Trimester Two: Appetite for Everything

Oh sweet, glorious second trimester—where your ballooning belly is celebrated and naps are a competitive sport. By now, you're no stranger to strangers who offer unsolicited advice on child-rearing or wax poetic about the bird-shaped birthmark their aunt Tilly has on her left knee. It's fascinating, Tilly, truly riveting. But the second trimester, darling, is like discovering your pregnancy superpower: insatiable hunger and unprecedented energy. You're basically a superhero, whose tragic flaw is a penchant for pickles and ice cream at 3 AM. So slip on your cape, aka your trusted leggings, because your second wind is here and it's fabulous AF!

1. The Second Wind: Legend or Reality?

Just like Bigfoot, the existence of the "second wind" might seem like an urban legend. It's that magical time in your pregnancy where you feel like you can conquer the world—or at least the mysterious depths of your fridge. But unlike Bigfoot, the second wind is real and luckily (for some of us), much easier to capture on camera. Snap a selfie while you nest like a pro or your eyeliner is just right despite little to no sleep.

Your energy levels might be returning from their extended holiday in the first trimester, allowing you to actually go for a walk without fantasizing about your couch back home. You may even find the energy for prenatal yoga, or, if you're feeling rebellious, reading a whole magazine—the glossy kind with pages and everything!

Bold Idea: Pull on your favorite maternity leggings, picture yourself as the Wonder Woman of Waddling, and take a walk!

2. Second Breakfast: Because You Deserve It

The other half of the second trimester myth is the infamous "second breakfast." Like a hobbit with good taste, your appetite is reaching Olympic levels. Mornings will no longer suffice with a basic toast and coffee. Instead, experience the culinary genius that is maple bacon pancakes. I promise it's simply for sustenance and not

at all because pancakes sound delightful when they hit your second-trimester taste buds.

• Denim shorts? Out
• Sashimi? Farewell, sweetheart
• But maternity leggings with room for second breakfast? In, and we mean IN!

Yes, we've said goodbye to many fashionable favorites as our bellies whisper sweet nothings to carbs, but fear not fashionista! Visit Emamaco's selection of maternity leggings and shorts—perfect for embracing those extra helpings with grace and style.

3. Cravings: Your Baby's Secret Superpower

Overcome by the inexplicable urge for pickled peanut butter sandwiches? Relax, you're normal! Pregnancy cravings put you in touch with your quirky culinary self, but don't be alarmed if you might end up eating things that make your partner lose their lunch. Identify your top cravings and indulge (within reason), with a touch of sass.

Embrace the madness, and don't run from it! Here’s a list of cravings ranked from "I'm definitely pregnant" to "someone get this baby a chef's hat!":

• 5. Ice cream with gherkins: Eccentric yet somehow satisfying.
• 4. Potatoes, any kind: chips, baked, fried—Mother Nature’s gift!
• 3. Bacon on ice cream: Just repeat, ‘I'm worth it.’
• 2. Nachos for breakfast... and lunch... and also dinner.
• 1. An entire cake: That's right, the whole thing. Because why not?

Remember: The best accessorize is your fork. Embrace it!

4. Best Friends Forever: Maternity Fashion

Besides your cravings, another new BFF during the second trimester is your wardrobe. But listen closely, your skinny jeans are not invited to this party. Swap those high-waisted offenders f

or maternity leggings that embrace your blossoming bump.

Emamaco has cornered the market on stylish comfort. Their maternity leggings and nursing crops are the equivalent of a comforting culinary hug, but tailored, supportive, and soul-lifting. And who doesn't want to wear something that promises the stretch to accommodate second breakfast and still leave you feeling like a princess?

Cheeky Truth: Wearing any form of elastic waistband is its own victory.

5. The Fabulous Second Trimester Checklist

For the ultimate pregnancy glow, here's a cheeky checklist:

• Nap: Because your pre-baby social life has evaporated.
• Hydrate: Apparently, water tastes better from a trendy tumbler with a straw.
• Nurture the Nest: Unleash your inner interior designer... thanks Pinterest.
• Leggings: Must haves indeed, especially from Emamaco.
• Cry: Perfectly normal, warranted or not. Embrace your inner soap opera star.

6. The Dark (Food) Side: The Worst Second Trimester Cravings

Not all cravings are created equal. Here are some that even we have to admit are a bit much:

• 5. Hot Cheeto sushi: Spicy, unlike your past sushi nights.
• 4. Chicken wing milkshakes: For very a
  
  dventurous palates only.
• 3. Brownie, cheese, and guac sandwich: Our hearts... we can't...
• 2. Chocolate-covered garlic: Vampires, dare to enter!
• 1. Pickle juice popsicles: The only thing getting chills is us.

Your culinary taste buds in the second trimester are an enigma, wrapped in a mystery, drizzled with chocolate and possibly cheese. It's a beautiful mess, embrace it without shame!

Saucy Tip: Life is short—eat the brownie, and garnish with belly laughs!
