Anyone else think their 2nd pregnancy is rougher then the 1st?

Question

pregnancy is rougher then the 1st?" /> Mine has been rougher then the first for sure! My first was a girl, this one is a little boy!

Answer

Me lol! Had a girl, she's 2.5 years old and having a boy. Feeling harder on my body

Answer

Yes I have 3 kids and each has been harder but I think it's because you're busy taking care of your little ones so you're more tired and more ware on your body and muscles.

Answer

Yes and I can't tell exactly why but I think that for my first pregnancy I was still working FT so I was sitting most of the day. This time around I'm a FTM chasing after a toddler all day and it's exhausting in itself so being pregnant makes it more so. My nausea and tiredness didn't go away until 20 weeks. I have had awful round ligament pains but overall it's not that bad. The positives this time around are that I haven't gained as much weight, I found a good position to sleep so my hips aren't throbbing, and I have hardly any reflux. :)

Answer

I'm having a boy and I have never been so miserable in my life.. I've heard boys are worse from all my mom friends and other people. I don't know for sure though bc this is my first pregnancy lol. Hope it gets better for you! I'm 24 weeks and still throwing up 😭

Answer

Had a girl first with no issues. Having a boy now and relatively the same except overall just more tired (but that could also be because this pregnancy I'm working FT and also caring for an 8yo haha)

Answer

With my first I was working full time, I wasn't sick (very rarely if anything) wasn't tired, felt good and this time I had horrible morning sickness, very tired, no motivation whatsoever so chasing a 2 1/2 year old around all day has me worn out and I'm only 20 weeks. It's only gonna get worse from here 😂

Answer

Both of my pregnancies symptom wise are pretty smooth sailing. No nausea or vomiting ! I really love being pregnant! Gained way less with this pregnancy than with first one but my son is way bigger now then my daughter was so they think they might induce early! I have anterior placenta with him but he's so active I have been feeling him move since 10 weeks! Now at 34 weeks my whole belly is moving like crazy all day lol.. and I have bad bad heartburn with him but medication helps a lot... 
and lastly running after my toddler is getting harder lol

Answer

My first pregnancy was great I lost weight, didn't have cravings, no morning sickness nothing. When it came to labor it was 40+ hrs I did it with no meds or epi all fucking natural and it sucked I was in so much pain I pushed for 2.5 hrs and he was out. 
My second pregnancy was kinda like my first didn't have cravings, lost weight, no morning sickness nothing. When I hit 20 weeks she was sitting on my nerves and it made it impossible to move, I would cry just lifting my leg on the couch or getting in the car I begged, cried and pleaded with my doc to induce me. When it was time my labor was 9 hrs total, I got the epi this time and all the meds I could get lol I pushed for 20 min and she was out!!
So I would say my first labor compared to my second sucked.

Answer

Yea mine was too but I also got pregnant at 5 months postpartum so my body hadn't healed fully.
