Second pregnancy harder?

Question

It’s not as bad as my first when it comes to sickness but worse as in physical discomfort/pain esp in my uterus! I read somewhere pregnancy is usually harder on your body as you age but idk how true that is.
I’m only 14 weeks and my uterus is so uncomfortable/heavy feeling. And I don’t remember it being thiiiis uncomfortable with my first lol
Anyone else?

Answer

I think it’s hard in different ways. I got so much bigger so much faster the second time, and the exhaustion was WAY worse because I don’t have any free time to rest bw working full time and chasing my toddler. But I know what to expect and what things feel like, so there’s a lot less anxiety this time.

Answer

Agree! 29 and 22 weeks pregnant with our 3rd. This one has by far been my hardest.  I think chasing two little ones around you don’t get rest and your body is stretched out from carrying 2 babies already.  My first was a breeze, my second wasn’t terrible but by 3rd trimester I couldn’t sleep comfortable at all. My whole body hurt.

Answer

I agree that it's harder in different ways. Having to tend to a toddler while pregnant was definitely more exhausting. I had sciatic pain with my second which made thngs harder. I'm  lucky I never really carried big so that wasnt too much of an issue, but i definitely slowed down the further along i got. 
The responsibility and concerns are different. I'm currently 19w5d with number 3 and there are times i forget I'm pregnant  becaue i have a 4.5 yr old and a 2 yr old at home. I feel more pressue this time  than with  my previous  pregnancies. Just do what you can don't  stress yourself. 
Enjoy your pregnancy

Answer

I just turned 29 and I’m 17 weeks with my fourth baby and so far all of my pregnancies have been good. Each pregnancy is harder on the body. But I notice the only thing is my uterus will hurt a little more but nothing that is painful. ❤️

Answer

I’m in my third pregnancy and each one has been harder on my body. I’m 35 though, so that’s “older” for pregnancy so who knows of that has anything to do with it. Symptoms have been stronger and have started earlier each time.

Answer

You can feel Braxton Hicks and ligament pain earlier and earlier with each baby.  That might be part of your discomfort.  I cramped more with each pregnancy too 😩 my second was actually my easiest pregnancy though 😂
