I haven't reached bliss stage or baby moving stage yet.

Do feel huge and bloated though, heartburn, on sleeping meds that put me out for all of Friday and Saturday....needless to say I am getting them changed on Thursday when I see my doc!

I am feeling a bit impatient about it though...want to look and feel pregnant finally!

Everyones experiences are so different, amazing isnt it!?

My second tri is good. I dont even feel pregnant! I was releved to see the heart beat today at my checkup to remind me I am actually pregnant!
My 24/7 MS eased at 16 weeks... I only feel slightly off here & there
I dont feel tired and operating fine! No belly yet, slowly starting to pop out, but all of my clothes still fit (scales at docs today said ive lost weight which is ok considering im overweight)
Have felt the baby most nights, giving me a kick or not letting me sleep a certain way!
So yes - I must be one of the lucky ones!

I have loved being pregnant. And as I sit here and reflect on the entire pregnancy I am reminded how much God has blessed me. Not only did we fall pregnant the first time we tried but I have not suffered with anything very badly. A few weeks of morning sickness which was not that bad. The worse part was the dislocated ribs in 2nd Tri, but that has well and truly gone now. A few teary days and other than that I have felt on top of the world. Now I am only 6 days away from meeting our little angel and I am trying to cherish the last few days of being pregnant. Feeling his movements and rubbing and holding him from outside my tummy.

Even though some of us may suffer during pregnancy we must try to remember there are so many women who would gladly endure much more to have the chance to carry a baby full term. We are all blessed. It really is Gods true miracle.

I have LOVED being pregnant and I'm gonna miss it!!! (although we plan on more babies!! YAY)

2nd trimester was certainly the most "comfortable" stage for me as it is for most people. But in saying that, I've loved every stage for different reasons

Being pregnant is such an exciting time (except for my severe heartburn and cankles )
