From 12 to about 30 weeks is generally the easiest and most enjoyable part of pregnancy. Many women say that they feel healthier and more serene then than at any other time of their lives. Nausea disappears; energy returns; your uterus rises out of your pelvis, giving your bladder room to fill properly; you start to look pregnant, which most women welcome; you start to feel foetal movements at 18-22 weeks – very exciting; and by this time most women have come to terms with any early worries about parenthood.
Feeling so good heightens your awareness of what’s happening. You marvel at the miraculous development going on inside you. You have wonderful daydreams and fantasies about life ahead with your child. Your renewed energy starts a burst of enthusiastic preparations for the baby.
You develop a great interest in baby clothes and equipment. You avidly read and learn everything you can about child-bearing and baby-care. This is a very special time, especially during your first pregnancy. Enjoy it!
