Second Trimester

About

The second trimester runs from week 13 to the end of week 27. Most women find this their best stretch of pregnancy: early sickness has usually settled, energy returns, and the bump becomes visible (most first-time mums show between weeks 14 and 20). It's also when proper maternity wear becomes a daily necessity rather than an occasional comfort. BABYGO second trimester essentials focus on the daily wear and growing-bump support. Maternity leggings and over-the-bump knickers become wardrobe staples by week 16, while a support belt helps with the increasing weight and round ligament pain that starts in this stage. A pregnancy pillow becomes essential as belly-down sleep stops being possible from around week 16.
