Second Trimester: Weeks 13 and 14

So... I know that I mentioned posting my weekly symptoms but as you can see by the title (and photo above), I am already behind! Where did the time go?? Anyway, I just decided that for this post, I would combine the symptoms of weeks 13 and 14.

The start of my Second Trimester was not as kind as I thought it would be! But eventually I learned how to manage most of my symptoms. I am currently 15 weeks along so below are my symptoms from the last 2 weeks...

* sore boobs

* sleepiness

* dry skin (specifically in one place above the waist... that's all I will say lol)

* headaches (just week 13)

* nausea (typically when I didn't eat fast enough for baby lol)

* swollen gums

* indigestion (started during week 14)

* itchy tummy

* dizziness (week 14)

* quickening
(during my last doctor's appointment just before 12 weeks, I found out that I have an anterior placenta- that means that the placenta is attached to the front of my abdomen and therefore creates like a cushion between baby and myself... they said I probably wouldn't feel movement until much later on in my pregnancy but I know I felt a couple of flutters during week 14)

Thankfully, my list of symptoms is not as intense as it was during my first trimester. Hopefully that means this truly will be the easier trimester. My next symptoms post will be for weeks 15 and 16; it seems to be better to just combine the weeks since there doesn't seem to be too much happening.

See you on the next post!
