I am almost 18 weeks and I think I am starting to embrace that I will feel like doodoo the whole preg. Some days aren't horrible but most are a varying degree of nausea dizziness fatigue and an all over got the flu kinda feeling. Everyone around me is like... Oh u nust feel great now in your second tri.... And I don't want to complainn but this is verrrrry rough at times. To those in second tri who don't feel great... What are u feeling and how r u handling it? Ty v much!!

I'm 18wks and I'm right there with ya, I still feel like crapola!!! I just want one day where i feel great!! Energy, look great, feel great, get a great ghts sleep!! Just one day!!!! My 4yr old DD gets me through the day, I have no choice but to push through for her, dh works nights too so its just me and after dinner were in bed by 8pm watching tv. I also have really bad round ligament pain that crippling me at nighttime, which is due to my previous csection.

I'm with you mama!! I bet you we're both having girls.

Re: to those who feel like doody in their second tri...?

Me!! I had a bad first trimester with tons of naseaus and getting sick with some terrible constipation thrown in. I thought second trimester was gonna be my time to really start enjoying this. Unfortunately im now 22 weeks and have been experiencing what i guess is bad round ligament pain (any other issues ruled out by doc). It's terrible and I'm in pain all day long. I do my best to push through and not complain too much. I think what really helped me a lot was accepting that its ok that this isn't going very easy and just because all of my friends said everything was smooth sailing after first tri, that it may not be for me and that's ok. I think I kept waiting for absolutely no problems and i just kept getting disappointed. Hope that makes sense. Also helps that you posted this and I know I'm not the only one. Thanks.

I am almost 23 weeks and instead of feeling very tired the first tri, I am exhausted now. I haven't been throwing up or anything I just feel like washed out.

Re: to those who feel like doody in their second tri...?

I feel better now (just super exhausted w/round ligament pains), but I felt like real garbage up until 17 1/2 - 18 weeks (nausea/sickness/aches/sleep probs/etc). Thankfully I slowly started feeling better last week & now at 19 weeks I feel A LOT better! I really hope that it's the same for you ladies too

I am 17 weeks and I generally feel crappy most of the day. I get bursts of feeling ok, then back to the usual. Lots of really bad heartburn that then makes me nauseous. Lots of feeling kinda out of it and generally weird, not good. Don't know how else to explain it exactly. I remember feeling much better in my second trimester with my DS, I can only hope I start to feel good soon because I remember very well that around 26 weeks I started feeling like super crap every day with my first. Fun times

I'll be 18 weeks on Saturday. My first trimester was great. I was just tired. Now all of a sudden I am feeling nauseaus, tired, can't sleep at night and have restless legs at night too which doesn't help the whole sleeping thing. This is my first so I thought great no MS in my first trimester this is going to be great-wrong. Now nauseus, dizzy sometimes and jsut feel cr*ppy!

i'm 28 weeks and i'm not "loving" pregnancy if it makes you feel any better...everytime one thing ends something else starts i've had a ton of pregnancy related issues and symptoms but luckily just annoying things and nothing serious....i'm already like how the hell am i going to do this again (b/c i think i'd like at least two close in age)....hang in there and don't feel bad, not everyone feels great
