Last week when I swam, I noticed a marked decrease in lung capacity. Usually, I breathe every third stroke, but I had to go to every other stroke for nearly every lap. I gave up flip turns long ago.
My belly is protruding much more than at this stage last time. I believe I've gained about the same amount of weight, but since everything has been stretched out before, it puffed out sooner instead of holding everything in and pushing it sideways.

Week 18
I'm at 18.5 weeks. After the nausea (but not vomiting) and fatigue of the first trimester ended around week 13, workouts were much easier and more enjoyable. In the past week, however, I have experienced a step-function increase in weight (about three pounds over the past two weeks to 143 lbs) and slowing in times (2 min slower on a formerly 45-min run and 3 min slower on a formerly 52-min bike ride). Just yesterday, I had to modify my weightlifting routine for the first time, swapping out diagonal crunches for side-lying ones instead.
