 | 2nd Trimester  I'm in my 16th week.  All the books I have read indicate that this is the easiest one, that your energy picks up, etc. But, I still feel so weak and tired and am constantly getting dizzy spells.  I've also been getting really bad headaches and nausea.  Ugh!!!
 Anyone else not having a second trimester "picnic"?

 | Re: 2nd Trimester  I thought parts of my second trimester was worse than the 1st even though I wouldn't say horrible - I just thought it wasn't as great....but more around growth spurts.  But I did have great days - it went back and forth throughout.  for me - it may have been some early signs that I had gestational diabetes.  It was never so bad that it stopped me from anything but I often felt worse than I did in the first trimester. Message edited 7/5/2005 3:38:59 PM. |

 | Re: 2nd Trimester  Are you taking any iron?  Maybe you're a little anemic?  If you had any blood tests recently the doc would know that answer....

		|  | Re: 2nd Trimester  I didn't have the "energy burst" I kept hearing about when you get into the 2nd trimester. It took me a week or 2 but eventually felt like I had a bit more energy... |

 | Re: 2nd Trimester  The begining of the 2nd trimester was no different then my first.... then I got the enegry burst about 15 or 16 weeks... and as it comes to an end... the fatigue is slowly coming back...
 Everyone is different though. try and rest!

 | Re: 2nd Trimester  I'm almost 22 weeks...I actually do feel a little more energized, however, I don't think this trimester is any better than the first.  I now get heartburn from almost everything I eat.  My nose is getting wider and some days it really hurts.   |
