I am at the awkward stage of my pregnancy, where the people who know me well are aware of my pregnancy. I think it is very obvious, but most people around (who are not my Facebook friends) have no idea.Pregnant-and-beautiful

I have been pregnant for a whole 20 weeks (feels like a year) and most people have NO IDEA!

It is a little bit annoying, but if I really think about – it is a good thing and here is why:

  • Strange people do not have an excuse to touch my belly and I don’t have to stand in the defending stand to protect my stomach from the attackers
  • I don’t have to answer questions like: Are you going to find out who you are having? Was it planned? How does it feel to have a baby in your age?
  • I can eat a big lunch and say, “Oh, I ate a lot, I think my lunch is kicking back”
  • I can walk around knowing that “I have a secret and you don’t know it”

Second trimester is known to be the honeymoon of pregnancy – you are not yet uncomfortable by the growing bun, yet the nausea and the lack of energy takes a backseat.Why

Problems of the second trimester honeymoon

Ouch to my ankles.
Despite my dietary restrictions and cautions, my ankles look swollen and often look like they have a miniature spare tire on them.
Good news: Eventually the belly will be too big for me to see my feet or care about it

Is it indigestion or a baby kicking
Yes, I want to answer to the people I know, “Yes, my baby is kicking”, but half the time I am not sure if I am just having a tummy moment.
Good News: Just a feeling of a move (even if this is indigestion) is very memorable

Oh. My. Heartburn,
I had the heartburn throughout my previous pregnancies and I feel it coming back this time around again.
Good news: I am assuming that this baby will have beautiful hair (just like his brother and sister).
