Yup, same! I usually only eat chicken for meat but since 8 weeks, I can’t even look at it.

18 weeks here. Most of my nausea has disappeared and so has the insane tiredness but my food aversions have gotten worse. I’m pretty much vegetarian now. I just can’t look at or eat meat except maybe in pasta sauce or something.

I recently learned that 12-15 weeks requires a D&C whereas 15+ is a D&E because of the complicated nature of the procedure. Hopefully you never learn this same information.


Why would you even comment this ?


Because I'm grieving and get the procedure on Monday. So fun.


Ok but not the thread. Make another one.

Op here: I’m thinking about it as everyone tells me second trimester is game changing. I’m hoping my nausea, awful smells and insane food aversions get better. But thanks for your wonderful comment!


There are very few things in human physiology that are an on/off switch. Likely will bleed over into 2nd trimester.

NP here. For me second trimester WAS a game changer for both my pregnancies, but more like 16 weeks, not 12. It gets better every week.

Whatever the OB says it is. Certainly not what baby center says…

I’m 13 weeks tomorrow and some apps say 13 weeks is second trimester and some say 14 weeks! My OB said technically it’s like 13 weeks 5 days so they just consider it 14 weeks but curious what others have considered the start of the second trimester?
