The belly is definitely growing, each day I look down I feel like it is substantially bigger than the last time. But it really becomes obvious when I compare belly pictures.
That’s me at 10 weeks. Nearing the end of my first trimester.
This is me at 21 weeks. Just a few weeks away from the third trimester. It’s definitely bigger and starting to affect little things like the way I walk, the way I sleep, and how quickly I can get around. I’m sure that my size will only continue to impact my life as this pregnancy progresses, but I hope that I can stay as comfortable as I am right now.
Aside from difficulty sleeping (can’t get comfortable, wake up many times to pee), the accompanying fatigue, and some heartburn I have few physical complaints. I do, occasionally get some pretty awesome calf cramps, but I am able to quickly get those under control with some stretching and movement.
Actually, for the time being I am feeling pretty good. Pretty comfortable. I am enjoying this second trimester, just as everyone said I would.
