I’m 22 weeks pregnant and the second trimester has been great…until last week. Before last Wednesday I was feeling awesome, basking in the no MS honeymoon period of the pregnancy and just enjoying being pregnant.

Then it seemed like overnight serious fatigue hit again, my back started hurting, round ligament pain started being ever present and my appetite went away. I was sleeping like a rock but now I’m waking up a bunch because I just can’t get comfortable. Is it normal for stuff like this to just BAM hit basically overnight? I guess I always assumed that it’d be gradual. Is my baby just having a growth spurt and putting extra strain on my body? Did this happen to anybody else?

My bump has definitely grown quite a bit in the past 2 weeks and I’ve been feeling good kicks for almost 2 weeks as well which are changes that I LOVE.
