Wooohooo!!! Officially in my 2nd trimester! I’m so happy to have made it this far!! Getting extra excited now for bubs arrival! My MS is gone now so trying to be extra careful what I eat as my appetite is back as well!!

Congratulations mrsjr96 on your bfp :) it's normal to feel paranoid and worried about everything, i did in all my 3 pregnancies right up to the 12 week scan, now I'm starting to worry about the anomaly scan I have 3 weeks on Friday, the worry never stops.
Congratulations Kelliria and tryingafteraloss and getting to the second trimester I felt like it was such a milestone :) you must be feeling really pleased.
I have felt terrible all weekend I'm not sure of I have a dreadful cold or hayfever, but I'm so bunged up and snotty, struggling to sleep as I can't breathe well lying down, so it's rubbish xxx

Hi, I'm cautiously joining you. Got a squinter last Tuesday and it's been getting darker, today's dpo16-17.
We've been trying for our first for over 2,5 years, and so far I've had two losses (a blighted ovum w/ d&c @8+ weeks 3/17 and an early mc @5+ weeks 1/18), so I'm kinda paranoid with this one. Really hoping this one will develop into a healthy baby that sticks around. Third time's the charm I haven't had any symptoms so far, but since yesterday boobs are feeling a tiny bit fuller and I have a mildly "funny feeling" in the stomach area. Didn't really have any symptoms in the previous pgs either.

Hi Ramenia, welcome and congratulations :) really sorry to hear about your losses, we will keep everything crossed for you this time around, try and stay positive as hard as it is. I didn't start to get real noticeable symptoms until around 7/8 weeks and then I had terrible nausea from then until 12 weeks xxx

Hi, Ramenia! I went to your page and it is a definite positive! Congratulations! I know how hard it can be after a loss. All the what ifs. You got this though!
Tryingafteraloss, did your due date get changed? I was 14w yesterday (sun) and thought for sure i was a little ahead but we are together now! Are we dd buddies? Dec 9th is mine.

@kelliria my due date is now Dec 10. Was originally Dec 2. We’re within a day of each other! ????????

Ok. I was remembering the week difference but now i think the 10th is coming to mind. But we are a day apart so that is neat. Its neat to see the symptoms and how we are different and alike with them. Heres to the 2nd trimester!

Hi guys,

So I'm 17 weeks now and getting a strange pain at the bottom of my bump, feels like a muscle is all tensed up and won't relax, my bump has also gotten very hard too, is this round ligament pain? It's hard to remember from 5 years ago with my last one. Thanks :) xxx

Lakarmw, sounds like braxton hicks. Your body can have them throughout most of the second half, earlier with second. Round ligament is usually sharper, stabbing pains. I get tgrm if i stretch to hard or turn wrong or cough/sneeze. I got braxton hicks some with dd.

Thanks Kelliria they did cross my mind as I had them regularly from around 28 weeks with my second but 17 weeks seems a little early, still a little achy now but nothing like last night xx
