Second trimester. Questions
 

Before I start thank you guys for taking the time and answer my question.
First question I would like to know why am not getting hungry as such anymore?
I always heard people said second trimester you suppose to feel better. But I am getting more tired as usual.
When should I start feeling the baby moving?
How many weeks would I be able to know the baby sex?

It might be what you're eating. With my past pregnancies I ate everything in sight and I was always hungry. This time around I'm eating more protein (eggs, cheese, meat, chicken) and veggies. I still eat 3 meals a day with an occasional snack between....my midwife would prefer I eat 6 small meals but that's just too much for me.
If you eat more simple carbs you will be hungry more often because you burn them off faster.


anywhere from 17-21 weeks or sooner. With this pregnancies I felt the occasional flutters around 15 weeks they slowly change to tiny kicks.

Depending on your Ultrasound tech's equipment but it could be as soon as 15 weeks. Normally it isn't till 18 weeks. That's been my experience with my OB's and midwives who don't want to schedule an U/S till the 18th week and techs will tell you "We won't be able to tell till the 18th week." But if you're lucky you'll get someone with up-to-date equipment that will be able to tell you much sooner. :)

I would not be hungry for awhile then be starving - just make sure you have snacks.

Baby is growing more, definitely zaps your energy. Keep drinking the water!

When should I start feeling the baby moving?
18-22 weeks

How many weeks would I be able to know the baby sex?
For sure by 20 weeks

thanks guys..

I never got " hungry" till my third trimester!

I was actually more hungry during the first trimester. My hunger has tapered off some now. I still have days where I'm more hungry than others though.

Every pregnancy (and every woman) is different. I started to get my energy back last week, but some days I'm dragging.

I just started feeling movement, but it's sporadic and I wasn't sure what I was feeling was the baby at first. My midwife said that the movement will start to feel more "real" by 21-22 weeks. What she meant by that is, by then, Dh or someone else could start to feel the movement from the outside.

Most OBs and Midwives have you wait until the 20-week ultrasound to find out the gender. Although the genitalia is fully formed at 17-weeks, I believe. So, before then it's a guess and not necessarily correct.

very true, there's only been 3 people that are pregnant now that found out at 14th-15th weeks that they were having boys. Don't know but so far they still say they're boys, they're 6 weeks behind me. My kids have never been shy so at 18 weeks its pretty obvious what they are. LOL

Every woman is different, and sometimes every day is different for me. Some days I am very hungry, and some days I can barely eat. I am 16 weeks today, and I am more tired than I was during the first trimester. I haven't felt any kicks yet, but my OB told me at 15 weeks that I'm having a boy!
