2nd Trimester Dance Party

tj_2 · October 2019

We made it!!!

Here's to hoping all the crazy symptoms ease up and we get back all the energy we lost in the first trimester.

jrouge12 · October 2019

Lol. Looking forward to being here in a few weeks, some of us still have a bit of time in 1st tri! 😁

zaslawlz · October 2019

Yayyyy today is day one for second trimester too! Here's hopefully food adversions leave

lea-v3 · October 2019

Right @jrouge12 ? Kind of jelly at 8w6d over here..

rox7777 · October 2019

I believe second trimester is considered the beginning of 13 weeks if I’m not wrong. Due May 5 and my chart says it starts Oct 29 for me.

Edit: Words

m6agua · October 2019

I think it’s technically 13.33 weeks, but yeah I’ve seen it described as 12, 13, 13.5, or 14 weeks.

Amyface813 · October 2019

I always felt like 2nd tri around 11-12 weeks. (Also, I typed 12nd tri which I believe is defined as the last 12 days of pregnancy.)

zaslawlz · October 2019

I always thought 12 was first trimester too! Having a dance party anyway even if I'm 6 days away.

I found a website that explained it like this.

Development
12 weeks is because that is when it officially changes from Embryo to Fetus.

Gestation
13+3 weeks is because that is 40 divided by 3.

Conception
14+5 This is where you take 38 weeks (amount of time from conception) divided by 3 equal trimesters, which is 12.666. But you go 12.666 weeks from conception, so it is really 14.66 weeks actual.

Then it went on to explain about the trimesters:

First Trimester is all about development from Embryo to Fetus and having the placenta take over.
Second Trimester is all about making it to viability.
Third Trimester is all about development finishing and making it to full term birth.

catem07 · October 2019

I'm going to count it as 13 weeks for me. Which isn't until November 14

tj_2 · October 2019

@zaslawlz thanks for dancing with me so I'm not the only idiot dancing by myself (not that it's ever stopped me).

@m6agua I appreciate that breakdown. Didn't know the first trimester mark was so controversial lol.

I'm counting it as 12 weeks cuz 🤷🏻‍♀️

drkoyya · October 2019

@tj_2 @zaslawlz

I’ll dance with you. I’m at 12 weeks, my appetite & energy are coming back. So much so that I’m actually motivated to go to the gym today. I think that’s a cause for celebration

rox7777 · October 2019

@tj_2 I think 12 weeks is considered 2nd for a lot of people. It is the 3 month mark.

I’m not dancing because I’m 12 weeks tomorrow and still dealing with near constant sickness. But maybe next week. 😂😭

Austenista · October 2019

I'm 3/3 on BMB's having a "serious" discussion about what # week constitutes a trimester. If patterns continue we'll have to discuss what amount of weeks = amount of months at some point. Personally, I say you do you, my friends. If 12w feels right, count it, and if you want to wait to 13w, do it. And if you want to say you're 7 mos pregnant when someone else thinks that many weeks means you're still 6? Also do you. You're not hurting anyone.

Hoping to be 12w next week and cheerfully joining this dance party.

pirateduck · November 2019

I’m reviving this thread as I think a lot more of us are in the second tri now! I’m dancing because this baby is sticking but it’s more like the sloppy dance late night just before the club closes because I’m so freakin sick. I feel that there has been a shift in symptoms, but not for the better, just different. Currently 14+2.

shamrocandroll · November 2019

Ohh yeah I forgot to do my dance last week! 15+1 as of today! Truffle Shuffle time! This is a lot like how I feel these days.

smashley09 · November 2019

I hear ya @pirateduck! Nausea is a lot better, and I’m not as exhausted. But this congestion is so bad at night that I’ve become a mouth breather, and I sleep like shit. And my boobs showed up late to the party. Sooo sore every morning. I was hoping they wouldn’t get too big cause I’m already small frame with large breasts, but they didn’t get the memo. I’m scared I’ll suffocate the poor babe with these beasts!
Currently 14+6.

ruby696 · November 2019

I'm here! I'm too winded to actually dance... feeling a lot like Chunk too, @shamrocandroll!

