Hi everyone,

I have just recently found out i'm pregnant with my 3rd baby

I have also now been told 3rd pregnancy's are the worse, more aches pains and stretching?

Is this true?

And also did you feel worse in the first trimester, at the mo i feel fine ( i dont tend to get many symptoms) and was woundering if it was the calm before the storm lol.

My third pregnancy was almost identical to my first. My second pregnancy was the best of the lot. But I think that all pregnancies are different and no way of knowing how it will go.

I have got gradually more pre-labour time, but it was not that much more and probrably more down to me being more aware than actually being any worse. The labours themselves got shorter and compensated greatly!!!

I am now on my 12th pregnancy (only 3 live births) and they have all been different in terms of symptoms. I no longer pay any attention to symptoms or lack of them!! Every pregnancy is different.

My 3rd pregnancy I had period pain style cramps on and off the ENTIRE time which I didn't have the first 2 times. But as for all other pregnancy aches and pains I definitely had less of them 3rd time around.

Congrats.

my 3rd was easiest by miles, if that helps! not least because i knew for sure that it was my last so i think i savoured it more

Oh brilliant that is good to know, Seams everyone likes to just freak you out.

It's strange i can't remeber when my symptoms started and what i had , so this time (being more nervous, due to a recent mc) im woundering if everything is ok and if ache and pain is normal.

Congratulations!
My 3rd was lovely.
My 1st I have hypremisis and spd the 2nd I had a brain bleed and spd from 12 weeks with the 3rd I sailed through finally felt the pregnancy glow and had a lovely quick labour (under 2.5 hrs and she was 9lb 13). Also the age gap between 1-2 is 19 mths and 2-3 is 14mths so apparently I was warned it was be a hard pregnancy - by the midwife.
It was soo nice Im 34 wks preg with no 4 and having a nightmare.
Good luck.

I had no awful symptoms with my third, my second was the worst the third and so far this one havent been too bad.

Hi, I'm 8.5wks pg with no 3. I'm finding this early stage VERY difficult. It was absolutely not this hard with 1st 2. Just hoping I perk up over the next few wks! Mind you I do have a 2 yrs old and 11month old to keep up with to, maybe that's why it's so much harder?

Hi I am 28 weeks 3rd pregnacy and felt this one was the same in terms of sickness, but maybe more strech pains and aches. My pelvic floor muscles are defenitely not as strong! Also feel a lot more tired because I have a 2 1/2 and a 4 year old.
