My Vasectomy Reversal

Fourteen weeks is the official beginning of the second trimester.  It’s an important milestone, because the risk of miscarriage goes down significantly when the second trimester starts.  It’s also a big deal because all those pregnancy hormones stabilize around this point, so morning sickness often starts to fade, and tiredness becomes less of a problem. 

So I’m totally relaxed now, and enjoying being pregnant, right?  Well, sort of…

I’m at 16 weeks today, and definately feeling better, plus I have more energy.  And I know that I should be less worried.  I actually am less worried, but not worry free.  Despite my growing belly and numerous reassuring ultrasounds, I’m still a little afraid that something will go wrong. 

I keep reading that I should be able feel movement somewhere between 15 and 20 weeks, so I’m eagerly waiting to feel something.  Nothing yet, and I know it’s early, but I want to!  I’ve also read that with first pregnancies, it’s often in the later range when women feel movement (I guess we don’t know what we’re feeling, so we don’t notice or attribute it to gas, etc.). 

Will I be less worried once I feel that movement?  I tell myself I will be.  Whether I actually am or not, I guess we’ll just have to wait and see!
