretty bad today. I was getting the feeling while vacuuming and had to sit down and breathe deeply (I usually breathe like this when I'm about to vomit). So..I've vomited twice in the past two days. :(

    Still constipated. It's actually my norm even before pregnancy...I'm either constipated or have other digestive difficulties. I think being constipated during pregnancy is more stressful for me though since I've had bleeding and was told constipation can aggravate the cervix.  

    I'm having a hard time finding maternity clothing. I don't have a bump, but I'm getting to where my pants are uncomfortable even with the elastic band trick, so I know I need to start shopping for maternity clothes. I have options locally, so it's either travel or online. If I could get away with wearing yoga pants and leggings at work daily I would be much happier.

    I strongly believe I have felt my baby several times. I know what gas feels like and this is definitely a different feeling. Just makes me smile.

    I'm thankful to be in week 16 and look forward to all that awaits us in the weeks ahead!! I'm just so anxious to meet my baby. I still feel like it's so far away! :) 

     

    Holy Boobs!! haha I went from a B to a D already and I everything I have my boobs look so huge in because my frame is so small so seeing myself with big boobs is a big difference and Im not complaining!! I am going to breast feed anyway so I better get use to these big boobies. I dream about what my baby is going to look like! In my husbands family his dads family they you can tell they are all related and they all look so much a like. But Im my family we all look alike. We both have storng jeans so Im excited to see who our baby looks like!

    Thats very exciting!!! I cant wait until my Husband can start to feel the baby kick!! but he is the only one allowed to touch my belly, I dont like others to touch me lol

     

  • My energy is definitely better and my belly is more noticeable, but it still looks like I've just gained weight.  I don't have a defined baby belly yet.  Unfortunately, I think my boobs are growing again and are a bit sore.  Hopefully, the soreness will go away soon.

    I think I felt a flutter at 15w3d and yesterday (16w5d) I think I felt the baby tapping.  It also felt like the baby was stretching and just held its hand or foot against the side of my uterus for a minute or two before relaxing again.  I'm still not positive that these are the baby yet.

    I'm so excited to feel something that I know for sure is the baby.

  • Me too! I thought I felt something around 15 weeks when I laid down to go to sleep I felt something move and I put my hand on my tummy and it was a hard little lump, and with in 20-30 seconds it had moved and I couldnt feel it again 
  • feel more energy. boobs are getting bigger. yeah, belly is more noticeable too, but it looks more like FAT! occasional retching, but no nausea...WEIRD!

     

    Can't wait to feel the baby KICK! Party!!!




  • I am soooo jealous at so many women saying they have their energy back!  Mine is missing.  Can you help me find it?

    Other than fatigue I am feeling pretty good.  I never had MS (I know, hate me :) ) so that was a nonfactor.  I have some cramping and RLP that I think is directly linked to my massive intake of mexican food :) 

    My belly is def there.  This might be TMI but hubby and I finally did  the deed (first time after a bleeding scare) and it there was def something between us.  haha

    Oh, and I constantly have this weight and warmth around my breasts.  Its weird... OH wait, its just my hubby's hands.  Apparently there is a magnetic pull between my huge boobs and his hands :)

     Bahaha your post Made me literally laugh out loud at the end. My husband is the same way I told him the other day of he held them all day and do te job of my bra his hands would fall off. It's too funny until I asked him if he would be willing to try my breast milk once the baby gets here and he looking at me with a discusted face and said uh no thank you lol

     I think you will start to very soon! All day today I have felt little flutters. And tiny movements it's such an amazing thing!!  

  • This has been a great week! I am noticing that my energy is slowly coming back up. Now I can stay up until 10ish after that I am pooped. My appetite is getting back to normal, meaning it's not on overdrive like it was from 14 to 15 weeks. Overall, I feeling good. We too, just found out we are having a baby boy today! So excited. It was awesome to see him so active and sucking his thumb- by far the most amazing thing I've ever seen! My only little issue, is that my belly is still looking more like I've been overdoing it on the snacks and not really looking like a pregnant belly yet, I am waiting patiently though! :)

    Oh my hubby will prob fight the baby for the boob!  He is very eager to try it... weirdo.  He is reading in one of his daddy books that it is good for breastfeed to put milk on your nipple and let it air dry.  So is adament that I just become a top half nudist for the first year of the childs life.  He is really trying... poor guy. :)

    Well at least hes willing lol. I think it's too cute.  My hubby holds my tummy and talks to the baby and tells the baby that he loves her and can't wait to meet her! I love how in love we all are with our little jelly bean!! Isnt it amazing.  And I like how my body is changing getting ready for the baby!! God is truly amazing how he creates our bodies to prepair for our little ones.  

  • 16 weeks today and I'm usually feeling good in the mornings. But its the night time throwing up that sucks. I've been taking zofran for the last 3 or 4 days after work and especially for the weekends. I will not take one tonight to see how it goes. Other then that energy is slowly coming back I'm still tired in the mornings but I've always been. Boobs....looking the same to me just feel heavy...weird. And like a pp i too look like i ate too much lunch... bleh!
