I loved being pregnant with my DD and was so excited to be pregnant again. But I’m hating it. I had terrible sickness that was replaced at 13 weeks with awful heartburn that is just relentless. I’ve got horrendous restless legs. Varicose veins. Had pelvic girdle pain from 18 weeks which is getting worse. Can’t walk some days. Painful cramps in legs in the middle of the night. I could go on.... I seem to be getting every shitty pregnancy symptom going. Just waiting for haemorrhoids to finish the set.
I’m finding it so hard to get excited about this baby as I feel so rubbish. Then I feel awful and guilty as the poor little thing is already on the back foot compared to its sibling and it’s not their fault. I know the most important thing is a healthy baby at the end but I’m struggling to keep sight of it.
Anyone else had an awful second pregnancy? Please tell me it was all forgotten when your little one arrived? It’s really starting to get me down and I’ve got 13 weeks to go.
