Let’s do a fun poll. Which is more difficult first trimester or end of third trimester? I’ll be 37 weeks with my second on Thursday and still think first trimester is harder even though I’m so uncomfortable after this point 🥴

Question

Answer

Definitely the third trimester for me! My first trimester I had it really good. I was never sick and didn’t feel many symptoms except for occasional cramping and aches. The third trimester has hit me harrrrrd. I’m always in pain and I’m also nauseous a lot of the time. Also having a huge belly can be hard haha because it just gets in the way of everything. Obviously I’m so happy that my baby is growing and he’s doing good but it’s definitely been a rough past couple of weeks!

Answer

First trimester x’s 1000000.  For me, in first trimester, I ache from the sudden hormone change and have to pee every 30 seconds the same as third trimester.  I also get wicked insomnia, the worst morning sickness, have no clue if my baby is alive inside of me or not, hormone exhaustion, mood swings from the rapid hormone changes, etc.  I’ll take the aches, pains, and frequent wake ups over that any day.  If I worry about baby, a cold glass of orange juice tells me what’s going on in there 😂 plus there’s the joy in knowing it’s nearly over and my baby will be in my arms soon

Answer

Third trimester for me. This heartburn, insomnia, pelvic pain, sore bladder, painful baby movements(due to me being small I feel everything), emotional, and backache is having me ready to cry. I am ready to have this little boy so I can have my body back.

Answer

Third trimester for me! I was sick & tired the entire first trimester, & now it came back except I’m huge through it now. 😂 I could at least get comfortable in the first trimester to rest, now? Absolutely not. I don’t rest I just struggle through it.

Answer

Third whewwww... I'm swollen and on my feet all day. I'm so hungry, I don't know what to do with myself. Like if I gain anymore weight, I may just burst into tears. My child hurts me when he moves. I have to pee constantly. I could go on... and on and on.. lol.

Answer

It’s a close call, but first trimester I was so so sick and being nauseated is the absolute worst feeling, so I’d rather relive the third regardless of the physical pains of the end of the third trimester.

Answer

While I’m in considerably more pain right now at 36+3, I can’t stand the nausea and exhaustion of the first trimester! It is sooooo draining. 😩

Answer

First trimester in general for me - but been struggling the last few weeks this time just because my toddler has hit a sleep regression 😴

Answer

So far, the third trimester has been most difficult for me. I haven’t been able to sleep comfortably in weeks due to fluid retention in my hands and a lot of carpal tunnel in my hands when I sleep as well! He’s also getting into position already I feel constant pressure In the pelvic region. My first trimester was so smooth! Just tender breasts really and a little bloating. Nothing near what this last trim has given me.

Answer

All three trimesters were the same level of difficult. I’m so ready to be done with this pregnancy.
