Second Trimester | Pregnancy Guide
Congratulations! Now that you're in your second trimester, there's so much to look forward to! Highlights might include finding out the sex of your baby and feeling your baby's first movements. Lasting from week 14 to week 27, the second trimester of pregnancy is often considered the best part. For many people, the morning sickness and fatigue of the first trimester disappear at this stage. The fetus continues to develop during this trimester—gaining weight and taking on the features of a newborn. You'll have an ultrasound during the second trimester to make sure the fetus is developing as it should.
