Welcome to your 2nd trimester or, as it’s often known, the honeymoon period of pregnancy. While not many women would describe any period of pregnancy as fun, the second trimester pregnancy months are generally agreed upon as the least painful of the nine. Pregnancy symptoms generally subside a bit during the second trimester, so you should experience some physical relief. Take advantage of this break between early pregnancy symptoms and the major discomfort (sorry) that comes with trimester three’s big belly to do some serious planning for baby. Now is a great time to work on the nursery, finish up your baby registry, think about baby names, investigate childbirth classes, and figure out your post-baby work situation. Our comprehensive guide to your second trimester will also walk you through all the prenatal tests and screenings you’ll have during these months and keep you updated on baby’s development. (This trimester is pretty exciting, because you’ll probably start feeling those little kicks!)

There’s nothing like the support and friendship of other Bumpies going through exactly the same thing as you!
