Some women love pregnancy—bless you, glowing mamas—and other women, well, we really struggle through the 10 months. For me, especially after a rough first pregnancy filled with a love-hate relationship with food and the toilet, it was easy to mentally dread any other future pregnancies.
It doesn’t help that there’s often an idea in our heads of how pregnancy is supposed to go. Cue the dream-like montage: a joyful journey to conceiving, a dainty dry-heave or two in the first trimester , all the cute maternity clothes , and a smooth birth. If you’ve been pregnant, you know this is more the exception than the rule. However, not all babies and therefore not all pregnancies are created the same. Here’s the story of two pregnancies: Both have a healthy baby at the end (thank goodness), but they were very different.
This pregnancy had a vendetta against me from the beginning. As soon as the perfect two lines revealed a positive pregnancy test, I had developed a close-knit relationship with the toilet. From the moment I could snooze my alarm and stumble into the bathroom, I stayed there until I could find a break from tossing my non-eaten cookies into the bowl. I felt completely hopeless as I spent most of my non-vomiting moments kneeled over and begging for relief. I crossed my fingers hoping somehow, as most people said, my morning sickness —but really all day sickness—would disappear by the end of the first trimester.
No such luck, as my nausea and vomiting carried into the next trimester. But the ultrasound comes with the second trimester, when I breathed a cautionary sign of relief and transitioned into the next stage of pregnancy. The second trimester was also when I felt more comfortable taking prescription medication for my intense morning sickness. Even though I wanted to power through, it was not possible.
I crossed my fingers hoping somehow, as most people said, my morning sickness—but really all day sickness—would disappear by the end of the first trimester.
Through the help of my anti-nausea medication, I was able to transition back into working and functioning like a regular human being. However, what came along with being able to keep my food down was an intense and insatiable hunger. Since I was finally able to eat and enjoy food, I found myself craving and giving into greasy foods. And while plenty of women stay similar to their original size, I ballooned and gained a total of 65 pounds during my 38 weeks of pregnancy.
This meant growing two sizes larger in shoes, an entirely new emergency wardrobe, and intense swelling because of the weight gain. My partner found joy in making imprints on my legs like Play-Doh. The end of my pregnancy and weight gain also coincided with the height of summer heat—an experience that would have me swearing off having a summer baby again.
Besides an incredibly physically daunting pregnancy, my baby was healthy (a whole 8 pounds and 4 ounces of goodness) and had no complications. However, if I could do it again, I’d try to lay off the double cheeseburgers and chocolate shakes once I was able to keep food down. Still, I was perfectly happy waiting a good year or two before doing it all again. I was owning my new role as mama, pregnancy-free.
Something about the second pregnancy gives you a false sense of confidence. I had gone through one pregnancy, so I figured I knew what to expect. I mentally prepared for morning sickness, swelling, and exercising to avoid the heavy weight gain.
Wrong. Everything was different. Starting with the nausea, in my second pregnancy, I threw up a whopping two times. I had preordered my nausea medication after my first OBGYN appointment. Plot twist: I had basically no morning sickness whatsoever. I was entirely confused and remembering my previous experience, waking up every day wondering if today would be the day my body decided to betray me. Thankfully, it never happened.
I woke up every day wondering if today would be the day my body decided to betray me. Thankfully, it never happened.
Since this baby was conceived in the height of the pandemic , I had anticipated fewer doctor visits and ultrasounds simply because of precautions.
Wrong again. I ended up having multiple extra ultrasounds since our baby was measuring bigger and they wanted to double check my due date. After the follow-up appointment, they changed the due date by eight days. After the 20-week anatomy scan, we had to go to a cardiologist to get a fetal echo done. The deafening silence of the 20-week anatomy scan spooked me into assuming everything was going wrong. However, the cardiologists assured me that everything looked OK based on what they could currently see. We still had another follow-up ultrasound a few weeks later to ensure everything was measuring correctly. While externally, I seemed to be managing this pregnancy better, internally, every visit increased my overall anxiety for a healthy baby. I would even imagine trading in all the extra worry for all-day nausea.
Since there were uncertainties around our baby’s birth and health—and not to mention the stressors of carrying a baby during an “unprecedented time”—the relief I hoped to feel with a physically smoother pregnancy (while truly a blessing) felt short lived. There were other obvious benefits like seamlessly blending in with a loungewear obsessed society and spending more time at home nesting and together as a family. But the most important thing was our health, mine and the baby’s—even though it felt completely out of my control.
As the landscape of births changed drastically during the pandemic—masks, no visitors, quick discharges—the anticipation in the last few weeks of pregnancy quickly heightened. So much so that the second arrival was fast and furious, only reinforcing the reality that every pregnancy, birth, and baby are truly unique.
While every pregnancy is a gift, it’s incredibly hard not to compare yours to the Instagram mom who folds all her laundry and rocks a bump like it’s the cutest accessory. Even between your own pregnancies, comparison is inevitable, sometimes leading to the feeling that pregnancy is too hard and being discouraged in our own experiences. Honestly, there’s got to be a video archive of pregnant women saying they’d never do it again, only to be completely swooned by their baby at birth. Our pregnancies may not be the same, but the desire and anticipation of the newest addition definitely grows from experiencing one miracle to the next.
I didn’t even realize it would be possible to have such different pregnancies, and I’m completely thankful. I had dreaded a terrible morning sickness experience and the relief in the second pregnancy felt like a total gift in the midst of challenging year. This gives me hope for future pregnancies, and I want to encourage other moms who felt defeated by difficult pregnancies. Sometimes, redemption comes after a horrible experience, and at the end, we get to celebrate a new life. And carrying a new life, new beginning, and new legacy seems weighty and worth it, even if it is hard.

