Before you start reading I need you to know I am not a doctor nor am I a medical care person. I am sharing this blog to help you navigate your pregnancy and find the top advisers that will guide you and help you during this time of your pregnancy.

During my research of finding the most value on what to share with my readers. I found that many new moms are wanting phone trackers to track the journey of their pregnancy. If you are one of those moms Here are two of the top trackers. 1. The Bump Baby Tracker and Pregnancy 2. Pregnancy+. I would love to hear which App. you like best.

When will you start showing?

You may see a little bump start peeking at the end of your first trimester. You definitely will see your baby during your second trimester, this is month four of pregnancy. Every woman’s body is different and your baby is unique and will bump your belly as they start to grow more. If this is your second baby when did you start showing with your first pregnancy?

When will I be able to eat without the sick feeling? I remember this all to well. My bland diet of saltine crackers, peppermint/ spearmint candies, water, ginger ale and gatorade was my go to for what felt like my entire first trimester. After that first trimester I can remember vividly waking up craving odd foods. Thankfully I had a support system that would grab me burritos from Taco Bell, Fries from McDonalds, Pickles from the gas station and when a midnight craving hit Ice Cream and a movie is what I grabbed. Not the best foods for my second trimester craving but I was eating and keeping it down, right. lol
