In terms of comfort & discomfort, what are some differences between 1st & 2nd trimester?

Question

For all the ladies who've had their babies or are in your 2nd trimester:

What are some big changes to your body, good or bad, that you noticed between the 2nd trimester and your 1st?

I'm in my first tri and have so many digestive issues and nausea. Just wondering what are some nice things to look forward to in the second. Are there any things completely specific to the 2nd that you don't experience in the first or third? Pleasant or unpleasant?

Answer

I'm still in my first trimester but I remember with my son that the second trimester rocked! No more morning sickness at all. Finally looking pregnant and in the "cute" stage before you get too big. Just some heartburn and having to pee a lot still but overall it's sooo much better than the first trimester

Answer

18 weeks and morning sickness is GONE finally! I had it really bad up until 16 weeks. I have a horrible time sleeping & getting comfortable now and my lower back kills😣 Boobs are growing,more sore and finally putting on some weight.

Answer

I was so tired and cold during my 1st trimester. Turned out my hemoglobin was too low so it was making it so much worse and I was cranky and in a bad mood all the time cuz of it, now I'm in my 2nd trimester I'm not so cranky and I actually feel good.

Answer

I've had a easy almost symptomless pregnancy compared to what most people go through.

First trimester all I had was the terrible bloat discomfort. I hated it but it went away. After 10ish weeks

Second trimester my baby started to grow and round ligament pain was awful. Walking hurt and I always felt stiff. Also had a random insomnia phase.

Third trimester for now, back pain is rearing it's head, I waddle when I walk, but I can't complain. It's painful when I first wake up and standing up from steep low chairs is annoying lol
