Second trimester: What's happening

Second trimester: What's happening

For many pregnant people, the second trimester is their favorite. You may be feeling less nauseated and more energetic. You may be starting to tell family and friends that you're pregnant.

Even if the pregnancy is not visible to others, you may no longer feel comfortable in your regular clothes. If you are going to travel, the second trimester is usually the best time to do it.
