Symptoms, Part 2

Again, according to What to Expect When You're Expecting, here are the common symptoms of the second trimester:
  • Fatigue - rarely
  • Decreasing urinary frequency - no, quite the opposite
  • Decrease in nausea - never had any to speak of
  • Heartburn - once, maybe
  • Headaches - no
  • Faintness or dizziness - just once
  • Nasal congestion and nosebleeds - yes, by far the most annoying symptom
  • Sensitive gums - slightly
  • Increased appetite - more like an urgent need to eat, then the ability to only take five bites before feeling full
  • Swelling of feet/ankles/hands/face - no
  • Varicose veins - no
  • Fetal movement - yes, lots
  • More energy - not noticeably
  • Achiness in abdomen or back - occasionally
  • Leg cramps - one so far
  • Skin color changes - no
  • Protruding navel - not yet, but my umbilical cord finally fell off, only thirty-one years behind schedule
  • Itchy abdomen - once in a while
  • Stretch marks - none so far
  • Others that will not be discussed on the Internet - yes
