Anyone else just going into the second trimester?

I'm 13 weeks and very happy to be leaving the first trimester and all its horrible symptoms.

Unfortunately, just as the nausea seems to be settling down and getting more bearable, the gas seems to be becoming a major problem..... i thought it was bad before but, my goodness, I'm literally like a walking trumpet today! (sorry TMI).

I'm back on my food with a vengeance....never mind eating for two, more like eating for a family of 5! I really, really need to start being healthier.

Keep waiting for this 'glow' I've heard about but, as it stands, the only glow I've got going on is from my greasy hair and oily skin.

How is everyone else around the same gestation getting on?

@sel2223 I'm 13 weeks too and today is the first day for ages I've not felt 24/7 nausea! Fingers crossed I'm leaving that behind. Also feel really relieved we can tell everyone now we feel a bit more secure in the pregnancy.

Also eating loads and mostly beige food and waiting for the "glow" hahaa. I usually have really clear skin but hating how many spots I've been getting.

Fingers crossed it gets easier for us from here!

Yep just creeping into second trimester still waiting for scan this week though. Then I feel I can relax. Still got quite a few of the bad symptoms but the sickness has calmed down even if the nausea hasn't yet.

I’m 13+2 and have been feeling soo much better in terms of sickness since last week which is amazing. I’m still vomiting every morning without fail but it’s bile only and as soon as I have breakfast I feel better. I get queasy before bed too but try to force the food to stay in which is working!

But omg the gas! Constantly farting and it doesn’t help that I’m craving beans so am eating beans on toast a lot. DH is being nice and ignoring it though Grin Lots of heartburn too but other than that I feel okay. Very glad to be leaving the 1st trimester behind!

The gas only gets worse !! I'm 32weeks and it's constant can't remember having it do bad In my other pregnancys Confused think it's with the pressure to I'm this far on and haven't Had the glow either and been so unhealthy hopefully yours will come though opFlowers

@JoCF42 fingers crossed that's the nausea coming to an end for you! My skin is the same and I'm feeling really conscious about it, I normally have pretty clear skin but now keep getting big, painful spots on my neck and jaw line!

@cannotmakemymindup yes, I'm waiting for my scan this week too. Got mine on weds so hoping that puts my mind at rest a bit then we can finally make it 'official'

@Annafs sorry you're still vomiting every morning. I don't think I've actually been sick in over a week so fingers crossed that pregnancy 'delight' is now over for me. The gas though, and yes the heartburn! Thank goodness for understanding partners 🙈

@Babyg1995 it gets worse??? Don't tell me that 🙈 I think I'll take off if it gets any worse 😂
Well done on making it to 32 weeks....the end is in sight for you. Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy.
