The second trimester of pregnancy is often called the honeymoon phase because physically you may begin to feel like your old self. But the pregnancy emotions set in this trimester and many women experience moments of forgetfulness and mixed feelings about their ever growing abdomens. During the end of this trimester, many pregnant women deal with pregnancy emotions that impact their relationships. They begin to wonder if they are still attractive to their partner and wonder how their baby will change their relationship and life.
The third trimester is marked with an intense desire to be organized and prepared for baby. Many emotions begin to flood a pregnant women’s mind as her body prepares for birth. Some women feel extremely anxious about labor and delivery. Others relaxingly look forward to the life changing experience.
