17 weeks

These are kind of true for my 2nd one...( extracted from Babycentre)

Second trimester sleep: enjoy it while you can By now your body will be adjusting to its sudden hormonal and physical changes, and you can sleep more peacefully as a result -- barring a few sleep disturbances such as leg cramps, weird dreams, and bouts of congestion, of course! Yet at the same time as your sleep is improving, your sudden energy renewal may mean that you don't want or need the extra shut-eye. Life's so unfair!

Your tiredness starts to lift

The chances are that you're sleeping better now than you have done in months. That's because the influx of progesterone that started when you became pregnant has tapered down to a steady drizzle. So although your hormone levels are still rising, it's happening more slowly now, so you'll probably be feeling less tired than you did during the first months.

Fewer trips to the bathroom

More good news: your baby is now positioned above your bladder, so you won't be scurrying for the bathroom as often as you have been. Morning sickness has probably passed, too. (Not quite true for this one.. still having the morning bouts in my case) Your second trimester isn't called the honeymoon phase for nothing!
