After the 1st Trimster, does it get better?

Does the nausea and tiredness really go away?

Re: After the 1st Trimster, does it get better?

I just started the 2nd tri and for the most part, yes! I am able to stay up much MUCH later than before. I don't have to rush and eat something first thing in the AM either.

Re: After the 1st Trimster, does it get better?

mine went away at about 21 weeks but yes i feel somewhat normal again

Re: After the 1st Trimster, does it get better?

I'm 14 weeks now and yes the MS went away but I am still tired all of the time...hope that goes away soon!!

Re: After the 1st Trimster, does it get better?

Every pregnancy is different of course, but for me, the m/s lifted at about 11 weeks (I didnt have it too bad though) but it was replaced with heartburn, and the tiredness was gone about 13 weeks. It was great!
Now at almost 28 weeks, I am tired but not quite as tired as the first few weeks!

Enjoy your 2nd trimester, people are right when they say its the best you will feel (at least in my case)

Re: After the 1st Trimster, does it get better?

The morning sickness went away for me at about 14/15 weeks. The tiredness went away at about 19/20.

Re: After the 1st Trimster, does it get better?

YES, YES, YES!!

It didn't happen to me right away...but gradually from 13 weeks to 16 weeks I started feeling better and better. By 17 weeks, I was like my old self again!

Re: After the 1st Trimster, does it get better?

thank you

I have some ways to go I'm only about 6 weeks.

Re: After the 1st Trimster, does it get better?

yes, as soon as the second trimester hit, it was gone...hang in there

Re: After the 1st Trimster, does it get better?

My nausea and tiredness went away after about 4 months. During my first trimester I thought I would never feel better, But I did. The second trimester was much better for me. I didn't feel nauseous and I had so much energy.

Re: After the 1st Trimster, does it get better?

I never was tired but the nausea for me didn't get better

Re: After the 1st Trimster, does it get better?

YES!!!!! much much much better!!!!

Re: After the 1st Trimster, does it get better?

For me the nausea definitely did and the tiredness wasn't as bad, but I was pretty tired my entire first pregnancy.

Re: After the 1st Trimster, does it get better?

It did for me. The exhaustion doesn't go away but it gets better. During my first tri I could barely make it through the work day. Now I don't have that problem and can even get to the gym again a few days a week. I am still tired in the evenings though.

Re: After the 1st Trimster, does it get better?

The nausea definitely gets better. I suffer from insomnia so, for me, the iredness has not gone away.

Re: After the 1st Trimster, does it get better?

I didn't have any morning sickness, but I had extreme fatigue and bloating, I was just always uncomfortable. I am 17 weeks now and it is so much better!!

Re: After the 1st Trimster, does it get better?

YES!! It's amazing, just one day you feel better. So weird.

Re: After the 1st Trimster, does it get better?

I am 14 weeks and feel pretty "normal" again, however I still have MAJOR food aversions and I think its actually gotten worse than in the 1st trimester!!

Re: After the 1st Trimster, does it get better?

Still tired, but feel MUCH better. I'm 19ish weeks.

Re: After the 1st Trimster, does it get better?

I am 9 weeks and SO EXHAUSTED!!!! I have to go to the city for a conference on Friday and I don't think I will make it.

Re: After the 1st Trimster, does it get better?

M/S went away but I am still tired!

Re: After the 1st Trimster, does it get better?

with my first pregnancy it lifted between 18-20 weeks. I am 14 weeks now and there are no signs of lifiting anytime soon. I also have hyperemisis Gravidarum so it lasts longer than average.

Re: After the 1st Trimster, does it get better?

My m/s ended at around 17 or 18 weeks but my tiredness just sort of changed....never went away....I hope you feel better

Re: After the 1st Trimster, does it get better?

Definitely yes!!! Well, everyone is different, but most people seem to do pretty well in the second trimester. My MS vanished around week 14 or 15, and the food aversions and phantom smells began to disappear in the next few weeks.

Most of the 2nd trimester I felt great. Not as good as I do normally, but far far better than the 1st trimester. Even the 3rd has been better for me so far, though it's still early days, I hear this one isn't so hot either.


Hope you feel better soon!
