You would be highly excited and happy to have left a troublesome trimester behind. The second trimester has you feeling energetic instead of tired. Your nausea, tenderness in the breasts and other symptoms of early pregnancy are also more or less gone by the beginning of the second trimester.

The Second Trimester

Your belly starts showing up the signs of a life developing inside it and you would now want to try using some maternity clothes. The increase in hormone levels, that made you kind of sick during the first trimester, now make you look beautiful and do not be surprised if people start asking you if you are pregnant just on the basis of your looks!

After the first trimester is over, the odds of a miscarriage are reduced significantly. That is why in most cultures, women try not to make the news of being pregnant public until the second trimester starts. They keep it to themselves, and take the utmost care under the guidance of their medical provider till they are in the second trimester.

Would you want to start thinking about baby names now? Sure yes! During this trimester you can even find out, if you so wish, the sex of the baby. Accordingly, you can plan out buying the furniture for the baby’s room or the clothes for him/her.
