Also...I think I'm just as tired as I was in the first trimester. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-sucky-second-trimester#post-301193 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 12:29:34 +0000 MaisyMay 301193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was pretty unhappy through around week 20. I was getting headaches nearly every day, throwing up morning and night, all sorts of fun. Around 20 it all seemed to get better. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-sucky-second-trimester#post-301036 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 11:01:19 +0000 LuLu Mom 301036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't feel better until 18-19 weeks, if you are only eating one meal a day I would consult your doctor about getting on Zofran. the baby is taking it's nutrients, but leaving you with nothing and hat's not good. I didn't gain weight until 21 weeks, and that was because I was finally keeping food down. After that it really was better! So I think it's a myth that it happens in the beginning, but hit the 1/2 mark and you will hopefully feel a little better. Chock down as much healthy food as you can though so both you and baby benefit! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-sucky-second-trimester#post-300998 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 10:41:10 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 300998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: You've still got time to feel better! I don't remember exactly when it was, but it was like all of a sudden I could look on a menu and order whatever I wanted! I used to get winded going around the block...now I'm fine on long walks. It's really weird. Hopefully a couple more weeks will do it for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-sucky-second-trimester#post-300983 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 10:36:00 +0000 shopaholic 300983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 15 1/2 weeks and I still get those times when I feel suddenly exhausted (i.e. just fell asleep last night w/out finishing what I was doing). My appetite was REALLY lacking in 1st tri. Got a little better starting 10 weeks and 12 weeks. But really still can't handle a lot of good foods. But starting this week 15, I've had more of an appetite/hunger. While foods still don't taste all that good or appetizing to me, I do feel hungry more and trying to eat better to nourish baby. So far, I've not been eating "well" or "healthy". Rather, my thinking is ANYTHING I can eat is better than nothing. lol.<br /> I'm hoping this week or next will be the final turning point where I can finally eat some meats and proteins.<br /> Good luck and hang in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-sucky-second-trimester#post-300937 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 10:17:31 +0000 ladyfingers 300937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Boo, that stinks. I didn't have morning sickness even in the first tri, but I have still been exhausted in the second tri. And I have the added fun of, instead of constantly worrying about a miscarriage, constantly worrying that my increased discharge is actually fluid that I'm leaking. Yay paranoia. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-sucky-second-trimester#post-300915 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 10:07:29 +0000 heffalump 300915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My nausea got better during my second trimester, but my migraines took a little while. About half way through my second trimester those also got better. </p> <p>Hope you start feeling better too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-sucky-second-trimester#post-300815 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 09:10:50 +0000 tororojo 300815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Poor thing! I started feeling better nausea-wise at around 15 weeks...just a couple of days after I posted a thread about it. Maybe you'll have the same luck! I feel your pain though, nausea is the absolute worst. Don't beat yourself up if you don't think you're eating healthy enough--my diet is still kind of questionable, but I do my best to eat some good stuff along with the bad. I don't think the 2nd trimester is all gravy, though--I can't sleep, and I've got hemorrhoids and skin tags, and I'm not quite to 17 weeks yet! The idea of 23 more scares me... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-sucky-second-trimester#post-300807 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 08:57:05 +0000 jedeve 300807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You still have time to feel better!</p> <p>I've had hellacious heartburn in the second trimester - worse than my morning sickness. And it's getting hard to roll over and get out of bed and that kind of thing. But it's been OK. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-sucky-second-trimester#post-300799 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 08:51:38 +0000 Foodnerd81 300799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember my mom telling me how at the end of her 2nd trimester with me, my dad said something about well that was the best trimester, it'll get worse from here, and she burst into tears thinking that was the best it would get! </p> <p>As far as your diet though, everything I've read and heard says that the baby will take what it needs from you. So even if your diet isn't great now, he/she is still pulling the nutrients from you. Fine for the baby, but I guess that won't help you feel better :( Hopefully you will have a turn around soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-sucky-second-trimester#post-300798 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 08:51:14 +0000 wheres_c 300798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My experience has been like @oahujeni<br /> I was sick and had major aversions up to about 20 weeks.