For me yes! Still not pre-pregnancy energy but WAY more energy than first trimester

I second this 😂

Hang in there Momma! It’ll get better. I am on my 18th week. Things are much better since 16th week for me.

For me it did!! I needed a daily nap in the first trimester and now I don’t even feel pregnant (20w3d).

Exact same experience here. I'm now 23w3d and feel great!

This is great to hear. I’m six weeks and completely destroyed and tired and its impossible to live like this in NYC

It gets better in 2nd but kinda comes back third. I’m 32 weeks and struggle city at work. 😩

Yes! I was soooo tired and then was traveling and doing everything in second and third.

Thanks! That’s such a relief. I feel so destroyed all the time these days.

So much better. I didn’t just feel improved from the first trimester but I actually felt good. More energized than normal. The first trimester was awful, second is good, and the third is just uncomfortable.

It surely will ! There was one fine day like a switch flip where I started to feel more human again.

In about 16 weeks and just wanna take a nap! I sue hope so

This is so reassuring. 10 weeks and I feel soooo drained, also in the middle of a job transition so hoping I snap out of this phase before my new gig!

Yes and no. For me, I’m finding the need to sleep in more. I’m at 18.5 weeks and SO exhausted in the mornings. I’m not nauseas or anything, but have such brain fog till about 9:30/10am. Once I get through that I feel pretty back to normal! It’s weird lol. In the first trimester I kinda just felt a steady tired throughout the day but mornings weren’t particularly more rough. Oh also the last 2 or so weeks (so week 17-18 of pregnancy) my stomach has been off in the mornings. Like needing to 💩 3-4 times before 10am. Soooo basically my work days don’t start till 10 now lol

I’m torn because the other firm is under the impression I’m coming in as a partner. But I can’t turn away from the significant offer I have from my current firm, where I enjoy working.

What are some signs that your GF has a controlling personality? GF made a remark to me that she’s looking for someone who jumps when she says jump, and that she wishes I wouldn’t “talk back” to her when I provide an opinion that is the opposite of hers. I want to confront her about some of these remarks, but I oftentimes don’t feel it’s worth it b/c I know she’ll blow up and get defensive which would only make me angrier and more frustrated. I want things to work out, but I need advice…
