Mine worked wonders for me (currently 9 weeks). And I am one of those who was smacked in the face with fatigue… isn’t this all so much fun!? 🙂

It can be really helpful with pain during pregnancy as well as connecting to your body and baby and improving sleep. Just a thought.

Second trimester is supposed to be the best of the three! If you think pregnancy does weird crap to your body, wait until AFTER you deliver. No one prepares you for the weird stuff that happens postpartum. lol But enjoy every moment of it, the good and the bad, because before you know it, it will all be a memory. 🙂

I am 23 weeks right now 🙂 With my last pregnancy I had the carpal tunnel symptoms. It would wake me up at night. I started wearing wrist braces and that helped alot.

All kinds of fun and not so fun stuff happening to your body! Nobody can tell you what it will be like for you because every pregnancy and associated symptoms are so different. I’ve had two kids and both pregnancies were vastly different. Glad you have found relief for your sciatic pain, that is the worst!

I snored like a trooper last time I was pregnant and my husband tells me it’s back! 🙂 He’s got earplugs. Last time I was pregnant I spent 3 weeks in hospital due to Pre-eclampsia, I was in a hospital ward with 4 other heavily pregnant ladies and my gosh, the amount of snoring in that room was crazy!!!
Enjoy it all, the good and bad, it goes so quickly! All the best with the rest of the pregnancy!

No nausea, no fatigue, nothing. I felt awesome! Then once I hit like 15 weeks I became a slug, and would spend my days off dozing on and off for the entire day. Luckily, it got better in the third tri, and felt relatively good to the end. The chiropractor definitely helped though. I hope the remainder of your pregnancy goes well! Can’t wait to “meet” BabyPrevention.
