Second trimester Update.

Updated: Oct 9, 2019

Hi my dear friends now i am in my third trimester of pregnancy and am going to update here about my second trimester of pregnancy ie week 13 to week 27. Right now i am in my 29th week of pregnancy,everything feels surreal.


SYMPTOMS IN MY SECOND TRIMESTER

As you all know i had Hyperemesis Gravidarum,it continued into my second trimester as well and stayed up until 20th to 21st week,i threw up almost daily morning whilst brushing my teeth. So i prevented by not eating anything before brushing my teeth and it kind of worked.

That apart i was sensitive to smell in my first trimester but that kind of vanished,i was able to eat Dal,roti and other stuff which i just could not eat in my first trimester.

Food cravings,i did not have like specific food cravings but i started feeling really hungry,and i did eat quite a lot of small meals,but yeah one problem which i had was after i finished eating i would feel little nauseous and it continues even now .

Metallic taste has subsided .

Back pain has started in the ending of second trimester around week 25 and its getting worse each day.

But the best part is baby's kicks,starting around week 14 to 16 i could feel the baby's kicks and the frequency and movements have just increased each day . Sometimes when i talk with baby,baby tends to kick,that makes me feel so happy.Even whenever Sudhama speaks with the baby,baby starts to kick,this is by far the bestest thing about pregnancy.

At week 20 we had fetal anomaly scan ,doctor said everything looks good. And around week 26 i had Glucose tolerance test for Gestational Diabetes. I passed the test and it kind of relieved me .




MATERNITY CLOTHES :

So in second trimester my bump started developing and any pyjamas i started feeling uncomfortable,my parents sent me few Nighties back from India so,most of the time i wore those as i am at home now that apart i kept all the clothes which are not fitting me,inside and bought lot of loose pyjamas to go around the home.

As for going out ,i bought two maternity pants,few loose T-Shirts and dresses.Dresses are the most comfortable in pregnancy.





SLEEP :

Sleep is something which has troubled me throughout this pregnancy,and i am having trouble sleeping one one side,as due to that i am having back pain.but its ok,its not such a big deal.


BEST MOMENTS :

For me whenever the baby kicks i feel baby is talking to me so throughout the day i have many best moments .





GENDER :

As we want it to be a surprise ,we are not wanting to know the gender of the baby its just so much more fun and we haven't decided on the name yet,there is another thing as i have my USMLE exam on 29th july,so i have been busy studying for that.


Below are the baby bump pictures from week 26-28.