<br /> At 28 weeks I only usually throw up once a day, my aversions are mostly gone and I usually feel better once I eat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-sucky-second-trimester#post-300788 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 08:43:49 +0000 Mrsbells 300788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i thnik at 14 weeks its still early to tell how the entire 2nd tri will be, I didnt start feeling better until I was way into the 2nd tri and then other issues such as round ligament pain replaced the nausea </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-sucky-second-trimester#post-300784 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 08:40:01 +0000 littlebug 300784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not having any nausea, but I'm 23 weeks and still not really feeling the "golden trimester." I'm more tired now than I was during the first trimester. And I'm just sore and achy, like, all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-sucky-second-trimester#post-300760 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 08:10:42 +0000 sorrycharlie 300760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes, I definitely did! you don't want to hear my story, though, lol I don't want you to lose hope. I am still sick daily at 39 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-sucky-second-trimester#post-300752 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 08:02:56 +0000 oahujeni 300752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was really nauseous up until 20 weeks. Now I'm 26 and it's starting to come back, but a little different this time. I feel nauseous a few times a day but don't have a major aversion to food like I did before. After I eat I feel better </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-sucky-second-trimester#post-300748 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 07:59:39 +0000 MamaMoose 300748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't stop feeling sick and yucky until about 18 weeks. And it seems to be making a return now that I'm 30 weeks... Awesome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-sucky-second-trimester#post-300740 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 07:51:30 +0000 travelgirl1 300740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember feeling liked I'd been totally jipped by my second trimester - everyone told me I'd get all this energy and I just never did. I stopped throwing up at 16 weeks, but I was on anti-nausea meds and if I didn't take them I knew about it. For me, the third tri has been much easier. Hope you start to feel better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-sucky-second-trimester#post-300728 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 07:35:53 +0000 MamaBehr 300728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember with my first pregnancy, I got to about 15 to 16 weeks and thought "oh wow, I haven't been nauseous for a day or so" and from that point on it got better. The tired gets a little better too, with my second pregnancy I didn't randomly fall asleep on the couch. So, just hang in there! It will get a little better :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-sucky-second-trimester#post-300721 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 07:33:18 +0000 Smurfette 300721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hardly had any sickness at all in the 1st trimester. Now that I am in the 2nd, 14 weeks, it is starting. I am sleeping worse too. Nothing helps me sleep. My restless leg syndrome is a lot worse. </p> <p>I am bummed I thought the 2nd was the honeymoon phase!! Hoping things get better!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-sucky-second-trimester#post-300719 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 07:30:43 +0000 autumnlove 300719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The first few weeks of my 2nd tri were awful because I was permanently nauseous and not gaining much weight. Things improved around 15-16 weeks and the rest of the 2nd tri was pretty smooth. Hope you feel better soon!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-sucky-second-trimester#post-300593 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 23:07:38 +0000 Arden 300593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm also a little worried because a side effect of all this nausea means my diet is... sad.<br /> I only eat one meal a day because that's all I can handle, and even that has to be forced down. My meals also aren't the healthiest or most balanced, because I just have to eat whatever doesn't sound horrifying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-sucky-second-trimester#post-300590 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 22:54:03 +0000 runsyellowlites 300590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I slipped in the grocery store when I was 5 mths and almost did a full split. Needless to say I gave myself pelvic girdle syndrome from the "rapid" abduction and had to see a chiropractor the rest of my pregnancy just to be able to walk. So yea... it got worse. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-sucky-second-trimester#post-300588 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 22:51:35 +0000 mamimami 300588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My nausea got better around 14-15 weeks but I found that whole "improved energy level" thing to be a myth. Especially with my first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-sucky-second-trimester#post-300586 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 22:48:25 +0000 Arden 300586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I kept waiting for my second trimester, but it's here and nothing has gotten better yet. </p> <p>In fact, I think it might be worse. My nausea is SO bad, and exhaustion is still hanging around all day. I had to sit down like four times in the aisle just to get through the grocery store, and carry around bags in case I had to throw up while shopping.</p> <p>At the moment, I'm laying in bed with my sea-bands on and sniffing a bottle of peppermint oil. </p> <p>Maybe it's still early, but I'm getting worried that it will never go away. I'm 14 weeks, and life currently sucks. </p>
