For those of us who are pregnant let's all give

an update every now and again to what week we are and what we are experiencing:

I'm in my 33rd week
I feel very different this week - all of a sudden I am starting to feel unconfortable - up until now my belly did not seem to bother me or be in the way. Well I don't know what happened - maybe I grew a lot in one week - but I'm sitting at my desk and my pants have gotten very tight and I feel very big.
I have also began the trips to the bathroom again - the 2nd trimester is so nice to be able to get a good nights sleep.
Plus, I'm starting to dream about giving birth - and it's scary - in the dreams.
Just curious to what the rest of you are going through?
All and all so far it hasn't been bad - but I'm starting to feel like I'm looking forward to not being pregnant anymore - I hope this is all normal.

I'm in my 24th week and feeling pretty good. I seem to have to go to the bathroom all the time and am I never really got that spark of energy everyone talks about in the 2nd trimester. Over all though, I feel pretty good, albeit fat and clumsy!

I'll be 17 weeks tomorrow. Each day is different for me in terms of energy level. Today, I'm quite tired. I don't 'look' pg yet --just overweight :(
and still wearing baggy sweaters and comfy pants. I hope to buy some cute maternity clothes before the GTG because lately I'm dressing pretty ugly! I did get my bra size taken at Macy's yesterday and had to buy new bras.
I'm already waking up about 3x a night to pee.
I had a lot of pressure/bloating feeling in the last couple of weeks that I think is my uterus growing, it helped to keep my feet up to relieve it.
I have no nausea whatsoever, so I'm grateful for that. No unusual cravings either. I have an appt with my MW this weekend, and she's supposed to do the AFP test. I hope we can hear the heartbeat with her doppler. Otherwise, she'll probably schedule a sonogram in a couple of weeks.
Overall, I feel quite good, healthy and happy!
Tummy pats!!

I am currently 25 weeks and 3 days pregnant! Only 100 days left, I cannot believe it. I am definitely enjoying the 2nd trimester. It's fun being pregnant! I look like I have a basketball in my tummy. It's really starting to pop out now. My only concern is my weight gain...I feel fat. I gained quite a few pounds this holiday season and I feel guilty. I am also having some trouble sleeping for some reason. I think my mind is racing, plus I cannot get comfortable anymore! Wahhh! I wish you all happy and healthy pregnancies!!!

Hi ladies...I'm glad you're all doing well. It would be really fun if you could post 'belly shots' so we could see how you look PG. Well, even if your not into sharing your PG shape, don't forget to take pics of your belly - you'll want to remember this time so much after the baby arrives!

I enjoyed reading this ladies, Thanks. I want to see what I may go through, I know everyone is different, however, it seems like everyone has to get up to pee during the night

Just over 14 weeks here... I feel like the newbie!

Luckily, I've been feeling pretty well!! I'm definitely not as tired as I was even 2 weeks ago!! YAY!! Lots of trips to the bathroom (that's really not new for me!), backaches and awful ligament pains!! I try so hard not to sneeze or cough!! Ouch!!

Good luck to all of you!!

I'll be 22 weeks tomorrow and I feel great! I am loving being pregnant right now. I only started wearing my maternity clothes about 2 weeks ago and have hardly gained any weight on the scale, although my belly is really really popping out! I still get up during the night to pee but not as much as I was. Energy level is mostly back, unless I do too much. Another good side effect - my skin looks great!

I am up a full bra size and a full cup! And my husband can feel the baby now - when the bumps are really strong. We were laughing so hard last night, the baby was going nuts at bedtime! I feel the baby all the time!

Tummy pats to all!
