OK, am 8 weeks pg with #2. Very much wanted. Have a lovely DS, who is 2.
Am feeling a million times worse this time round. Maybe it's just an impression, but my memories of my first pregnancy involve floating through it like a dream, no morning sickness, no real tiredness and at 9 months I just looked like I had a stuffed a pillow up my jumper.
This time round I feel like I've been pulled through a hedge backwards. Feel constantly like I'm about to be sick (no actual being sick as yet), am exhausted permanently, have trapped wind constantly (TMI, sorry!), feel weepy, can't really sleep properly etc.
Now this can't be because I have a toddler to look after, because I work F/T and I did last time too. Mind you, weekends are no longer a 'catch up on your sleep' time...
Did anyone else experience this? Is it because I am older now (only 2 years, so hardly decades)? is it because I might be having a DD?
