2nd Trimester
I'm in my 16th week. All the books I have read indicate that this is the easiest one, that your energy picks up, etc. But, I still feel so weak and tired and am constantly getting dizzy spells. I've also been getting really bad headaches and nausea. Ugh!!!
Anyone else not having a second trimester "picnic"?

Re: 2nd Trimester
I thought parts of my second trimester was worse than the 1st even though I wouldn't say horrible - I just thought it wasn't as great....but more around growth spurts. But I did have great days - it went back and forth throughout. for me - it may have been some early signs that I had gestational diabetes. It was never so bad that it stopped me from anything but I often felt worse than I did in the first trimester.

Re: 2nd Trimester
Are you taking any iron? Maybe you're a little anemic? If you had any blood tests recently the doc would know that answer....

Re: 2nd Trimester
A friend of mine who is a nurse just told me she thinks I'm anemic...I'm going to ask my doc about it at my next appt. Thanks.

Re: 2nd Trimester
I didn't have the "energy burst" I kept hearing about when you get into the 2nd trimester. It took me a week or 2 but eventually felt like I had a bit more energy...

Re: 2nd Trimester
The begining of the 2nd trimester was no different then my first.... then I got the enegry burst about 15 or 16 weeks... and as it comes to an end... the fatigue is slowly coming back...
Everyone is different though. try and rest!

Re: 2nd Trimester
I'm almost 22 weeks...I actually do feel a little more energized, however, I don't think this trimester is any better than the first. I now get heartburn from almost everything I eat. My nose is getting wider and some days it really hurts.
