RE: My Honest "Review" of Pregnancy - Second Trimester
I'm amazed you've had so many votes and no comments!
Second trimester is amazing! Even if you do have some of the side-effects of pregnancy - nearly anything that can be suffered from any illness can be a side-effect of pregnancy after all! But definitely feeling movement is the BEST.
For my first two (boys), I didn't find out the gender until they were born. After that, I wanted to see what they saw - and also wanted any potential feelings of disappointment (another two boys) to be gone before the baby was born.
Well, thank you so much for leaving a comment, I love reading them!
You have four boys?! Amazing!
I'm still enjoying my pregnancy, even though my belly is getting bigger and uncomfortable. Everything is better than those first three months!
I was lucky - very little sickness, even when I changed the menu and had two girls (Yes, I have six in all.) I had other problems though - largely a hip that has still never recovered from having babies. But that pain is worth it. I also had excess fluid with two of them, large babies a couple of times - though my easiest birth was the one who was 9 lbs, 11 oz. He was 3 hours start to finish. I'm short too, but it's the hips that matter, I guess. I wear a size 8.5 shoe (about 42 European size, I think it was.) which (apparently) indicates good hips.
The last month or so is the most tedious - you feel huge, uncomfortable, and simply want to hold the baby in your arms, rather than as a pack. Actually, I cover some of that in the book I'm serializing right now on Steemit! One of my characters is in her final stage of pregnancy!
