Currently I'm 35 weeks along. Here is a summary of my second trimester symptoms (weeks 14-28), aka, the trimester that was dominated by moving 500 miles across and 1 mile up.
- Fatigue - more associated with altitude change than pregnancy, I believe
- Decreasing urinary frequency - I think so?
- Decrease in nausea - yes
- Heartburn - started around week 23 and has gotten steadily worse. Many nights spent on couch/chair and Zantac is a new household staple.
- Headaches - no
- Faintness or dizziness - no
- Nasal congestion and nosebleeds - congestion, yes, thankfully no nosebleeds yet
- Sensitive gums - no
- Increased appetite - not really
- Swelling of feet/ankles/hands/face - no
- Varicose veins - no
- Fetal movement - yes, lots - finally - took until about week 26 to feel regularly thanks to anterior placenta mentioned in previous post
- More energy - moderate
- Achiness in abdomen or back - occasionally, more in pelvis than anywhere
- Leg cramps - a couple
- Skin color changes - no
- Protruding navel - no
- Itchy abdomen - once in a while
- Stretch marks - none so far
Overall, very similar symptoms to what I experienced with Sarah - I remember the heartburn didn't start until much later with her and ability to feel her movements started a lot earlier.
