Everyone calls the second trimester the "honeymoon phase" - but if you're in it right now and not feeling blissful and glowing, you are not doing it wrong. In this episode, Trish is pulling back the curtain on what's actually happening in your body during weeks 13 through 27, because comfortable does not mean uneventful.

In this episode, Trish covers:
Why the second trimester gets its reputation - and where that falls short
What your baby is actually doing in there (fingerprints, thumb sucking, and yes… peeing)
What to expect at your anatomy scan and why it's one of the most important appointments of your entire pregnancy
The physical changes in your body that catch people off guard - nosebleeds, bleeding gums, heart palpitations, and round ligament pain
What early fetal movement feels like and when to mention changes to your provider
Gestational diabetes screening, cervical length, and signs of preterm labor you should know
The emotional side of the anatomy scan that nobody talks about enough
The second trimester is beautiful — but it's not a time to coast. The more you understand what's actually happening, the more present and prepared you can be for everything ahead.
