Hi everyone, sharing our experiences and supporting one another through this pregnancy journey would be amazing! I'm really looking forward to hearing your stories and connecting with you all during this exciting (and maybe a little scary!) time. Let's get started!
1st trimester: Week 1 - 12 / Symptoms:
- exhaustion: I feel like I could nap all day every day, even when getting ample sleep at night.
- tender/swollen breasts and nipples
- frequent urination and constipation
- mood swings, hormones are wild!
- mild cramping
2nd trimester: Week 13 - 26 / Symptoms:
- the exhaustion lifts, yay! I have so much more energy than the first trimester!
- increased appetite, especially craving fruits and smoothies
- my growing bump is getting noticeable, it's so exciting! (But also sometimes difficult to sleep at night)
- baby kicks start around week 16, they're so adorable!!
What have your experiences been like so far? What symptoms did you encounter in your first and second trimesters? Any funny cravings or weird symptoms that surprised you? I love hearing all the stories!
