I had a tough first trimester- I was tired, and sick.. not morning sickness, I had 24 hour a day sickness. I threw up all the time, it was awful. To make it worse, I was bleeding too, bright red, and so the doctors told me I would probably miscarry and that scared me. But about 11 weeks, the sickness and bleeding subsided, and another week or two after that I began to get my energy back, which was fantastic. the 2nd trimester really is the best part--your past the time when your body's owrking overtime to make the baby, and not yet to where its heavy to carry. Now in my 3rd trimester, like Ambe, the tiredness has returned, but not as bad. I have to take a nap sometimes during the day, but I've stayed very active thru pregnancy, and I think that has helped.
I found out at 24 weeks that I'm having a little boy. Hubby and I are very excited, nusery is all set, and we're hoping he comes a little early. Best of luck when you go to see your midwife.
Its funny, at first you want nothing but to start showing, I know i couldn't wait...then in the 3rd trimester, I feel ( and Hubby tells me) I get bigger every day and the back is getting sore and the ankles swell. I just can't wait for the baby now!
