2nd Trimester Recap: sizing up for confidence, my workouts & wardrobe, round ligament pain, & savoring time with my kids!
Tue Feb 03 2026
Sorry, but I definitely did not sign any approval form for my second trimester flying by that fast?! It’s funny- with your first, you’re counting down every single day until birth. By the third, you’re begging time to slow down… or is that just me??
Either way, I’m grateful to officially check off my second tri—it’s always been the easiest one in my book. I thought it’d be fun to bring you along for a little recap of the past few months: second-trimester milestones, tug-of-war emotions, some “controversial” choices I’m making this time around, a cervix update, and a Q&A submitted by you lovely ladies. Let’s get into it.
What I cover:
• Wild fatigue caused by vitamin D and iron deficiencies (and how I fixed it)
• Glucose testing options + my Fresh Test experience
• Managing anxiety while staying on low-dose Lexapro
• Early bump, round ligament pain, and body acceptance
• Ditching the scale and sizing up for confidence
• What my workout routine looks like these days
• Yes, I’m eating sushi, deli meats and taking a damn bubble bath
• A non-maternity wardrobe that actually fits
• Am I doing a “sprinkle”… or a babymoon??
