Wierd as some people says that 2nd tri is the honeymoon period. I think they are mis leading the daddys!
Second trimester sleep
- Thread starter joelhoon
- Start date
i also think its misleading!
Maybe a little more energy? but other than that its all bad!

Look at the time I post this reply, I haven even sleep yet.. Im a night owl too,usually sleeps abt 1-2am or later.. Been getting so worse during both pregnancies,hot n cold problem oso another issue,cover blanket or not oso not right.. I have a big pillow under my feet to prevent cramps n water retention.. Lately almost every night my sleeping hours n problems are totally different..
No more too frequent visits to toilets at night, I tried a way tat worked well for me which I found out accidentally.everytime I go toilet, I will cough a few times on purpose but gentlely to empty up my bladder.. I found out this cuz i used to have leakage everytime i cough or sneeze lol.. Read at a pregnancy guide saying lean forward when urine oso will help empty the bladder but don't seem to work much for me..
Every pregnancies is different, most ppl feel that way doesn't means it will be the same for u.. I seriously understand this when now my 2nd pregnancy is so different from my 1st..there r both hard time n enjoyable time.. Juz try to relax urself in watever way u can n enjoy the pregnancy..

Cough gently when urinating! Well, good idea. Will try it tonite.
I also have less frequent toilet visits. And i realize my tummy is growing big suddenly! When i'm full after eating, the food seems nowhere to go as my stomach is so bloated!

Haha I using this coughing method everytime I go toilet so that I won't need to go again every now n then.. My tummy oso growing alot, I'm like eating nonstop, munching n snacking lol my baby dun like decent meals but love all those snacks,junk food n desserts! Lol typical girl pattern..
I have not been eating more than 1st tri, but my tummy is growing so fast.
As for junk food, I try to ctrl myself by not eating. Luckily no cravings yet.
Now I'm eating dry walnuts. Quite bitter. But heard that its good for the baby's brain.

Omg milkshake~~ another craving coming lol.. I realized I love drinking Milo too when Im pregnant, extra powder with fresh milk or condensed milk, hot or ice or ice-blended lol.. Used to drink everyday, seems ok with nutritions haha..I crave for sweet chocolate ice cream cone whenever I have v bad mood swing that I can't calm away myself..
Chocolate cake must be quite fattening. I like that too. But will try to minimize.
But will it calm your bad mood swing? I had bad mood once... I just try to keep quiet as I may just shout at my hubby if i talk. Its so hard to ctrl, but i just try. Milkshake? Buy where? I only know mac have.Make a pregnancy tickerI like avocado fruit juice mixed with milk. Quite ex but its really nice! Good for skin too.Mac milkshake should be easy and convenient to find.
Most cafe will have milk shake though...

I always like Sweet stuff like sweet chocolate ice cream,will juz take my time to enjoy n indulge in it n will forget abt my mood swing haha.. Duno how to deal with mood swing too, juz try to settle myself off with things i like to eat/do..Sometimes I juz go take a warm shower, or go for a short walk /shopping alone..will juz cry all e way out to relieve myself From all that stress too lol.. Had this too during my confinement, lol..

I talked to my hubby before about this, we came to a understanding tat at times it's not something we can control.. It's really important for the couple to communicate more n communicate well during pregnancy n when e baby is born..
As a dad-to-be soon, he have his stress n worries too,ESP when his work is quite stressful usually.. So now usually when we argue/quarrel over our son or other major/minor stuff, it will be forgive n forgotten ,laugh over ,aft awhile when we r calmed down..

I hv not really talked to my hubby about my mood swings. He is quarrelling with his dad everyday as his dad is helping us to renovate our new house (we pay him of cuz), and I can't do anything at all as I'm not even allowed to enter the hse due to pan tang
. I also have some issues with my own boss at work. He is too troublesome. I swear that I will not work as a personal assistant ever again.
