The second trimester is from week 14 to week 27 of pregnancy – baby grows a ton, parents feel baby kicks, and belly bumps start to show. Things start to feel more real! And hopefully, morning sickness goes away for good.
The second trimester is a wonderful time to make sure to have fun. It doesn’t have to be serious all the time! Check out Mother Rising’s ultimate fun second trimester to-do list.

Many parents wonder when it’s best to take a childbirth class? Is it better to take it early so you have time to learn the material? Or is it better to take a class closer to delivery so you don’t forget. Hint: There’s probably not a wrong answer.
