Pregnancy Memes: Hilarious Memes New Moms Need in Each Trimester
What are the stages of pregnancy?
As you track your pregnancy week by week, you likely know what size fruit your baby is or what should happen on your pregnancy trimester timeline. Sometimes, though, you need a relatable laugh from pregnancy memes for each trimester. Here they are to get you through when the weeks feel like years and the symptoms feel unrelenting.
We know every pregnancy is different, but there are a lot of changes to expect as you go through each month and week of pregnancy, so here are some laughs to help you through.
First Trimester of Pregnancy Memes
The first trimester is the land of morning sickness, tender breasts, increased visits to the bathroom and probably a lot of fatigue. Your body is creating a human, so that’s cool. As this happens you’ll have a roller coaster of emotions that impact your body in many different ways. Is your partner calling you moody while you are running to the bathroom trying to decide if you need to pee or puke next? Might be time to take that pregnancy test.
I knew I was pregnant the moment I tried to eat hot sauce and peanut butter in the same bite… and it was confirmed by the pink lines shortly after. Some women notice pregnancy symptoms before a missed period, some can go weeks without realizing they are pregnant. Either way, each journey is filled with some surprise and a variety of emotions as you prepare for this big change.

Second Trimester of Pregnancy Memes
The second trimester brings a growing belly and boobs and is sometimes accompanied by new aches and pains (charlie horses drove me wild!), skin changes, dental changes, and more. It is also when most moms start to experience the baby kicks. Some even call it the “golden” trimester but that’s still out for your own interpretation. I remember the second trimester as more energy, more cravings and more heartburn. Oh, and leggings. Lots of leggings. Check out some of my favorite clothes for pregnancy and beyond.
Third Trimester of Pregnancy Memes
While the third trimester is the last trimester of pregnancy, that doesn’t mean it feels quick. The third trimester is the start of braxton-hicks cramping, often back aches, swelling and that frequent urination again. I remember the third trimester being back and forth- days when I tried to sit back and soak it up and days I just wanted pregnancy to be over. And still, lots of leggings.
When you’re moving through the trimesters of pregnancy and preparing for birth remember no two pregnancies are the same and in the midst of it all, find some time and space to laugh.
The Fourth Trimester
Wait, another trimester? The fourth trimester is the time after you have your baby. This refers to the baby adjusting to life outside of the womb and the mom's recovery. We love all things life after baby here at Postpartum Together and you can find lots of stories in the Postpartum category. During this time you also have a postpartum check up to make sure you are healing and adjusting!
