hard to push

I bought a M&P switch in august and am recently finding it very difficult and heavy to push with my small 26mo DD. Is it just that I am 33 weeks pregnant? Have other people found this? It is particularly hard to push in Debenhams. To me it almost feels like the wheels are sticking and it either doesn't want to change direction or goes against me. I feel like I am fighting it. Also find it difficult to tip up kerbs etc.
I also have petite star zia and finding this hard to push and the handles too low, granted my change bag pushes it down a bit but even without that I am struggling.
I ALSO have a mothercare trenton deluxe which was my first pram, not used it fro ages but i remember it being easy to push. Is jsut big and heavy to get in/out of the car now I am also a big, heavy weakling.
Is it just me?

you need to clean the wheels out. As you push, dirt and dust can get trapped, which makes them stick so you need to take them off, give them a bloody ggod clean, lubricate and pop back on.

My wheels were getting jammed. Took them off and cleaned them, now good as new.

have heard that switches are v.heavy with anything over than newborn so you're doing well with 2yr old in it!!
