Hard pregnancy - Am I horrible?

Question

I am having such a hard pregnancy. My energy is depleted I haven’t been able to take any walks since week 4 without running out of breath shortly. My morning sickness is still lingering at 24 weeks. I run out of breath I get sick and vomit. I sleep non stop when I am not at work. I’m so happy to be pregnant but man I am hating the symptoms. My friend is judging me so much saying I need to be active, I just can’t. I’m so drained. I read the second trimester was supposed to be easy but I feel like the just never ended lol. I’m just wanting to know I am not alone. I know I should be enjoying this and loving growing my baby but I’m just having such hard symptoms.

Answer

Pregnancy is harder for some than others and some pregnancies are harder than others even to the same mom. My first I was sick the whole way through and felt god awful. I resented being pregnant then felt guilty over it but the second the baby was out I was instantly in love. Second pregnancy was so much easier it’s not funny but I was a lot more tired. Current pregnancy I was sick til 25 weeks and felt terrible and finally it ended. I haven’t been able to walk much due to severe sciatica and also the weather where I’m at being so cold I can’t bring my kids with me.

Answer

You are not alone at all. Pregnancy is VERY difficult and takes a toll on us. I love my boys but I honestly hate being pregnant. It is extremely hard on my body and no, I haven't been able to be active but you will be ok. This is a short season that shall pass and will be soon hugging your baby. Focus on listeningto YOUR body, not the expectations of others.

Answer

27 weeks and I have a zofran pump that gives me nausea medicine 24/7 and I take two additional nausea pills and I’m still vomiting every so often. I’m tired and my back hurts it’s okay to love your baby and even the miracle that is creating a child and hate pregnancy. It’s all good mama, we have to take it one day at a time and wait to embrace our littles.

Answer

I am 26 weeks and struggling also. While I’m thankful to be pregnant this pregnancy has absolutely drained me worse than my first.

Answer

Everyone’s pregnancy is different. You shouldn’t be judged on how you feel and what you’re experiencing. Has your doctor or someone given any advice to help lighten your symptoms?

Answer

I’m 25 weeks with twin girls, and I am seriously struggling. The morning sickness was all day with me up until about 20 weeks, I’d puke 10-12 times a day, and I still puke if I don’t take unisom nightly. I’ve gained 28 pounds my legs are getting insane varicose veins from all the extra weight. I was very physically active before this pregnancy, doing HIIT and using treadmill everyday, now I can barely crawl on my treadmill at 3.5 mph pace and my back hurts so bad if I do it’s just hardly even worth it. And i still have 12 weeks to go. I’d say this pregnancy blows, but I’m so grateful to be pregnant. So I get it lol
