So I heared a rumour it was easier?
I seem to have a return of neasea it's awful when I first wake up more so in the way of hunger like I have to eat other wise I feel like I'll eat my own arm! It wasn't this bad in tri one for first thing in the morning hunger, I've also threw up twice this trimester which I hadn't done atall in tri 1 and my boobs have become abit sensitive again! Aswell as always being tired and still crying at everything when will it pass? I should maybe be happy about the amount of symptoms I'm getting but I'm still worried SICK about my appt next week when I will hear the heart beat I'm scared they won't find it... Petrified in fact and I just want it over with ! I was always scared before scans and I've had two and both fine but I'm worried that they won't find heart beat coz it's either stopped or because I have a tipped back uterus and I've heared it can make it harder ,, I need some re assurance please !

It's a lie they tell you to get you through the first trimester : ) sorry... I don't know how far along you are but I found things improved around week 18. By week 20 I was feeling better. By week 25 I was up all night sewing curtains for the nursery. Now in week 30 I'm shattered again. It's a small window!

I think the thing to bear in mind with the trimesters is they are approximates, your baby can't count yet and neither can your body :-) so while every matronly type you know has been telling you it'll magically change at week 12 your body is just doing it's own thing. I had terrible HG and migraines through the first tri of my first pg, but they carried on until about week 20, if I'm honest. By week 30 I felt fantastic, glossy hair, neat bump, loads of energy etc etc. by week 35 I was feeling less clever and by week 41 pretty bloody uncomfortable :-)
I'm currently on week 16 of my second pg and am still enjoying the same symptoms as last time round :-) I am taking meds for the hg this time which has helped. I have to say I have also like you experienced a recent sudden increase in nausea and am very tired, possibly there is a hormone surge around this time or something?
In essence what I'm saying is 2nd tri can be lovely, but doesn't always start when you think! There will be a lovely bit to the pg I'm sure!