It got uncomfortable to sleep this week. I mean, I already wasn't sleeping because I have to pee all night and my kids decided to get sick and have bad dreams this week. But now I also can't sleep on my stomach and my back is getting iffy, too. *sigh*

pirateduck · November 2019

@smashley09 I’m with you on the congestion and I’m wondering if that’s actually what’s making my nausea and headaches worse. Ugh. I wanted to ask, you aren’t by chance in CO are you?

rox7777 · November 2019

@pirateduck I’ve lived in South Korea and then the Deep South for three different babies. Very different climates and let me tell you I stay congested during pregnancy. I broke out my humidifier this weekend due to nosebleeds and just dryness all around (cracked lips, sore throat, etc) and it’s helping a lot.

15+3 over here and still pretty blah. Nauseous most days, ultra tired and still getting over a cold. Just bleh. Also acne and insomnia.

Basically me:

heyybritt · November 2019

14 weeks today! And feeling like that picture describes me perfectly too @rox7777 😂

Austenista · November 2019

I forgot to come back too. 14+4 here. Feeling a lot more normal these days.

Linsbins · November 2019

Just hit 14 weeks. Threw up only once today and dh goes, man I’m glad I stayed home today, you’re really sick. I wanted to punch him. This is nothing. But hopefully it’s better from here on out!

Congrats to all all of us making it this far!

@austenista I’m just going with 12 weeks as 3 months and 16 as 4 months this time, not not looking at those stupid charts that divide it as whatever else. Too lazy to save it and look.

smashley09 · November 2019

@pirateduck no, I’m in Ontario Canada

brettanomyces · November 2019

@smashley09 I’m in Ontario too!

lisush · November 2019

14 weeks today and I've been feeling much more like a person the past week or two.

thepretzelchick · November 2019

13 weeks today and didn't have to pop a morning sickness lozenge first thing!

queenklau · November 2019

13 weeks today too! I’ll start counting second trimester this week...don’t care what anyone else says

smashley09 · November 2019

@brettanomyces where abouts? I’m north of the GTA

m6agua · November 2019

I was super busy last week again. 14+4 today!

brettanomyces · November 2019

@smashley09 I’m in Ottawa

sunshinesea22 · November 2019

Officially 14 weeks today, so I’m doing my dance!!! I also danced at 12&13 weeks but now it’s officially 2nd tri no matter how you slice it!

pirateduck · November 2019

Welcome to the party @sunshinesea22 !

mamaj1220 · November 2019

I’m so close to that 14 week mark I can taste it, I need the 2 nd trimester energy boost so bad!

chewie5990 · November 2019

I finally get to join the dance party! 14W today and despite being sick for the last week - I'm feeling pretty darn good!

pirateduck · November 2019

@mamaj1220 I am 15 weeks today, still waiting for that mysterious energy boost, still have insomnia, still nearly falling asleep at my desk at work daily. The symptom changes lately are that I feel my indigestion is less severe/constant and my joints hurt more. Otherwise much the same. We'll see how the next few weeks go.

mamaj1220 · November 2019

@pirateduck with DS once I hit like 16 weeks was when I felt the energy boost and felt human again.

rox7777 · November 2019

@pirateduck 16+2 and I actually managed to clean the whole house today and eat a full meal. First time I’ve done that since I POAS. I think there’s a delayed response to second trimester sometimes. 😂

miss_lynn9 · November 2019

@pirateduck I'm 14+4 and I'm still waiting for that energy boost too.

soprano19 · November 2019

15 weeks today and I feel about 200% better than I have in a while. Hoping and praying this sticks around.

queenklau · November 2019

14+2 today, and will re-join the second trimester dance! Woohoooooii
