How's your pregnancy going compared to your first?

Question

I'm curious how the comparison is for other mamas. For me, my first was incredibly difficult and painful pretty much the whole time. But this time around I'm at 20 weeks now and only just now starting to get aches and pains. It's been night and day and a huge relief!

Answer

I’m almost 29 weeks with my second and I’m miserable. With my first I felt great and didn’t get uncomfortable until the last month. This time around I’ve been in pain for months. From pelvic pain to headaches. Sleep is horrible. I can’t lay on my side because my ribs hurt. I can’t lay in my back because then I can’t breathe so every 2 minutes I’m changing positions and I’m super nauseous and get stomach aches constantly. And then there’s the back pain. This one’s definitely harder and not as enjoyable.

Answer

My first was easy the only problem I had was at 8months when I got bellspalsy that resolved before he was born. The second time around I was sick and couldn't eat anything, I've had more aches and pains that I didn't with the first and possibly Braxton hicks which I also didn't have the first time around. My insomnia has been worst near the end as well. 39 weeks
My second though has moved around more then my first ever did so thats been nice. Though poor hubby both times has only felt each kid move once during the whole pregnancies.

Answer

I am 20 weeks along with my second and I’m noticing I am a lot more uncomfortable at this point than I was with my first. Not sure if it’s because I’m 3 years older or if my ligaments are stretching more quickly causing pain, or both.

Answer

My first was a breeze, this time around I was hurting alot more and that last month was horrible. I am in my middle 30s so that may have also contributed to alot of the aches and pains😂
