It feels like this pregnancy is going by so slowly and so fast at the same time – the first trimester kicked my butt! I’m still recovering from fatigue (maybe it’s winter, maybe it’s growing a human, maybe it’s both!) but thankfully my nausea is gone!
In my last pregnancy post I said that every woman experiences pregnancy differently – with that said my other 15 weeks pregnant symptoms have been:
Major Food Aversions | My food aversions have decreased but the smell of cooking meat (chicken, beef, etc) is not my favourite right now. Though I can’t wait to eat it afterwards, cooking is not my forte at the moment.
Dry Skin | If I don’t take care of my skin, and trust me there are days when I want to skip washing my face, my skin develops major dry patches! So, as long as I’m on top of taking care of myself my skin remains hydrated.
Shortness of Breath | I recently realized how shallow my breathing has been over the last couple weeks, which doesn’t concern me too much because I know my uterus is growing more and more into my abdomen. But it can be frustrating when you want to do some deep breathing and I can’t. Oh well, I’ll be able to do that in 6 months!
Bumping | It’s my fourth baby, so my bump is finally rounding out and looking less like I ate too much… but I remember with my first my ab muscles were tight enough to keep my bump concealed until I was 20 weeks along.
This sweater is from Winners a couple years ago, and it’s so cute on my bump! I’ve noticed I’m wearing more and more regular clothes during pregnancy, and less maternity clothes. You can read more about how I dress my bump throughout the weeks here.
What were your favourite and worst pregnancy symptoms? Did your bump show at 15 weeks pregnant?