You received 5 Love Its. We like that.

So this is my first pregnancy and it has been so rough from awful morning sickness/all day sickness since the beginning and now im 22 weeks and it shows up not as much but still does show up once in a while. Headaches, no energy, insomnia, light headedness, diarrhea, constipation, and neck & back pain. It has just been awful and rough! anyone else? and I was in the hospital lastnight for dehydration.

Yup! This is my 2nd though, but both were really rough, that's why I'm done after this one. 1st got sick all day multiple times until week 20. This one sick until week 18, but still felt nauseous a lot. Was in the hospital with the stomach bug/dehydration. I have had high HCG with both and need extra u/s bc of it and now this time my placenta is also low. Haha. I'm also just really crappy feeling and tired all the time.

Sorry you are having a rough time too.

I have a previa placenta, and i am having another ultrasound tuesday to see if its moved! Im glad im not the only one having a rough pregnancy but im sorry that you are to:(

Yes. I finally started to feel better around the 22/23 week mark. I'm 26 weeks today.
I had the first kinda rough until 16weeks. Now I've got the second kinda rough too.
On the plus side to the second kind- I've got a perfectly valid excuse to stay in bed all day, cuddle my cats, read the bump, and have DH bring me tasty treats. Which makes any tiredness/nausea/headache style complaints much much easier to tolerate.
Cerclage, P17, and 3 months of bed rest brought us our Rainbow.

I have hyperemesis gravadarum and at 20 weeks still no relief...luckily my dr put a PICC in me so I can do all my fluids from home. I feel for you girls! Growing a human is no fun! (For some of us at least)

Im sorry youre having a hard time..

I hear ya! Part of the problem is that a lot of moms jump on the "pregnancy is so easy & beautiful" bandwagon that it makes others feel odd when it's not so easy. I enjoy the kicks and seeing my belly grow, but I have never been one to call it easy. I find it physically demanding and very stressful. I hope you start to feel better and know that you are not alone!

Ummm yes, some of us are in bad shape.

I'm really sorry you're having such a hard time. Hang in there!

You're definitely in a packed boat with those symptoms. I have hyperemesis and placenta previa as well, plus all the usual pregnancy suspects at a much more intense level than I did with DS last time around. 

Sorry to all the ladies going through some REAL sh*t with this pregnancy. I consider myself lucky. I never threw up but had horrible nausea that got worse as the day wore on (in bed as soon as I walked in the door). I blame the progesterone cause I felt better as soon as I could stop that. Now I have horrible pain in my right hip/leg when walking or driving but the Chiropractor my OB sent me to is helping me there. Other than that I'm loving feeling my very active baby! Hope things get better for others!

I don't know how you ladies do it, honestly. Stay strong!

This pregnancy has been much more "difficult" than the last. Have had the "kicked in vag" feeling for nearly a week now. DH thinks I'm kidding. Are we there yet?!

This is my first pregnancy and so far it has been one of the worst experiences of my life. I have hyperemesis, and had to have a PICC line placed. My body started rejecting it and I had hives and blisters up and down my arm. I've had it put in my other arm now so we'll see how it does. I'm tired all the time, and get terrible migraines. Because of all the meds I'm on, especially the Zofran I have to be on a laxative as well:-0 Pregnancy feels more like an illness to me at the moment, than a magical journey:(

My pregnancy with my daughter (now 5) was horrible because of hyperemesis, but this pregnancy has been just full on rough. I have constant migraines, zero energy and severe fatigue, and I’m just plain jealous of women who are having it “easy” (working out, still hanging out with friends, living life like normal, etc.)
I just felt the need to complain lol anybody feel the same? How are you doing it and still working full time? I feel like I’m on the verge of going part time but we’re way too poor for that 😅
So sorry you’re having a rough time - I really hope it gets easier!
Ugh, I just hit 17 weeks and have had a few days of feeling fairly normal after 4 months of being bedridden. I get the jealousy. I started getting really discouraged when I kept seeing posts of others feeling better. Not that I don’t want that for others, but I missed the feeling. I was worried I would be stuck feeling that way the whole time. It’s discouraging. I hope it gets better!
yes! this is my 4th. my other 3 pregnancies were "easy" and fairly worry free. (until I got pre eclampsia at the end of my 3rd pregnancy). I was tired, but not exhausted, I had mild nausea that would go away if I ate something, I had no health concerns. now my blood pressure is high and stressing me out, I had severe nausea, I lost weight cos I couldn't eat. exhausted the whole time. I've headaches every day and my back gets sore frequently. I'm finding this pregnancy so much harder physically. and as it was completely unplanned, and a total shock, its harder mentally too.
