Positive symptoms

CanadianintheSouth · October 2016

I find myself focusing on the negative side of pregnancy a lot, so let's have a thread of the positive symptoms that you have! For me, I have finally reached that stage where my hair looks fantastic. For the next few months I am going to enjoy these locks because I know it will not last!

Those little kicks and movements before they start digging their toes into your ribs.

The cute sized mid-way belly!

Thanks @CanadianintheSouth for starting this thread. I've had a long, exhausting day of work and need a brighter outlook!

My hair's been looking fantastic the past couple weeks too! From morning's wash all the way to bedtime! By 5PM it's not a greasy mess like it was all first tri (Though to be fair, first tri was during summer).
I'm also loving the growing bump. Sure, my body is uncomfortable as it adapts to it, but I'd rather have the aches that come with it than no sign of growth.
Also, my belly button is *still* an innie. So that's cool.

Lastly, potential movement and the exciting wait to feel it more regularly.

I am also enjoying my less greasy hair and my nails grow so much faster and are really strong! A bigger rack has its positives too

Love the positivity! I have to agree with the lady's above big boobs, little tiny baby kicks, and I am loving the second trimester energy with no m/s

@spartanrd4 oh, now that you mention it, my hair has been less greasy too!! It's so nice washing my hair less!

So true @NurseMama, I'm getting the little cute kicks all the time now, enjoying it before it becomes the not so cute kicks to my ribs while I'm trying to sleep!

@dubcompanion you are most welcome! My nauseous-free day today has allowed me to think positively!

What a great idea for a thread!

I second the sweet little twitchy kicks and good hair.

My milk dried up and magically my son started sleeping 7 hour stretches for the first time in his life.

I know this sounds bad but I like that my DH does more house work. I feel so greatful.... also the ability to drop shit and literally everyone helps u get it.... and strangers generally seem a lot nicer!!!!! I park proudly in "expectant mother" parking spot at the grocery store.... stronger nails... the little flutters in my belly... and now... not waking up before the sun comes up to go to work. Although I'm sure th pay check portion is going to bite my butt soon.

Stronger nails FTW. I haven't broken a nail in weeks and my cuticles are much nicer too.

Finallyhismrs07 · October 2016

The little movements and kicks are amazing..............

alexxapplepiee-2 · October 2016

My hair is even thicker than it was before, my nails are really strong, my boobs look amazing, feeling the little man move and I have an excuse to lay in bed a little later on the weekend if I want too. Plus, sex isn't a bad thing either. Probably the best it's ever been.

gracie4400 · October 2016

I agree with everyone. My nails look fantastic, and hair is thicker and shinier, my boob have definitely perked up, and I am starting to feel little kicks which is one of the most amazing feelings in the world! I guess pregnancy doesn't totally suck

nicklesb · October 2016

That we're only 4 months away lol

EALasagna45 · October 2016

Crazy intense orgasms, FTW. Thanks extra blood flow!

Gators&BoSox · October 2016

I am happy to have a more "normal" pregnancy this time... Last pregnancy I had bleeding the entire time and it was like a 9 month long period lol.

howdthathappen · October 2016

My hair growing faster. I had to cut it due to heat damage and it's been taking forever to grow back.

Starting to feel little movements/kicks.

Ivorytower2 · October 2016

This isn't really a symptom, but I lurve being able to eat all the foods with zero guilt. I mean "it's for the baby" after all.

Yup! 18 wks still really sick. But the sex is great

Ran out of clean comfy bras yesterday and had to put on the push-up bra I had abandoned once my boobs started hurting. Didn't realize until I got to work and went into the bathroom that my cleavage was ENTIRELY inappropriate. I mean- it looked pretty amazing haha- but had to keep wrapping my cardigan over myself all day. Boobs all over the place.

Also my hairbrush is nearly empty- no hairs are shedding when I brush while blow drying. Love it!!
