Sophie Rose, not everyone switches over automatically at the "magic" second trimester mark. With my first pg it was 20 weeks. This time around I didn't feel great until 30 weeks. But both times I did reach that point where all of a sudden I felt FANTASTIC. But the first part is terrible. Hang in there. Just keep telling yourself that it's worth it in the end and it is. Plus when you start to feel better, feeling terrible is barely a memory. And remember you don't have to do it again if you don't want to ;-) Good luck x
Agreed. I felt like POOOOO til i was about 22 weeks, had morning sickness til about 16 weeks and felt like dying alot of the time. Only in the last few weeks have i had the 'bursts of energy', but only mentally not physically...its annoying cause now my brain is more active and sickness is gone, my feet are caining! and im not even a heavy person and have only put on 3 kgs ( well, 8 kgs actually but lost 4 from morning sickness).

i have said to DP 'no more!!!'
i praise all the women with more than 1 child, i have NO idea how anyone coud be pregnant while looking after a baby/toddler/child. i dont know how my mum did it! she was pg with my sister when i was 4 and my down syndrome brother was 6, i wouldve killed someone! LOL
