Moms who have already had babies: are subsequent pregnancies harder?

Question

Harder: feels like it takes a bigger tole in your body, you feel sleepier, you get sore throughout the day, feel like an old person, etc.

Answer

Each of my pregnancies has been harder than the one before it, but I have been in worse physical shape for each one too.  You also get less time to rest the more kids you already have

Answer

This is my third pregnancy, currently 32+1 weeks, and it is by far the worst, most painful and tiresome one.. But it has been 9 yrs since the last time I was pregnant and I am heavier than I've ever been so I'm sure that accounts for some of my pain...can't wait for it to all be over and finally hold my princess!!!

Answer

This is my third. I was in the best shape of my life pre pregnancy number three. This has by far been the worst. I've never wished a baby would come a little bit early until this one!

Answer

My first was a breeze. My second I had sciatic pain and my right leg would go numb for days at a time. Plus she moved a lot which caused so much pain. With my third I was swollen from 10 weeks until I was 4 weeks postpartum, like I could barely wear flip flops swollen. I was constantly hot and just miserable. With this baby my hip hurt, I have passed out twice and get dizzy easily. I have had BH contractions since 14 weeks and now have actual contracts most days. I can't breathe even sitting on the couch. And my hips/pelvis hurt so much!! Plus I still get sick.

Answer

This is my 3rd and it has been my worst one! We have two boys and my pregnancy were super easy, especially compared to this one!!! This one is a girl and don't know if that's why but she's our last one!

Answer

I took the time after my first to get into really good shape and I think that has made all the difference!

Answer

This pregnancy has been a doozy.   I'm not as fat as I was the last time but everything else has been he'll lol

Answer

This baby has killed me. I honestly think gender has a lot to do with it too. With my boy I had no sickness at all really except at night and that was only during the first trimester. With my daughter, I have been sick from day one. I'm 31 weeks and I'm still battling it. It's to the point I have lost 32 lbs this pregnancy.

Answer

This is my 3rd and a my first girl. I would say I'm more tired but I'm working 35+ a week. With my boys I was a stay at home mom so maybe that helped me too.
