Congratulations! Enjoy it. It's the best trimester. I did some yoga, met with people, walked a lot, went on holiday, ate all the foods I couldn't before. Third trimester will likely be uncomfortable so try to make the most of energy boost you'll likely to get soon.You may get heartburn and muscle aches. For the first one if nothing helps, go to your GP. I suffered without seeking help and now I know I should have gone to my GP. For muscle aches I found fitness ball very helpful.

Oh and if you struggle with sleep, get a pregnancy pillow. I didn't spend a lot on mine, but it helped so much.

Congratulations but my pregnancy is a little different in the second trimester I faced a lot of problems, there was blood in my urine. And could not even walk properly. Can't sleep well either. So I didn't go anywhere but lay on the bed and went for a walk after dinner. But I hope you didn't face any problem. Now I am entering the third trimester and my routine remains the same. This is my first pregnancy and I am a little nervous. Best wishes for your pregnancy.
