Almost out of first trimester!

natback · February 2015

Time feels like it's dragging by, I am so excited to almost be out of the first trimester! How is everyone else dealing with the wait! This is torture!

LIMomToBe · February 2015

I'm eagerly waiting for my energy to return so that I can enjoy the second trimester! It has been brutal.

pmercedes · February 2015

Less than two weeks like week and a half thank the Lord

irenejean · February 2015

10 weeks today, and counting down till the end of the first trimester! Time IS dragging by, very slowly. I have no tips for you, but I totally feel you.

pregat40 · February 2015

I have a month still but this week I turned a corner, nausea has lifted and I have more energy. Past two days I feel like myself so I am a happy camper..

GingerPop79 · February 2015

I can't wait!

Texascat · February 2015

Ok let's clear this up...is the first trimester over when we hit 13 weeks? After 13 weeks is up, when we hit 14 weeks? Someone fill me in! Haha

natback · February 2015

It's a toss up when it's over I've learned. Basically some say after 12 weeks and some after 13, regardless, when I hit the 12 week mark tomorrow I am celebrating!

twinamato · February 2015

Ughhhh I have a long way to go to get to that 2nd trimester "honeymoon" only 7w4d today!

sadance12 · February 2015

Woohoo! One week to go in the first trimester.

LadyJane083 · February 2015

I'm using the first day of the 14th week as the start of the second trimester. I know it seems like longer than consider 12 weeks, but it's also the first day of spring. That is such a good sign for me.

TIARA0322 · February 2015

I'm 10 weeks and it feels like torture. I'm looking forward to getting out of this first trimester so hopefully the nauteous feeling will subside and I will get my energy back.

dulcineasnicklefritz101 · February 2015

From a first time mom to .an experienced one... is the second trimester really as great as everyone claims? Do you really actually have energy again? I think I've forgotten what it actually feels like to have energy.

iamk4y · February 2015

I hit 12 weeks on Friday whoohoo! Some energy has started to come back already! Only small amounts mind you!
But I'm desperate to go plant some seeds and bulbs in the garden for spring!
First u/s next Monday (23rd) so fingers crossed!

Ps. Happy pancake day lovelies xK

emzrankin · February 2015

First trimester ends on thursday and i cannot wait!! These last few days i have felt so much better so girls, i never thought id see a light at the end of tunnel but it comes!
My scan isnt until a week tomorrow though which makes me sad xx

PreggersinParis · February 2015

I can't wait for t2!!! I'm 8w tomorrow so I have a ways to go... I've never been one to wish days away but these past few weeks have been brutal! Looking forward to a lovely spring! (I want to start eating normally!!)

iamk4y · February 2015

@SassyLass20‌ I'm freaking out too hun! I'm sure we'll both be fine though!

After losing my first, I have nightmares about going to my scan and seeing another dead baby in my tummy. Argh!

It's nice to have this community of lovely people to put me more at ease though x

caityrose · February 2015

I'm excited! I think I'll consider end of 12 weeks the second trimester so 2 weeks for me. I think I might already be getting some energy back! Yay

Yes!!! Second tri is awesome. More energy, feeling human, showing enough to wear cute maternity clothes but not so huge that you're busting out of everything and feeling uncomfortable... finding out the sex, feeling baby move... I could go on and on! Get excited! I don't even like being pregnant that much, but second tri... Yes, please!!

bethb51885 · February 2015

I am 10 weeks 5 days today. My OB said the end of the first tri is the last day of the 13th week so I guess three more weeks. Ugh! Seems like forever!

It's definitely better than the 1st and 3rd trimester but it's not always as amazing as some people make it out to be. I hate to burst anyone's bubble but things like fatigue, ms, etc. often don't go away as soon as you hit 2nd tri. Personally, I'm still feeling pretty awful until like 16w and then it subsides some but comes back again around 26-28 weeks, so a very short honeymoon period. Some people get no honeymoon period and some feel great the whole time. For me, I mainly look forward to 2nd tri because it means a decreased miscarriage risk and you can comfortably talk about being pregnant and don't feel as awkward when you start looking pregnant.

elizafitzgerald · February 2015

Almost there.. I am counting the days until I reach T2. 11w2d today... only 12 more days to go.

crivera919 · February 2015

I can't wait!!!! I'm at 9wks 1 day and as soon as I'm in the 2nd trimester I'm going to start buying everything!!

