How are you feeling at 17 weeks?

I don't know anyone else who's pregnant and just wondered how everyone else was feeling at 17 weeks? I've got the odd belly twinge and dry retching in place of morning sickness.

No flutters yet (although my husband swears he can hear the baby when he listens to my belly 😂). Still no mad cravings either - nothing consistent, at any rate.

I'm feeling a bit suspicious of how much better I feel. Trying not to overthink this but think it would be more reassuring if I had stronger symptoms again! Although the first trimester was awful. 💀

Congratuations!You're in the sweet spot at the moment - try and enjoy it! I must admit not pregnant right now but was shocked in the change from the first trimester x

I'm 17 weeks (18 weeks tomorrow) and trying to enjoy the fact that this is the "nice" bit of pregnancy. Also get some discomfort now and again, mainly when I need the toilet or have been sitting in one position for too long though! No flutters here either. I did get to hear the heartbeat at my 16 week appointment which I know isn't the norm everywhere which was reassuring, as is the fact that people are starting to notice that I've got a little bump.
