2nd Trimester's here!!!! What to expect??

[Mindy314]

So I'm finally out of the first trimester this week!!!! Whow-who! This' already going by so fast :(
so I'm wondering, what changes have you ladies experienced going from your 1st trimester to your 2nd?! How did things change? Did things change?! For the better or worse or about the same til what point?!
Things are changing with me and I'm just curious about everyone elses experiences!!

Wow it "***"'d out sux in it's proper spelling.. And I meant I'm not in! Guess I'm tired :p

Oh wow! I feel almost like a bottomless pit! I'm always kinda hungry but if I let myself actually get hungry I get very nauseous to the point where I don't want to eat but I know that's the only thing that will make me feel better... Unfortunately not much usually sounds good by that point.. And if some just meantions food I start getting hungry :p

Back and hip pains are, well... Pains!!! I can't stand around for too long, doing dishes ***** if in not quick or have a lot to do. Sitting down is the same way.. If I'm in a car for a total of 2 hrs even broken up my back and hip start hurting.. Which isn't good considering our closest family is 1.5hrs away and we're travelling 8hrs to our home state next month! Guess we'll be making a lot of "need to get out and stretch" stops ;p any recommendations to help with the long journey???

I personally got worse. From 13-23 weeks I wanted to curl into a ball and rock in the fetal position. I would eat maybe every three days (nothing stayed down) and when I did it was crackers or toast.

I stopped puking at four months. I stopped feeling so tired all the time in the 2nd but the ligament pain in the hips started. Also needing to pee less, better skin, shining nails and hair!  I felt like a million bucks and i wasn't showing or gaining much weight so it was easy to move around. Now I'm in my 3rd and I'm nauseated a lot and super tired and i feel like a beached whale can't pick things up off the floor anymore lol

[Mindy314]

I'm not peeing any more than I normally do durring the day, maybe a little less than normal actually... But once I go to bed I'm up like every 30min!!! It's driving me crazy because I'm not getting any good sleep :(

there are only 3 trimesters by the way. im 23 weeks 1day. i pee so often it feels like i should live in there but she's really low too which is probably the cause. i have horrible heartburn all the time though.

Oh i didn't have the urge to pee as much either but now it's coming on like I need to pee all day !!

I'm 4days away from 4th trimester, n my morning sickness went wasn't bloated half as much! I can't say the tirdness let up cos for me it didnt, hip n back pain started to get worse lol! But it's nice to feel the movements makes it seem more real!!

I am currently just over 15 wks so not far ahead of you. My nausea has eased up some and my having to pee so often has also eased up some. Those are the only real changes I have noticed. I get really sick in pregnancy and throw up non stop so take meds so I can finally decrease those now.
