Feeling Less Pregnant

mkatemsumkatemsu member
in 2nd Trimester
I’m approaching 16 weeks, and I feel less bloated, my digestion is way better than it was the 1st trimester and my bump does not seem quite as big as it was. Is this normal? I still have some symptoms like large breasts, but otherwise I feel pretty normal.i had an ultrasound at 13 weeks and baby was totally fine and healthy but I can’t help but worry bc this is my first pregnancy. The doc said after 13 weeks that the baby is super resilient but i Still worry. Has anyone else experienced this around 16 weeks??

    Congrats! You survived your 1st trimester and the icky bloating a nausea are decreased.  You were never showing or had a bump - you were bloated making it look like you had one. No bloat = no "bump." 

    Enjoy this time, as once you really start showing (for me 27 weeks) there is no turning back and the bowling ball in your belly will only get bigger until you are waddling around waiting for the day baby is born.

    @mkatemsu WSS^ it’s normal to feel pretty good in your second tri. I’m 17 weeks and am the same way. I try not to think about it too much and enjoy this time where I feel good and I'm not super uncomfortable yet.

    @mkatemsu My midwife described it as "all of a sudden the clouds part and you feel normal again".
