Your Pregnancy - 2nd Trimester Summary
 
FIRST TRIMESTERSECOND TRIMESTERTHIRD TRIMESTER
 
Your Second Trimester
 
Welcome to your second trimester where (in most cases) the sore breasts, nausea, and constant urge to pee of first trimester abate and your energy returns--albeit temporarily! In their place, you may notice these symptoms for the first time:

  • Shortness of breath
  • Pain in your abdomen, groin, and thighs
  • Stretch Marks
  • Backache
  • Skin Changes
Your belly will also noticeably expand, you'll feel your baby move for the first time, and have your first glimpse through an ultrasound. Amniocentesis and other birth defect screenings (if you choose to have them) are also usually scheduled during the second trimester.
