Nope....no golden trimester for me. I was sick and exhausted all the way through. I guess I didn't do things like fall asleep sitting up (like I did through most of the first trimester) but I was still way more exhausted than my usual self.

Ha. Nope. I got pregnant this time around when my baby girl turned 9 months. I'm 25wks now and miserable. How will I ever get through labor if I have no energy now?!?! Sigh. I hope your energy comes back! I eventually did stop feeling sleepy allllll the time, so I guess that has helped some.

yes for pregnancy 1 and no for pregnancy 2. Lasted 15-30 weeks for pregnancy 1 with one week of bed rest after a car accident at 23 weeks.

@BakerBee: This.

@Mrs. Blue: I hope so but with two toddlers and work....that will probably deplete your energy burst!

Big hugs!

Uh no, but you know how a twin pregnancy is! I hope you get some 2nd tri bliss this pregnancy - you deserve it!!

With my first, I felt more normal, but I don't think I had more energy. And I've just entered my second trimester with #2 and I still feel tired...

I did! I got over my morning sickness around 14 weeks and had a really nice 2nd tri. I worked out 4 times a week and felt great. I started to feel bad (very heavy, pain getting around) at 33 weeks or so.

Seems like I was very lucky though...!

With #1 I did. I was just complaining to someone about this on my drive to work this morning. I guess it should be expected when you are chasing around a toddler, but darn it, I wish it would happen!

I feel so much better than my 1st trimester but not better than my non-pregnant self!

@BakerBee: HA! That sounds about right.

I did not have a "golden trimester" at all. I did have more energy, but it would be hard to have LESS energy than I did first tri. Around 20 weeks, I did feel like I was able to accomplish more, even if I was still dead tired at the end of the day. So, I guess I technically did have more energy, but I still felt beat by the time it was all said and done.

@Mrs. Blue: yes! At 28 weeks I am absolutely worthless.

By week 20 I finally felt more "normal" and I would say from week 20-32 were the weeks I truly enjoyed being pregnant. But there was no burst of energy for me.

During my first pregnancy, yes! Now during my second (now 33 weeks) I've felt worthless the whole way through!

With my first I woke up the morning of 11w0d and felt fabulous. It lasted until 35ish weeks.
Same thing happened last week with this one. I'm 12w0d and honestly feel amazing.
While I don't have twins I do have an active 17 month old, bought my first house, am running a gut renovation, working full-time, and preparing for a move next month.

Hopefully you get the same energy boost!

I am 18 weeks pregnant and still waiting for the "Wonder Woman" effect. At least I can stay up until 10! After that, I turn into a pumpkin. First trimester, I was so so so exhausted ALL the time. Now, I feel pretty normal until the night time.
