The 2nd trimester of my pregnancy FLEW by! Everyone says the 2nd trimester is the “honeymoon period” where you start to feel awesome again and it really is so true! The first week, I had really bad food aversions. Nothing sounded good and everything grossed me out and I was so worried that the 2nd trimester was going to be rough for me. After that first week though, I felt awesome! Everyone says the 2nd trimester is the “honeymoon period” and it really is so true! My energy came back and I really felt like my normal self!
Finding out our baby was a girl was so much fun and I think I was riding that high for so many weeks! Knowing the gender made everything feel so much more real and it was so exciting to be able to start buying things for her!
About to find out the gender at 16 weeks!
20 weeks pregnant – half way done!!
My Second Trimester Must Haves:
App I love: I still love the Ovia app and also occasionally look at The Bump. I love how The Bump has a weekly to do list!
What I’m reading: I started and finished the book Bringing Up Bébé
Pregnancy Journal: My sweet bestie who is pregnant with me got me this Erin Condren journal and it’s so cute inside! I love keeping track of everything happening each week so I will remember all the details from this pregnancy.
I have been religiously using Noodle & Boo Elasticity Oil to prevent stretch marks and it is working so far. I apply it VERY generously at night and in the mornings I have been using Mamma Mio Tummy Rub Stretch Mark Butter. It feels more like lotion and doesn’t get on your clothes the way the oil does.
As my jeans started to not button, the Ingrid and Isabel Bellaband was so helpful!
If you have any pregnancy questions, I am happy to answer! Leave them in the comments or send me an email!
