Who's with me in the 2nd trimester?!

[miranda]

I'm 13 weeks today!!!! I'm pretty sure that officially puts me in the 2nd trimester! I am stoked. I still throw up almost every morning but then I feel fine. I've also got a lot more energy.

Who else is on their way across the trimester divide?

[miranda]

You know, I was thinking about this. I expect I have to actually COMPLETE month 3 before I get to say I'm in the 2nd trimester, huh? Now I feel silly. It's like saying that a normal term pregnancy is 9 months, that always led me to believe (before I had kids) that once you got to 9 months i.e. 36 weeks you would be due. To me 40 weeks is 10 months.

Okay, now I'm just rambling. Sorry for making a silly, confused post. I guess I've got a few more weeks to go.

wish i was with you...10w1d today...another day down...not too many to go!
congrats on starting the next phase!

[Basylica]

i'm 14w today, but it seems longer, I got a pos HPT 8 days before my period was expected! eep!

[LizaBear]

I'll hit 13 weeks the middle of next week, so pretty much there.

Already feeling better though - the constant exhaustion is starting to pass.

[She2dancer]

I'm 12w2d - not quite, but almost there! I too am feeling better. Not quite as exhausted and I am starting to catch up on housework I have let slide by over the past 4 exhausting weeks.....

Can't wait for that 2nd trimester mark!

13 weeks 4 days here thank goodness. I am feeling a bit more functional this week too. Been able to cook a bit and not throwing up all day Yay! It makes all the difference in everything to feel a bit better.

I'm 14w today and my belly suddenly popped! I'm a little embarrassed to "only" be 14 weeks along, but here we are! I look pregnant.

I'm 13w2d today.... I'm right there with you in the 2nd tri... but I keep reading that the 2nd tri is from wks 14 - 28 not after 12..... I agree with you Miranda, if you go by 4 week months (which most of them are) you are technically pg for 10 months, but they say 9... When people ask me how far along I am, I always say weeks, not 3 months or 2 months or whatever... OK now I'm rambling...

[Sophiasmomma]

im 14 wks and 3 days but whos counting right

[momma2girls]

I'm 13 weeks also! I always go by weeks never by months b/c I get confused. 40 weeks is 10 months! Weeks makes more sense to me. Now as for trimester I don't remember when the cutoff is. According to my calculator 40 divided by 3 is 13.33. So we are starting our second trimester!

My belly has popped too! I'm am starting to sorta poke through my scrubs and if I wear a not as loose shirt at home you can really tell.

Yep, in the second trimester too. I have a little belly but I can still wear all my old clothes since my jeans and stuff are either low rise or baggy.

[riversong]

I'm in the 2nd trimester, too! I'm 14wks, 4 days today. I'm technically due in late November, but I like it here in the December ddc.

I agree that months are too confusing. I always go by weeks except when I'm talking to someone who gives me a blank look when I tell them in weeks how far along I am.

Varney's Midwifery (a textbook I have from a short stint in midwifery school) says, "The second trimester, 15 weeks long, includes weeks 13 through 27 by gestational age based on the LMP." So, once you have completed your 12th week, you are in the second trimester! I know I am a nerd.

[miranda]

Well, I'm glad to hear that I wasn't deluding myself thinking that I'm in the second trimester, when I really wasn't. I was right after all. It feels good. I'm pretty much only weraing maternity clothes when I leave the house now. I figure, what the heck. I can still wear my sweats around the house, but I don't think for much longer.

[miranda]

Double post, sorry.

[mary3mama]

I'll be there with you in about a week.

13 weeks is considered the beginning of 2nd Tri, from what I'm reading (and I'm sticking to it. )

My body has already started that transition though, almost no nausea, few food aversions, more energy. Plus there's the protuding belly 'bump' and getting up to pee several times a night already.

[earthgirl]

I'll be 15 weeks on Wed. So far I've gained ZERO pounds. Also, I was feeling like myself again, but I think my m/s returned.

[Noniegrace]

I am 13w 2d today. I am feeling better. It used to be that I threw up 4 or 5 times a day...now I've thrown up twice since Thursday. I do have a *bit* more energy, and it seems to be increasing. I am still down about 4 pounds. I know I had gained a bunch by this point with Ainsley, so I am hopeful I won't gain as much (44 lbs) as I gained with her.

[Fluffhead]

It blows we cant have tickers in our siggies here at MDC....thats the only way i can keep track of where I am at. LOL so I am 12 weeks and 2 days....another few days and Im on the 2nd trimester train with ya'll!

[NWmt_mama]

Yah! Today marks the second trimester for me! I am so excited!! Even though I have been getting sick every morning for the past 5 wks, I still have managed to gain weight (probably too much ) I am so happy. Feeling more energetic, too!
