The glow of the second trimester has begun to fizzle, and you're getting big and tired. A good night's sleep is increasingly hard to come by; trips to the bathroom, kicks from the baby, cramping legs, and heartburn are all working against you. You may also experience these symptoms for the first time:
Swelling of the ankles, hands, and face. (Call your doctor immediately if you experience sudden or extreme swelling.)
Hemorrhoids
Sciatica
Braxton Hicks contractions
Itchy belly
You may also find yourself cleaning, organizing, and, well, nesting as you prepare for labor, delivery, and bringing your new baby home!
