Cautiously Optimistic...

Totally jinxing myself here, 3rd trimester will probably do me in :)

I am pleasantly surprised with how this pregnancy is going...weight gain is about 1/2 of where I was at my first two pregnancies, my rings still fit, I'm sleeping and I feel relatively normal. I'm pretty sure I was already a wreck by 24 weeks.

Sure, there is still a lot of time for things to go south, but maybe they won't?  I have had 6 massages this trimester and I think they are playing a big part in my feeling good. My body is being taken care of and I think because of that I'm not doing any excess comfort eating and I am conscious of my posture so I don't mess up the massage. I also thing that hour of TLC really cheers me up.

Anyone else feeling pretty good?

I do!! I hope I don't jinx myself either here esp. with 3rd trimester coming but I feel great!! I had no MS, I'm sleeping better then ever, and no swollen feet/ankles. I have friends who are about 10 weeks behind me and they are already having a hard time. I thought this (my 1st) pregnancy was going to be "uncomfortable" full of nausea, moodiness, aches and such but it has been so much fun and such an amazing process!! I'm hoping someone get me a pre-natal massage for Christmas this year, **Fingers Crossed**

I'm feeling muuuuuuuch better than my first pregnancy....but about a week ago I've started up notice my body beginning to break down a bit as far as aches, pains, and tiredness. Hoping to get atleast a few more really good weeks out of this preg, though!

I felt great with SO much energy. Until yesterday. I'm hoping its a fluke but I've become very achy and very tired, similar to first tri. I was hoping to hang on to the great feeling for a few more weeks at least. I'm going to get a prenatal massage and adjustment this week to see if I can't get back on track.

Well I am jealous.

My feet hurt, I have wretched heartburn, I feel like a whale, I only sleep 4 hours each night and sometimes I wonder why I even venture outside the bathroom when I am only going to have to run back in 30 seconds later to pee again. 

I don't even want to know what the 3rd trimester will bring...

Ok, mini pity party over! I am glad at least that the rest of you seem to be doing better than I am, and I know baby girl is feeling great since a lot of my lack of sleep is due to her early dedication to the martial arts. She made all of this even more worth it the other day when she kicked DH's hand on my belly SUPER hard - his face was priceless!
So excited to meet our baby girl in March!

Everything's been going swimmingly so far. No MS in first tri, everything fantastic in 2nd tri. I'm hoping it all doesn't take it's revenge on me in third tri. Though the past few nights I've been having trouble staying asleep just because I have to change positions. I'll get shoulder and low back pain from sleeping on my sides, so every 2 hours it wakes me up and then I'm miserable for about 15 minutes in the morning while it subsides. But aside from that, no other symptoms. Weight gain is right on target, and it's all in belly (and thighs). No swelling of my ankles/feet so far as I can tell. And we've just started Lamaze classes.

This is my first child. I think he's trying to make it really easy on me so I don't immediately write off having a second due to a terrible pregnancy.
