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.

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!
