Trimesters are a very usefull way to think about pregnancy. The changes that occur to you and your baby are classified as early, middle, and late pregnancy, sometimes known as the first, second, and third trimesters.
The second trimester is the intermediate stage of your pregnancy, lasting from weeks 13 to 26. During this trimester, your nausea may subside and you may notice that you have more energy.
This comprehensive guide will help you navigate the various stages of pregnancy and provide valuable insights into maintaining a healthy, joyful journey.
Baby is growing and has a strong heartbeat and the cutest little side profile. They were jumping around like crazy and kept sticking up an arm almost as if they were waving. My heart is so happy 🥰
