To get into to your 2nd trimester and just not feel as pregnant? Am 15+2 and most, if not all of the symptoms I had, have gone. Am not feeling sicky, my boobs don't hurt anymore, my appetite is back to normal and I haven't put on any more weight in the last three weeks. Scan at 12 weeks showed happy healthy baby but am a diabetic and a born worrier {confused] and now am beginning to get concerned especially when you read about people having mmc at 14 weeks Sad and the thread on BV, which I have had symptoms off recently. I see my midwife and diabetes nurse tomorrow so will ask them but I wondered what other ladies' experiences were of 2nd trimester.

You are supposed to feel better in your second trimester. Your hormone levels aren't increasing so rapidly. But worry is not good for you or the baby so call the midwife if you feel you need to.

Yeah, I think it's normal.

Like moobaa says, you're supposed to feel better in your second trimester.

The morning sickness has usually gone, the breast tenderness is usually a bit better, the tiredness isn't as bad, and you're not yet feeling like a beached whale.

Enjoy it while you can Smile

I'm 15w5d and know exactly what you mean! No symptoms, no weight gain, I almost forgot at times...

Well, I did until yesterday when the kicking began (it's my 2nd so happens early). Now it's wierd because I feel properly pregnant. TBH, it almost feels like a shock cos I felt exactly the same as you (without the worrying Wink) but now I feel 100% preggers. My stomach seems to have grown overnight as well. Shock

STOP READING ABOUT MMCs!!! Step away from google - enjoy the break between nausea and beached whale-ness. Grin

That happened to me, I'm now 21 weeks but from 13 weeks did not feel pregnant at all - all the sickness etc just went away. Fortunately I now have a bit of a bump and can feel a little bit of movement, otherwise I'd be convinced I'd made it all up!!

You'll start getting other pregnancy symptoms in a couple of weeks, which will be reassuring I'm sure!!

I'm jealous! I'm 15+2 today and I still feel like crap, sicky, painful boobs, awful wind. I really want to feel better because I never feel like doing anything except lounging around the house. It's totally pants. :(

I am now 34 weeks and have had hardly any symptoms all the way through (no sickness, weight gain, sore boobs or anything). So I know how you feel. We didn't find out about the baby until I was 23 weeks though!

Only thing I've had is a sore back, severe tiredness and expanding stomach!! Am obv very lucky and grateful for being so well and hope this continues to the end!! But I do have to remind myself that I'm pregnant sometimes! It's easy to forget when he's having a rare moment of silence and stillness!

I felt like that and touch wood now have 2 lovely dc but if you're worried go to docs. I think you feel this way cos the placenta takes over from hormones and you just stop feeling so crappy from morning sickness :)

I don't think I've felt pregnant yet and I'm 26 weeks! I felt weird up until about week 8 then all my symptoms went but the baby was still there happy as anything so try not to worry.
