The second trimester of pregnancy lasts from 13 to 28 weeks, or 4, 5, and 6 months.
It’s the middle phase of pregnancy. You may start seeing your “baby bump” and feel the baby movements for the first time.
As you enter your second trimester of pregnancy, the morning sickness and fatigue you may have felt during the last 3 months fade away slowly and you become more comfortable and start enjoying your pregnancy.
Most of the pregnant mothers feel these to be the easiest 3 months of pregnancy.
