Is your pregnancy hard too?

So starting out in my pregnancy I weighed 140 which was an okay weight for a 5'2 20year old. Then 3months of morning sickness and having to go to the hospital twice ended up bringing my weight down to 120 and I was 3months pregnant! I'm finally starting to gain weight but now came down with MONO... I just want to know if anyone else is having a hard time with pregnancy. Luckily I'm past my half way point and have a little over 4months left. I'm hoping things get easier.

Dont take this the wrong way. But gosh am I happy I'm not the only one suffering to bring my little one into this world. I'm hoping my last four months don't test my patience and pain tolerance to much but anything is worth it for my little girl.

Kendra- wow girl I feel for you. I can only say that sleeping wise body pillows might help. && try not to be depressed during those three months when I was rapidly loosing weight since I couldn't keep anything down I was really depressed being able to eat helps now though.

&& to all the others who posted thank you! I don't feel so alone, good luck to all of you!

I've been wanting to ask this very same question. I am 23 years old and 24 weeks expecting my 2nd child and this time its a boy:) My first pregnancy with my daughter was completely different than this one. I never had morning sickness and it was an overall great pregnancy. The only thing I had a problem with was 2 weeks before I delivered her I had such awful back pain and I couldn't sleep but I think that's normal. With this pregnancy, it has been so hard on my body. I had awful morning sickness until 4 1/2 months, I'm anemic and always get dizzy, I'm exhausted all the time, have trouble sleeping at night, have horrible backache since early in this pregnancy, I get out of breath just walking, and have severe kidney problems. I've been hospitalized and everything and the doctor said it's because of the way I'm carrying, the baby is in a position that's putting a block on my urinary tract. Because of this my kidneys do not function property and filter the the things my body doesn't use, and it's causing repetitive severe kidney infections even with antibiotics. He told me I could possibly have this the rest of my pregnancy:( so I'm pretty much always in pain. Due to all the problems I've been having it's made me so down and a little depressed because I never feel good and even doing everyday task is hard for me. I'm really hoping I get better, but I cannot wait until my precious baby boy gets here and this pregnancy is over. I'm not sure why my first pregnancy was so much easier than this one but it is definitely been hard on me. I try to stay positive but with all that's been going on, it's not east to do. I hope it gets better for all you ladies who are having a hard time:)

No pregnancy is really hard on majority of women and im sorry to say this but the last month or weeks isnt so easy for most... its when your the biggest, you joints are taking a beating from the hormones and your baby is running outta room so it can get pretty uncomfortabe... i really hope you have a good last 4 months but just saying it can be rough on a person too.... but your not alone on having a rough go... i think the "good" pregnancys are pretty rare! but  we get through it and do over and over again lol i remember saying with my first pregnancy how lucky woman with twins were to get two babys with 1 pregnancy lol I was really sick too...this pregnancy is rough going as well but again im getting thru it...
