2nd trimester wind where are you??

I keep hearing about getting some energy back during the 2nd trimester and Im still waiting...
I guess not falling asleep on the couch by 6pm and making it all the way til 9/10pm is the extent of my energy boost!

Im exhausted! my feet talk to me by the end of the day

Someone actually asked me if I was 5/6 months....Im just hitting 15 weeks

And to top it off I seem to be having trouble shaving already (TMI) and my breast look like road maps and feel like they weigh 20lbs eachh

just had to vent :)

Re: 2nd trimester wind where are you??

i felt a real energy boost at the end of my 14th week. it was like all of a sudden i could walk without dragging my feet, get stuff done, and feel good at the end of the day. that lasted about 3-4 weeks full force then dropped a bit, but was still good. since week 20 though (i'm at 21 now) it's been rapidly going down hill...

Re: 2nd trimester wind where are you??

for me it was around 16 weeks...hang in there

Re: 2nd trimester wind where are you??

the energy boost did kick in for me around 15 weeks... but around 22 weeks it seems like im getting more tired.

Re: 2nd trimester wind where are you??

I got more energy at around 16 weeks. But I do miss going to bed earlier! I was beginning to like it! I do nap though.

Re: 2nd trimester wind where are you??

I got more energy back around 16 weeks. It's also when my nausea started to go away. It was literally like a switch was flipped, I felt THAT different. I couldn't believe it! I am now 17 weeks and still feeling better. I'm hoping this lasts for at least a couple of months because I have a lot to get done in the next 2 months at work. After that, I can drag all I want! Hopefully baby will work with me.
And yes, for me, having more energy is exactly what you said, being able to stay up until 9 instead of 6. The way I see it, I was hardly able to spend time with DH before because I was so sick and exhausted all the time. Now, we get to eat dinner together and hang out together again. It makes me feel like I have a piece of my life back. That alone makes me feel a little better.

I hope you feel better soon!

Mine took a while too, I'd say I felt almost back to normal at 18 weeks...but I could still fall asleep if I was unproductive, sitting on the couch at any time!

Re: 2nd trimester wind where are you??

My energry came back at around 14 or 15 weeks. I still go to bed early but that is because I get up early. But I don't have to come home from work and nap anymore.

Re: 2nd trimester wind where are you??

No sudden burst of energy here either and I'm between 14 and 15 weeks right now. I have a little more energy than I did first trimester, but that is really not saying much since I'm still exhuasted!
