Avatar f tn Also I DID stop vomiting 2nd trimester with my 1st...and briefly during the 2nd trimester with my 2nd, although it came back in the 3rd with #2...but with this pregnancy I've been sick the whole time..again, it just seems to depend.
Avatar f tn Finally at week 13 any other mom's just start their second trimester how are you feeling
1150389 tn?1295559187 Hey all so i'll be 17 weeks tomorrow and i noticed for the past 2 days around the same time (in the evening around 7) i get really really sick!! It's almost worse than the first trimester. I'm not vomitting i just feel like poo! I am not sure if this is normal or if i should call my doctor. Has this happened or is happening to anyone?
Avatar f tn Yes that's normal. I'm 32 weeks pregnant with my second baby and the same thing happens to me every time my husband and I have sex. I've even felt like the baby was going to fall out! I talked to my Dr about it multiple times and she says it's completely normal. I even had some spotting recently which they say is normal too.
Avatar n tn The reason the do not like general anasthesia during pregnancy is becuase there is no way for the dentist to monitor the baby. If the procedure is over and they have checked the baby out and all is well, then I wouldn't worry much about it. The birth control on the other hand can potentially cause problems depending on the type of birth control. The hormones (like estrogen) in certain birth control methods have been known to cause birth defects.
9798995 tn?1407136289 My second trimester was the best one lol. First trimester I threw up 24/7. And third trimester really was not bad, but not as easy as compared to my second trimester. We're all different.
Avatar f tn I have known women who ski during second trimester, though they are admittedly good skiers. My daughter is in Crosssfit with a woman who continued workouts until the last week. It's what your muscles are trained for that counts. The fetus is well protected. Which said, lifting weights requires proper posture and lifting with the legs, not the back. When your bump gets in the way of doing it right, sometime in the third trimester (?), you should ask for help when necessary.
Avatar f tn They come once in a while during the day it comes and goes.. it will last about 15 mins and just leave and come back later in the day. Last week my doctor told me my cervix is closed so I shouldn't be expecting this baby soon right?
5661790 tn?1395604800 If you get Braxton hicks, use them to practice relaxing during contractions. It lessens the pain by a LOT. Look up the Bradley method of childbirth.
Avatar f tn During contractions, the abdomen becomes hard. Between contractions, the uterus relaxes and the abdomen becomes soft. The way a contraction feels is different for each woman, and may feel different from one pregnancy to the next. But labor contractions usually cause discomfort or a dull ache in your back and lower abdomen, along with pressure in the pelvis. Contractions move in a wave-like motion from the top of the uterus to the bottom.
Avatar f tn I stopped spotting at 15 weeks and i was very worried to at first i went to the er twice for the same and they would chrck but nothing then i was told it happens to some women during their first and part of second trimester and i guess its true bc now at 34 weeks my baby boy is perfectly fine and very healthy.
Avatar f tn Which trimester was the hardest to deal with ?
801280 tn?1257175553 right im 16 weeks pregnant today and was looking back at my pregnancy tracker, i have lost loads of wieght during the last two weeks. i put on about 10 lbs in first trimester up to 142 lbs but now i am down to only 127 lbs..... is this ok?? please help me cos im worried but dont want to call my midwife unnecciserily.... its not even like my diet has changed, and im stil eating just as much.
1901977 tn?1333991726 m just looking for encouragement, or maybe some positive stories about bleeding in the second trimester. I started spotting this morning, just really lightly when I wipe...and am kinda freaked out about this. I had some bleeding very early, week 5-6 of the pregnancy, but I'm 21 weeks 3 days now and I haven't seen blood in months. My OB's assistant says just to keep an eye on it, and call back if it gets heavier. Any of you have second trimester spotting and things turn out okay?
268356 tn?1236002604 I had BH early and this is my first... but they didn't hurt then. They're beginning to hurt a bit now tho!
8102917 tn?1402457914 I actually had more energy in my first trimester then my second. Ihit my second and third and I could sleep all day if I let myself. My bodys just not use to all this weight and energy the baby taking from me.lol.
Avatar f tn The third is absolutely the worst !! Contractions, cramps, headaches, charlie horses, cervix pain, getting your cervix checked, constipation, no sleep, frequent bathroom trips and the worst part morning sickness comes back to haunt you.
Avatar f tn This is my first pregnancy and I'm in the second trimester and have been experiencing very painful cramping since before I found out I was pregnant. The doctor had said it was growing pains but should be gone by the end of the first trimester. I'm still having these pains. What could it be?
Avatar f tn I think the farther along in the pregnancy, the harder! My first trimester wad easy! No sickness full energy! My second trimester was good until I got to the 3rd trimester im currently 30+1 weeks and I'm so tired, pee all the time! Can barely get out of bed! Can't bend down and pick stuff up! I actually cried today when I was picking stuff up , because my bf wouldn't! Im done being pregnant!!!
7989976 tn?1403493624 For me though, I have just been soo exhausted! Second trimester i had soo much energy but now its like I barely have any. First trimester i was a bit tired, but third its way more lol. Also, ive been having more of my belly button hurting (which i heard is just the uterus expanding to make room for baby). Those are really the big two i have went through. My acid reflex came back this week (im 33 weeks now).
Avatar f tn ^yeah..I was complaining about just the beginning of a UTI last week at my appointment, the pee test didn't show anything but they still ordered me meds. Turns out I did have one. I'm 36 weeks tomorrow.
Avatar f tn t this bad. And now I have to look forward to it in the second and third trimester too?! Oh NO!
Avatar f tn I went to my doctor a few days ago and he mentioned to not have sex until 8 to 10 weeks because contractions in my uterus could disrupt the umbilical cord attaching. But I havent read this anywhere else and my friend who is 9 weeks on Tuesday (4 weeks ahead of me) went to the same doctor any wend nd he didn't tell her this. So I guess I'm curious if anyone else has been told this?
Avatar f tn I got dehydrated during my second trimester without know until they checked my fluid and it was low. Now drinking as much water as I do, I feel better and my fluid level is back up to normal for baby.
