second trimester update
By jennyes2011 » Posted Jan. 10, 2013 2:58am - 291 views - 0 comments

I haven't updated for a while so thought it would be good to post something, as I have had some new symptoms!
I'm 17+3 today, and have started putting on a bit more weight. I hit the 9 stone mark for the first time ever a few days ago. Its a bit scary!
On the 31st December I felt my baby moving for the first time (at exactly 16 weeks). It feels, and still does, like little quivers/flicks in my lower abdomen. I tend to feel it when I'm sitting down so often feel it at work. Its got slightly stronger in the last few days after a few days of hardly anything.
For the past 3 days I have been waking up with swollen hands - more the left hand. They are not too bad - only real reason I can tell is because my wedding rings are stuck. But in a few hours they have gone.
My belly is getting rounder. In the morning when I wake up I have a roundness that I can feel, and a podgy stomach that sticks out. By the end of the day, its pretty big. I can't hide it very easily under my clothes now. Its still a lot of bloat but more bloat that I can't get rid of. My linea nigra has not got any darker - it is hardly visible. I have been getting full really easily.
My CM is increasing and is quite mucous like (TMI) but the midwife assured me it was fine!
