First Timers around 4th Month?

Hello ladies, just curious to see your status early in your second semester.  How do you feel?  Have you told people about your pregnancy?  Anything else to share?

Not quite 4 months but decided to share.. I feel good an occasional headache or case of nausea. Alot more energy which is great. A few family members know, As long as my appt. goes good today i will be buying my announcement Christmas Cards tomorrow. It has been a real rollercoaster between happiness and nervousness.

I'm about 17 weeks so basically around 4 months.  I was feeling horrible all the way through my 1st Tri, and just started feeling better this week.  Yes, everybody knows.  We are finding out the gender on December 26th!

I've just slid into second tri.  So far I feel good.  Not as tired and I luckily didn't battle too much nausea in first tri.  Headaches are ramping up a little just like they did with my son but thankfully I'm ahead of the game and already have the medication I took with him on hand for when they get bad.  I'm starting to round out thanks to muscle memory and the fat I didn't lose after having him :)  By the end of the day I feel 100 months pregnant.

I'm 25 wks 5 days now. But at the start of the second trimester I still felt nauseous and tired all the time. I couldn't stomach veggies at all.  But around 16 weeks I started feeling a lot better and had a lot more energy.   We told everyone around 13 weeks.

14 weeks today, and I feel like crap. I caught a cold, and the post nasal drip is irritating the morning sickness. I'm exhausted because I'm not sleeping well.

FTM & 16 weeks. I think I've been lucky with an 'easy' pregnancy so far. Not much morning sickness to speak of. Just tired & lacking energy in first tri, but by the beginning of 2nd trimester, I gained more energy and feel more normal as far as that goes.

Most people know of my pregnancy by now. We just told extended family and friends in our Christmas cards which were sent out last week.

I couldn't be happier to be in the 2nd tri and beginning the 4th month!  Just had a prenatal appt yesterday where we got the NT scan results and got to see "Peanut" via U/S for the 3rd time!  NT results were excellent, and the baby looks good.  All of my symptoms have pretty much subsided... I never had M/S though, thank GOD!   Eating chicken still freaks me out a little, but I am getting better.  I do have occasional headaches, but nothing terrible.  Also have some cramping that comes and goes very quickly, I think its just the stretching thats going on in there.  So far we have told all close family and close friends.  I plan on telling my boss next week.  He's the type to ask what my gameplan is, so I want the weekend to prepare.  FB announcement will probably be shortly after I tell my boss!  Welcome 2nd tri!  This is certainly the babymoon phase... feels great to feel someone normal again!

I am 4 1/2 months now, my date could be off, I'll know soon. But I don't feel like I have the pregnancy glow one bit, I still get the ocassional day of nausea, lots of head aches, and sleeping can be a challenge to get comfy and my sides and back kill me. I hope the nausea subsides soon cause I still haven't put on any weight yet, which isn't surprising cause my appetite is still not very high. I hope the rest of you are getting the "easy" 2nd tri I hope mine gets easier too!

I'll be 16 weeks tomorrow! The first trimester was much more difficult (tons of nausea) but that has lessened.  I am still pretty fatigued and wish I had more energy to exercise. The headaches are the worst pregnancy symptom right now, they are debilitating.  We announced our pregnancy awhile ago and just announced that we are having a boy (we had an elective 3D ultrasound to find out).  I'm looking forward to our a/s in a couple weeks, hoping everything looks good and baby is healthy.

I'm at 16 weeks with my first, and until I got this cold on Saturday, I have felt great for the past few weeks.  If my belly wasn't getting noticably bigger I wouldn't feel "pregnant" at all.  I had all day nausea for the first 11 weeks, but have felt great since.  During the first trimester I would have to work out in the morning because I was absolutely exhausted after work.  I would also pass out on the couch every night around 9:00.  Now, I'm back to my evening workouts with my friends and feeling much more energized.  I still don't want to eat my vegetables, which is so weird for me.  I love vegetables!  I don't really want fish either, which I used to eat all the time when I wasn't pregnant.  I'm up about 7 lbs., which I think is pretty good for 16 weeks, so I really can't complain.

I'm lucky and didn't have to deal with any morning sickness.... I was, however, EXHAUSTED until around 13 weeks. I'm feeling back to normal now. Just waiting for my belly to "pop" so I can look pregnant too!

I'll be 4 months on Sat & I'm feeling pretty good. My energy is more than back & I have absolutely no nausea. A couple new symptoms I've acquired are headaches & heart burn. I am just now experiencing cravings.

Everybody knows now. I did the Fb announcement on Sat after we found out on that we're having a boy, (through a 3d/4d elective u/s). We are so stoked. It is finally feeling real, & a lot of my paranoia & worry has subsided.

FTM, 17 weeks and I feel like a new person! I feel very lucky, and hope that those of you who are still feeling yucky get to this point soon. Occasional waves of nausea and fatigue, but those have been few and far between. We found out 2 days ago that it's a boy (yaaay!), so I finally broke down and posted in on FB (which I was conflicted about, but whatevs).

FTM, 16 weeks... definitely feeling better! The nausea that came back last week seems to have gone away, unless I have an empty stomach, so I try to stay full. Having a hard time sleeping, but I usually sleep on my stomach and that's just not possible anymore so it's taking a bit of adjusting to sleep on my side. And getting up to pee during the night doesn't help either! I'm still waiting for my energy to come back, I'd really like a nap about now! 

Very excited to find out the sex on Dec 27! And (im)patiently waiting to feel the baby move. I think I might have felt it last week, but I'm not sure and haven't felt anything since. I also feel like I'm in that awkward stage where maternity clothes are a little big and my regular clothes don't fit anymore. I'll be so happy when I have a nice round bump to fill them out! 
We're team pink!

I'm 14 wks and 5 days today with baby #1 and feel great. I was lucky during my 1st trimester and had NO morning sickness whatsoever. I lacked energy and wanted to be in bed by 9 to wake up at 6:45 or so but that has subsided and I've gained energy once again. I'm not having any symptoms other than the occasional headache and indigestion, both of which I usually had before I was expecting. We told my parents immediately after taking a HPT (6 wks) just because I wanted to know family history before meeting with the Dr. We told my in-laws when I was 11 wks and announced on facebook to friends/extended family. I've only seen baby once at my 8 wk appt and heard heartbeat at my 12 wk appt. DH and I are super excited to find out gender in January and it's soo difficult knowing we still have over a month to find out!
