Easy pregnancy all the way through

[Jaydemeehan33]

Hello ladies, I'm 31 weeks pregnant on Friday and I literally have had such a nice and amazing pregnancy.. I only had one week at the very start of my pregnancy when I was sick, I've literally had nothing else no more sickness, heartburn, stretch marks normal skin (although it's quite dry due to being a bit low in iron) is this normal or am I just being silly because I expected pregnancy to be so much harder? Has anyone else had easy pregnancies with perfect babies and it's just a dream pregnancy? 🤩🤩

Easy pregnancy, quick birth. Baby screamed non stop for 4 months and still hasn't slept through at 18 months good luck

Thanks again ladies, I don't mind hearing about the ' bad labor' 'hard baby' stuff lol as I will love him unconditionally and sometimes you just have to get the bad with the good.. I am so excited as am only 20 years old lol still quite young but me and Mr partner are sooo excited and have so much support

And thanks for the good luck but I think you need it more 😁🍷

That's lovely , all the best you will have to come back on and update us 😀

Ha! I had the easiest pregnancy with my first. Not a sniff of nausea, no other issues, felt great. I remember when I was about eight months gone, my feet swelled up and one of my friends who was pregnant at the same time and had endured morning sickness, tiredness, anaemia etc said ‘well I’m glad you’ve finally got an ailment!’

I CRINGE about this now, but I actually started to believe that I was somehow ‘made’ for pregnancy/motherhood and that my easy ride was some sort of portent or sign.

Had an ok birth, but the problems started soon after. Baby would NOT breastfeed, leading to several weeks of desperately trying to rectify the situation. All of my many attempts were futile and I found it all extremely upsetting at a very vulnerable time. Even after I admitted breastfeeding defeat, my baby was so ARSEY. She cruised all the time and was incredibly hard work for about the first two years of her life!

That taught me.

Postscript: she’s ace now. But it was a big, hard lesson to learn!

Obviously I’m sure it’s possible to have an easy pregnancy and a chilled baby, but unfortunately it’s not a given so prepare yourself for the fact your luck may change.

*CRIED, not ‘cruised’!

I do believe that could happen me, and I've accepted that.. I know just because I've had it good up until now does not mean I will have a perfect baby, Labour or last few weeks am not stupid, but I will take whatever comes with all I've got as I know babies are not easy work, but I'm sure it will all work out in the end 😁

And by me saying 'perfect baby' I don't mean that my baby won't be perfect because he'll be perfect to me I just mean sleeping feeding etc wise lol

Easy pregnancy, easy & fast labour, baby is 19 weeks and has also been easy so far, so it can happen. Just never take it for granted as I'm v aware she could turn into devil baby at any moment!

I’ve had the worst pregnancy.
Bleed since 13 weeks. Have gallstones and acid reflux.
Been in and out of hospital getting fluid ana it in infusions
Just in constant pain... had to finish work 6 weeks early couldn’t physically manage.
Can’t drive it even walk the dog just now am 34 weeks and I have a heart shaped womb so they are giving me a section at 38 weeks.... upsets me as I’ve done nothing but cry the whole time.

Hope he is a good wee baby 🤞🤞

I had a very easy first pregnancy. Then I had a nightmare of a delivery (life or death run down the corridor to the theatre c-section). Everyone was fine, but ds1 didn’t sleep for the better part of 2 years. He’s turned into a delightful big kid now though.

Second pregnancy was extremely challenging in a whole variety of ways. Complications (breech + Cholestasis + previous c-section) required another c-section but it was a completely different experience as it was planned. Ds2 has been a much easier baby and toddler.

My first pregnancy was amazing had no symptoms had a terrible birth .
Second pregnancy was amazing and so was the birth
I'm currently pregnant with DC 3 and the whole pregnancy had been awful
Sickness ,heartburn,insomnia,leg cramps all night ,had bleeding in the beginning as well im 32 weeks and it's not getting easier all worth it though but I'm pretty sure this will be my last pregnancy couldn't go through it again.

Okay thanks for the stories yet again but I don't really appreciate the 'life or death' stories as I'm a young 20 year old girl having her first baby.. Talk about a way of scaring someone!

I don't really see the point of your post. Good for you that you are having an easy pregnancy, but this really is the easy part - it's the labour and looking after a newborn that are tricky.

Also there are no 'perfect' babies, all babies fuss, cry, wake through the night, projectile vomit and have poo explosions at some point that's what babies are about, they are not little dolls

Okay well if you don't see the point of my post why comment?? And yes I do know babies are not perfect I already said that.. But mine will be perfect to me no matter what okay?😁 I'm not stupid as I said before, so thanks for pointing that out lol some people have kids and think they know it alllll🤣🤣🤣

Well you kept implying that you wanted a perfect baby who would sleep and feed perfectly...I think people who have had babies before do know more than people who haven't, isn't that obvious?

First one was easy! No stretch marks, went into hospital at 10cm, popped her out a couple of hours later, slept through the night from 6 weeks 🙌🏼

Second one was easy until 35 ish weeks, got heartburn and stretch marks 😭 (thought I’d got away with that one), labour was fine, had time to get an epidural which was glorious. Still not sleeping through at 5 months, but I can’t complain, he’s a cool little guy!

Everyone is different, and every pregnancy is different, so lovely for you that it’s going well, I’m sure you’ll love it till the end/the contractions ramp up 😅 That first maternity leave is a wonderful time, enjoy!!

Welo I'm sorry but who doesn't want a baby who sleeps and feeds perfectly hahahhahahayay 😅😅😅😅 but I don't care if he doesn't yeah? Once he is healthy is all I care for now bye 😁

My first pregnancy was “easy”, had a straightforward water birth with no additional pain relief/intervention or stitches (long and tiring though!) and apart from being an nightmare sleeper she was a relatively easy baby and a sweet toddler.

This time round it’s been a bit harder, more tiredness and a little nausea, also lots of anxiety due to a MMC in between but no major issues. Hoping for a good birth again but it’s the luck of the draw. Hope your labour and birth go well OP, when you are pregnant people love to tell you horror stores but there are good ones too.

And yeah people who have not had children before can know how hard it is? How do you know if I don't have brother or sisters that I've had to rare on my own?

Sorry, I seem to have riled you a bit, I'll leave the thread. Good luck hun

My first was smooth sailing till 28 weeks when I developed SPD 😩 managed to get about ok until birth and then it disappeared. Developed SPD within weeks of getting pregnant with DS. Both were c sections - emcs for DD so that wasn't the smoothest of births. Then DD never slept during the day🤷🏽‍♀️

No way, everyone's stories are literally all so different love hearing about them 🥰🥰 hope every woman rn pregnant has blessed pregnancies ✨✨✨

I loved my pregnancy and labour was so nice and easy. No sickness no heartburn nothing. And then labour was so nice and easy. Fingers crossed for you that you have a nice easy pregnancy and labour. X
