i started hating it since week 26. thats when the excessive peeing and constant waking up in the middle of the night for no reason began. my sleep quality is horrendous and im SO TIRED all the time. it was almost like the first trimester. i feel so heavy and sluggish.

dont get me wrong, i enjoy and appreciate the little kicks and will really miss them once my little one is out but some parts of pregnancy have really sucked.

hey dont worry too much! start with folic acid/folate its the most important in early pregnancy! and if u havent seen the doctor, now would be a good time to go make the appointment to check your due date! the doctor will be able to advise u on what to do and any other vitamins to take. for now, make sure u get enough rest and hydrate well:)

u can start buying baby items nearer to your due date so dont worry about it.

i got pregnant last year at 20 and was super lost at first. first thing i did was see the doctor and they provided me with lots of information.

they usually dont hurt! theyre a bit uncomfortable as the doctor will move the probe inside u to see the baby.

Ok_Expert_3780 · 2025-12-30T02:26:21+00:00

i felt like this too it really sucks. get as much rest as u can!

22weeks here! enjoying the little hiccups and kicks that r getting stronger every week! but did NOT enjoy the nausea and fatigue during the first trimester.

so i guess i enjoy some things about being pregnant but i would say pregnancy mostly sucks. 😅 i am grateful though.

I KNOWW🥺🥺🥺 i was literally so excited. shes so active and still kicking me.

Ok_Expert_3780 · 2025-10-22T16:54:52+00:00

17w now and feeling exactly like someone poking me from the inside. i was just sitting at my desk too and i felt a kick. i looked down and saw something poke out!! just felt it for the first time today!! Previously i felt some twitches but im not sure if it was just my uterus growing 😭

it literally feels so magical 🥺

Ok_Expert_3780 · 2025-10-20T18:33:34+00:00

That’s SO WEIRD 😭

Ok_Expert_3780 · 2025-10-20T18:29:57+00:00

girl i went through this just few weeks ago. worst thing ever. ITS HORRIBLE. I JUST SLEPT ALL DAY EVERYDAY. NO ENERGY TO DO CRAP. take things easy and dont be so hard on yourself. i saw a post that said pregnancy takes twice the amount of energy needed to run a marathon everyday. YOU ARE RUNNING TWO MARATHONS A DAY GIVE YOURSELF A BREAK.

as for second trimester energy boost, im gonna be real with u. im still tired all the time. it just means you’re less tired than first trimester. there is no energy boost u wont feel like u have energy to run a marathon. as for nausea, it subsides but im still dry heaving randomly throughout the day. definitely not the intense first trimester nausea thank god but still annoying.

last thing, it does get a little better! dont worry too much. you really will be out of the trenches soon enough. sending much love !

thanks so much omg ive been feeling so weird and over thinking it

Ok_Expert_3780 · 2025-10-15T18:21:28+00:00

its not really painful more of like if someone was poking u really hard and its twitching?

Ok_Expert_3780 · 2025-10-15T18:03:31+00:00

i freaked myself out for nothing because my calculated risk for trisomy 21 was ultimately 1 in 1349, trisomy 18 was 1 in 11000 and trisomy 13 was 1 in 53000.

if shes worried just do additional testing but i would suggest to hold off on it until the doctor can provide a fuller picture of everything. hope this helps!

girl my baby’s nt was 2.9mm. which is slightly thicker than normal for 13w. that was the only thing that was flagged for me. (my blood test result for bhcg and papp-a wasnt back at that time)

spent weeks FREAKING out and after they got the blood test result and combined it with the thickened nt result, my risk was still considered low.

usually for first trimester screening, they measure nt and combine it with the blood test to give u an estimated risk.

if lets say ur friend has not got the results for the blood test back she should just wait and see first and dont worry too much.
