The second trimester in your pregnancy is often thought of as the most exciting and best months. You are well past the morning sickness, you have more energy, you aren’t carting around another 20 pounds yet and you have a radiant energy that is apparent to anyone who looks at you. Your emotions are under better control and all of a sudden the baby is becoming a reality.

You’ll be able to hear the baby’s heart beat at the doctors office. Very soon you’ll be feeling your baby moving. This is the time to plan a vacation or get away with your significant other. Soon you’ll be too big and too tired to enjoy it and your doctor will advise against it. Then the baby will be born and all your life will change.

During your second trimester there are things to begin planning to stay on track for pregnancy that doesnt end in a panic state. But what to plan in your second trimester? Its time to make a list of things that will have to be accomplished before the baby is born. You ma want a generic list or one that allows you to tick off the items as you complete them. Use what works for you.

These are some of the things that you will want to be thinking about:

  • Nursing bras if you are going to be nursing
  • Supportive bra to use during exercise that fits your growing breasts
  • Maternity clothes for your growing belly
  • Baby’s room crib, changing table (if you are using it), clothes storage
  • Crib sheets and bumper pads to protect baby from the railings
  • Growth and development toys just a few
  • Maternity leave at work are you going back? Full time or part time?
  • Paperwork to add your baby to your insurance policy be sure to make the call!
  • Labor and delivery classes
  • Nursing class
  • Birth class for your other children
  • Dental cleaning so you don’t have to have one until after you return to work
  • Support after your baby is born help, housekeeping, nanny,
  • Choosing the type of birth you want at the hospital or at home
  • Choose your pediatrician for you baby
  • Resource books on nursing, delivery
  • Create a journal of events during this time

These are just some of the things what to plan in your second trimester. You may find that a global list works best or you may like to plan out when you’ll make these decisions and enter the dates into a calendar to keep you on track. What ever makes the most sense to you use it! What ever you do do not leave the decisions and planning for the third trimester, or worse, just weeks before the baby is born.
