How hard has your pregnancy been?

Hello, I was just wondering how hard pregnancy has been for everybody else. Me personally it has been very hard.  I'm 29 weeks and 1 day with a baby boy. Has that made a difference for second time moms when their second child is a different gender?

This is my first pregnancy and morning sickness only have actually thrown up 3times but nauseaous til this day. Im 20wks and 4days its a girl. And oo gosh the hospital trips ive taken. In my first trimester i would literally break into tears if no one would eat with me or sit with me as i ate. Then i fell at work. Its been rough but smooth cant complain much. Ive been gettin my hands. feet, ankles since i was 9wks and just on monday the doctor told me to expect a two month early delivery due date cause of the fact of my high risk

I'm a ftm. And honestly I can say pregnancy is not easy at all. Everything is just so painful. Back hurts, pelvic hurts, sleepless nights, headache, fatigue, hormones and more.  Especially now, it feels like my vj is gonna fall off. Bathroom trips at night is the worst.  I can't wait this to be over. Overall I am pretty blessed.   37 weeks here btw.

This is my second pregnancy but the first didn't carry to term. To put it easily I've been miserable up until last week (week 18)  I had a lot of morning sickness and mood swings and food aversion and  lost ten pounds. But then last week my morning sickness eased up considerably and my hormones seem to be leveling out somewhat. I'm dealing with a sprained back which hasn't been easy at all, but I find positivity helps deal with it.

Used to be I couldn't wait to get my baby boy out, but now I want to be pregnant with him longer lol but I'm sure by the time my due date comes I'll definitely want him out again. My first few weeks were a breeze, but by the time I was 2 or 3 months everything just all came at me. Zofran has become my best friend lol that and the bathroom.

Mine has been horrible. I have a 7 5 & 4 year old. Lol. They want to test mommy as much as they can. I recently moved as well. Not so much the morning sickness but the constant aches. Pains. Preterm labor twice nd contractions yhat arent going anywhere since week 34. Drama from "sperm donar" fiancée not understanding I am exhausted. Worked full time up til a few weeks ago. I'm exhausted. I'm over it. Lol. I'm so close nd it seems so far away. Lol.

I thought the first trimester of my first pregnancy was harder but the second half of my second pregnancy was harder.

DelainaN me too! I get so tired I get loopy in the middle of the day and have to take a nap like it or not usually every day or every other day. And nauseous every day or every other. Middle to end of second trimester brought on the mood swings lol and just been getting worse. Not more frequent though at least only once or twice a week. And third trimester also brought back pain :( but at least at the end I get my little miracle! :) Congrats on your ladies bundles of joy!

This is my first, I'm having a boy. I had no sickness in the beginning at all, was nauseous for 3 days that's it. I have lost 25 lbs and gained back 6 of it. No swelling, hardly any back pain....needless to say it has been super smooth. The only problem.s I've had was I started getting braxton hicks contractions at about 25 weeks, I have had sore legs since like 23 weeks, got carpal tunnel at 18 weeks and woke up this week (32 weeks) with my face broken out!! Lol. But, I have no complaints for it being my first pregnancy! :))
