When does pregnancy get hard ?

[mamamiaa26]

my second pregnancy I can’t remember my first as was so young but I had first trimester sickness but since 3 months passed I been fine like normal does it stay this way or does it get hard I am 24 weeks, I hear so many people moaning about it and how hard it is still early days for me

I thought pregnancy got better not worse! I felt so sick and tired near the beginning but was then swimming 60 laps of a pool a few times a week right up till the end. It's different for everyone but hopefully you'll have an easy time of it.

Everyone's different, so it really depends! I wasn't sick at all, but the 3rd trimester was harder towards the end. I ended up with carpal tunnel which was very painful. It was around 33 weeks iirc.

I had awful morning sickness until around 20 weeks, but I've basically been fine since (now 38 weeks). Sleeping pattern is a bit off because I keep waking to go to the loo, bit weepy and my anxiety is all over the place - but physically fine. I think some people just have harder pregnancies than others - there are people in my yoga class who are really struggling with hips/back pain at 25 weeks. 😬

(And no, yoga is not the answer to my success! Started two weeks ago after mad panic about my pelvic floor being shot to bits as I haven't done the exercises 🤦🏼‍♀️)

Depends on the pregnancy 🤷🏻‍♀️

I had hyperemesis gravidarum with my first. Remember clearly thinking it would be easier to just die than carry on like that. I was vomiting right up to her being born, hospitalised 6 times during the pregnancy. So it was hell for the entire time.

Second pregnancy I felt a lot like you.
Felt a bit sick and nauseous in the first trimester, but after that it was pretty plain sailing. Felt mostly fine for all of it.

Third baby was bigger than the first two, and I really struggled with pelvic girdle pain late in the second trimester and all through the third. Was also completely exhausted for all of it because I had 2 toddlers to take care of at the same time.

Some people have harder pregnancies than others.

My first was really easy, I was still running until a couple of weeks before I have birth.

With my second I had a lot of pain in my hips and pelvis from about 30 weeks, I think it was called SPD and was miserable.

I don’t think there’s any rule! I was quite sick in the first trimester and had some SPD issues, but to be honest, I don’t think I gave my pregnancy much thought at all until I was nearly at full term!

Pregnant with my 2nd now and I’ve been very lucky. I’m currently nearly 38weeks (with a 2.8 yr old!) and I’d say it’s just in the past week or so I’ve felt very tired and struggling a bit.
