  • 5.24: The Real Truth About the Second Trimester: Why You Feel Better but Still Anxious
    Dec 23 2025

    Everyone says the second trimester is the “easy” one, more energy, less nausea, and that pregnancy glow. So why do so many moms still feel anxious, uncomfortable, and unsure during trimester 2?

    In this episode of Baby Then What, Amanda and Jessie get brutally honest about the real truth of the second trimester, especially now that Amanda is pregnant with baby #3.

    We talk about: – Second trimester symptoms no one warns you about – Why anxiety often increases (even when you “feel better”) – Body changes, weight gain fears, and bump comparison – Anatomy scan nerves and worrying when you don’t feel movement yet – Pregnancy emotions no one prepares you for – What actually helped us feel calmer and more grounded in trimester 2 – What we’re doing differently this time around

    If you’re in your second trimester and wondering “Is this normal?” — you’re not alone.
