CRYPTIC PREGNANCY

The Light and Dark Side of Cryptic Pregnancy in the Second Trimester

The second trimester in pregnancy is called many things: “The Honeymoon Phase”, “Pregnancy Limbo”, the “Easy” trimester. Many women in the 14-27 weeks of pregnancy find themselves not “feeling” so pregnant. Most of the harsh symptoms of the first trimester have subsided as our bodies become used to the new sensations and the hormone Relaxin has kicked in. Also, the big movements and heaviness of the third trimester are yet to come. My experience so far though has been quite different. The second trimester of my cryptic pregnancy has me feeling anxious, and has me questioning myself.