agiroir · February 2015

I made 12 wks today! I feel like the days are slowly getting more bearable! Me and the hubs didn't get to take a honeymoon when we got married back in November because of my job so we are using the break in hormones to go in a couple of weeks!

excited2bmommy09 · February 2015

I wish I was closer! I'm at 10 weeks today and so anxious to be somewhat out of the danger zone and maybe get some energy back!

vhecke · February 2015

10 weeks and 3 days! So pumped to hit that 12week mark!! Counting down the days!!

lillyzzay · February 2015

I'll be 12 weeks friday!! I keep thinking I'm feeling better, I'll be feeling good for a few days and then the next, I'm completely wiped out again. Hoping to have a more productive second!! Yay!!!

snikai · February 2015

I am 11 weeks and had an OB appt today. He said that my risk of mc is already dramatically lowered and said making it past 18 weeks is the next milestone. So, bad news is that 18 weeks is an eternity from now, good news is that 11 weeks is equivalent to 12 weeks for making it past the first big hurdle!!

Knottie00400192 · February 2015

I'll be 12 weeks on Thursday!!!! Thank you sweet baby Jesus! Lol! I'm hoping my mojo comes back and my energy..I swear I've been exhausted! But so happy the nausea is gone!!! Yaaay!!

seg6394 · February 2015

I went for my 12 week appt today at 11w6d and I'm measuring about 13w2d! My due date moved to late August, but I am oh so excited to be almost officially out of the first tri. So so close! Hang in there everyone and crossing my fingers we all get some energy back soon☺️

KissMeImScottish · February 2015

I have another three weeks in the first trimester and I can't wait for it to be over. I have little to nothing, symptom wise. I feel fine, so it's not that. I just want to be able to breathe a little easier. I've seen a heartbeat at 7+5, but I still am just so paranoid about things going wrong. I know the second trimester isn't a master fix, but I feel like I'll breathe easier when I get to 12 weeks.

pregat40 · February 2015

Yes, 2nd trimester is the best one providing you aren't one of the few ladies who has ms during that time. Its a time where you feel like yourself and aren't too uncomfortable with the growing belly...

mrscate88 · February 2015

Two more weeks!! I've been a little sick and groggy but it could be so much worse so I'm thankful. I'm looking forward to a round belly and feeling baby kick, so that's the main reason I look forward to trimester 2!

shelbydd · February 2015

One more week for me! It's still not feeling totally real, I've not has many symptoms so I'm hopeful 2nd trimester will make this feel more real.

jyoga87 · February 2015

Im 10w3d and I can't wait for the second tri. I need my energy level back !!!!! Thankfully that and constipation have been my only symptoms and I'm hoping by the second trip the fatigue at least will subside.

LoveLee85 · February 2015

Less than a week for me, BUT I still feel normal. My only thing is being exhausted, having sore boobs, and everything smells bad. I have not been sick or nauseous once?! I feel for everyone who has been sick. My sister and mom are in shock since they were both sick for up to 6 months with each pregnancy. They are happy for me but I can tell they are punching me in their minds! Ha!!

All joking aside, I was terrified something was wrong in the first several weeks because I was never sick or nauseous...but my Dr. said I'm just one of the few lucky ones and that my little one was still developing just fine. It was a relief to hear after waiting until my 10 weeks mark for my appointment.

MrsLisaT · February 2015

I'm 12 weeks as of yesterday! For DD, that was the magic number when the nausea went away. I'm still waiting for that to happen. I had it bad yesterday evening!

myjohnsonboys · February 2015

I'll be 12 weeks on Monday. I will say the nausea has improved from all day everyday to occasionally on some days.

kjs08 · February 2015

I'm 12 weeks and was told yesterday that I'm officially in the second trimester! I've been keeping myself busy so the weeks are just flying by at the moment, though I know they'll only go faster when I want mini-me to arrive!

ABombard12 · February 2015

12 weeks tomorrow morning! I feel like 2t is like a holiday I cannot wait for. I am starting to feel a little more focus and energy as each day passes. Again, like others its minimal but that little bit feels like a LOT compared to what I was feeling before. I am still exhausted by the time I get home but I'll take it. Still trying to be a superstar at work before I break the news to the boss..so the extra energy coming back is helping!

adtaylor2015 · February 2015

I'm afraid to get too excited about the 2nd trimester since there's no guarantee the naseau/gross/exhausted feeling will be gone. Fingers crossed though. I'm 10 weeks today.
