You’ll laugh, cry, and possibly pee at least twice.
Welcome to the second trimester, aka the hormonal Hunger Games meets rom-com blooper reel. You’re riding the wave of growing a baby, your organs are playing Tetris, and your mood swings? Academy Award-worthy. Basically, everything is a little more... extra.
This is the stage where you start to feel like a functioning (ish) human again, but also cry because you saw a puppy wearing shoes. It’s all happening. And the weirdest, wildest, most wonderful part? You’re somehow managing to keep it all together in between snack breaks and emotional breakdowns. Mostly.
So in honour of the beautiful mess that is trimester two, we’ve rounded up ten things that will absolutely make you laugh, cry, or pee. Possibly all three. Possibly all at once.
1. The Sound of Your Own Farts
Let’s not pretend. Pregnancy gas is on another level. It sneaks up. It sneaks out. It echoes in the shower. You laugh. Then you cry. Then you Google, "Is this normal?" (It is.)
"You haven’t truly lived until you farted mid-yawn and scared yourself."
2. The Magical Disappearing Feet Trick
One day you can see them. The next? They’re gone. Vanished. Lost to the bump. Are they still there? Who knows. Thank you, mirror and ra
Not seeing your feet is one thing. Putting on shoes? Now that’s a sport.
3. Watching an Ad with Puppies and Sobbing Like You Were Betrayed
You used to be chill. Now you’re crying because the puppy got adopted and the old man hugged it. THE PUPPY GOT A HOME, OKAY?
Is it hormones? Is it heart? Doesn’t matter. We’re emotional now. Embrace it.
4. Craving Pickles and Then Crying Because You Ate the Last One
Yes, you bought them. Yes, you devoured them. Yes, you’re now furious at Past You for being such a greedy snack goblin. Let’s all have a moment of silence for that final crunchy dill.
5. Peeing When You Laugh, Sneeze, Cough, Breathe Too Enthusiastically...
Your bladder is under siege. Gravity? Not your friend. You giggle, you tinkle. It's called preggle drizzle and it's real.
Wear dark leggings. Trust us.
6. The Way Emamaco Leggings Feel Like a Hug for Your Entire Life
When you slip them on, you don’t just feel supported — you feel understood. Like someone finally designed a legging that gets it. The belly, the b

7. Forgetting What You Were Saying Mid-Sentence and Just Staring Into the Void
Pregnancy brain is like someone unplugged your thoughts and plugged in a toddler with a kazoo. “What was I saying? Where’s my tea? Wait, did I pee or just think about peeing?”
8. Googling Every Tiny Sensation Like You’re Studying for a Pregnancy PhD
“Is it normal for my belly button to feel like it's going to pop off?” “Can a craving for cardboard be a sign of genius?” “What does it m
"Pregnancy: where every twinge is either gas or your uterus hosting a rave."
9. Talking to Your Bump Like It’s a Sassy Roommate
"Okay little bean, we’re gonna need you to stop doing backflips while I’m trying to fall asleep. Also, could you chill on my bladder for five minutes? Love you. Mean it."
10. The Absolute, Unapologetic Glam of It All
You’re glowing. You’re powerful. You’re eating cereal in bed with zero shame. You’re wearing oversized hoodies and feeling like a damn queen. This is your era. It might be weird, emotional, and leaky... but it’s yours.
So if you laughed? Cried? Peed a little while reading this? Congrats. You’re doing pregnancy exactly right.
Keep laughing through the bloating. Cry when you need to. Pee as often as your bladder demands. And always, always wear the good leggings.
You’re a walking miracle, babe. A hormonal, beautiful, snack-craving miracle. Never forget it.
