17 Weeks Pregnant: Sleeping The Sleep Of The Second Trimester
Here’s My Latest Pregnant Update At 17 Weeks Pregnant
So we’re in week 17 of pregnancy, what’s that like? Well, I’m 17 weeks pregnant and TIRED.
Here’s more about pregnancy week 17…but first…
My 17 Weeks Pregnant Baby Bump
17 Weeks Pregnant Symptoms (I’m TIRED)
Lost: one burst of second trimester energy.
If found, please return to: Gill, the yawning one who’s usually trying to sneak in a nap in the corner.
Is it true about the second trimester burst of energy? As I’m yet to experience it. I’m still So. Very. Tired.
I can’t remember if I had one last time. But I guess last time I wasn’t looking after a toddler and still breastfeeding, both of which probably counteract it. And as E didn’t sleep through consistently till she was two, I think sleep-wise I’ll forever be playing catch-up. I’ve been joining her for a lovely midday nap more often than not (sleep wins over spare time, every time).
Week 17 Of Pregnancy: My Growing Baby Bump
I cracked out the maternity clothes this week, but only because I had a work meeting and wanted to wear one of my Isabella Oliver dresses from first time round, bought on the luxury of a full-time wage.
My 17 weeks pregnant baby bump is ooking a bit more pregnant, but still half-way between ‘desperately sticking my stomach out’ and ‘big bowl of pasta for lunch’, bump-wise.
Read my Isabella Oliver review and New Look Maternity review.
It feels like early days though, despite nearly being half-way through the second trimester now and nearly half way through the pregnancy (YIKES, when did that happen?) It’s a strange slow / quick limbo. Did it feel like this for everyone during your second pregnancy?
Pregnancy updates at 16 weeks, 15 weeks, 14 weeks, and the first trimester.

Yes! The re-energising state of the 2nd trimester has been true for me. I was completely wiped out in my 1st trimester, but now my energy has returned. I guess everyone is different, but I’m sure you will regain your energy soon 🙂

Oh bless you, it’s horrible being tired. But that cardigan combined with your beautiful hair will have woken everybody else up at your meeting – lovely stuff!

I still feel like its ages and I’m 32 weeks this week. You’re always tired with a toddler, I nap as much as I can although getting to that uncomfortable sleeping stage and the energy thing…yeah right! Its like the blooming part of pregnancy, I seem to be spotty and tired looking always!!

You must be so close now! Dreading the uncomfortable sleeping stage. I think the blooming part is a bit of a myth, especially second time round x
