What was your worst pregnancy symptom and trimester?

[Rnm62]

Just curious what your worst pregnancy symptom was. Also, what trimester did you find the most difficult. Thanks. X

1st pregnancy - the insomnia from about half way through. I've never been so tired.

2nd pregnancy - piles and constant mum guilt

Food aversions and the smell of food cooking make me feel ill.. have went off meat and coffee and even freshly washed clothes still make me feel a bit queasy cause of the smell of washing powder...I was worse between weeks 6-8 but am now 13 weeks and nausea has come back :( xx

Oh yes @lauren! I had to stop using fairy non bio. Just couldn't stand it. Not gone back to it either.

First and third trimesters I have had awful nausea and sickness. The intensity of the nausea and sickness isn't as bad in the 3rd trimester but I'm finding it harder to cope with. I'm not sure if that is because it's summer and warmer or if my body needs more from me.

Second trimester I had bruised/cracked rib (s) and bruised sternum from a high impact car accident which made me very uncomfortable. I also had awful acid reflux sipping water made me cry! Omperazole has resolved this though.

Otherwise I have had a fair straightforward pregnancy, when I have the energy I can be quite active, I have to take lots of breaks but I have learnt to listen to the signs so have more frequent shorter beaks rather than doing too much and then unable to do anything for the rest of the day. I haven't really had joint pain and not in too much discomfort. We moved our TV to the guest room last week so I can lie down when we are watching tv as she thinks the evening is the perfect time to get nestled under my ribs!

Ooooh it’s a toss up between the HG and nausea I had in the 1st/2nd trimester, and the PGP I’ve developed in the 3rd 😬

3rd trimester both times. Big bumps so hard to move around, breathlessness, insomnia, very hot, carpal tunnel syndrome both hands, leg cramps. Found the 1st and 2nd trimesters a breeze but I suffer in the last few weeks
