Should I take it easy?

Question

My daughter is 4 Months Old and I’m 14 Weeks pregnant with our second and we took her to the zoo yesterday because it was really nice outside. Anyway, today my back hurts and my hips keep popping. I guess that’s a sign I should probably take it easy? The last time i had this little back ache, I was going into labor 🤭

Answer

My boys were 10.2 months apart and I felt like my pelvic bone was literally going to break as soon as I hit my 2nd trimester! It actually did crack around 36 weeks and I had him a week later, I couldn’t even walk, sit down, lay down, nothing without it hurting. The only relief I ever got was taking a bath and as soon as I got out of the tub the pain would come right back... it was awful but these little boys are soooo close and love eachother like crazy 💕

Answer

Second pregnancies are notoriously harder. Especially back to back like that. My kids are 16 mos apart and my hips and back hurt the entire pregnancy. At he end it hurt to move or walk. Take Tylenol and a bath. And rest for a day. No need to take it easy if you aren’t high risk.
