Anyone else struggling with 2nd pregnancy

I am not moaning one bit as I'm over the moon we have our rainbow baby on the way!
But I'm feeling so under the weather,not myself at all! I would rather be sick then this feeling! I'm in the 2nd trimester now and still feel awful! I feel bad for my partner and son as they aren't getting the best of me! I have a midwife appt next week so will speak to them!
Did or has anyone felt the same with a 2nd pregnancy? Any tips?

This is my first and I don’t know if I could do this again!! I can’t imagine being pregnant while also taking care of a mini me!! So I give you all lots of kudos for doing it. I would say to try to remind yourself that you are growing a child and have every right to feel this way. You are not choosing to feel this way and should not feel guilty. Just so what you can when you can.

I’m exactly the same also! I know they say every pregnancy is different.
But I’ve definitely had a shock with how I feel this time round in comparison to my first! Xx

I completely agree with this. I have been a half assed partner and parent the last few months feeling so crappy. I can’t tell if it’s worse than the first pregnancy or just because I feel worse for not showing up- and also sick. I’ve entered second trimester but it’s not been the relief I was expecting. Still tough.

they do say each is different but this is worlds apart from my first! 😂😂 it's definitely not what I thought going onto the 2nd trimester was going to be like at all!
I'm glad it's not just me out there that feels this way! You can kinda get in to it's just me that feels like this! I will definitely be talking to the midwife about any tips! And if I get a good response I will put in here for you guys!

Completely understand, I thought my first pregnancy was hard. I just can't catch up on sleep I'm never not exhausted and I'm so ill all the time. Then I have the guilt of not being enough for my first baby xx

Aw ladies none of you are in it alone with any of these feelings. Sometimes it’s just reassuring knowing others feel the same…
Someone once said to me. If your worried your not enough/doing good enough etc etc. you already are enough a good mum etc because bad/lazy parents don’t give it a second thought . ❤️

Boy or girl?

I’ve just discovered the nub theory and this is my 4th baby. Anyone take a guess?

So ready for second trimester 🥲

I really really hate the first trimester. It’s exhausting, no appetite, not enough hours to get the amount of sleep I need, headaches, smell sensitivity, and overall just feeling like crap! And I don’t want to announce anything until 14 weeks since I’ve had losses before, and it’s getting really hard to hide it from my friends. Two more weeks to go….

Just needed to vent to others who understand!

Anxiety

I’m 10 weeks and I have had so much anxiety probably for the last 2-3 weeks I already deal with anxiety but it was a tad bit easier shaking it off when I wasn’t pregnant.. I am on medication but doesn’t seem to be doing much tbh— I see a lot of yall say it’s a first trimester thing but this is my 3rd baby and I don’t remember being this anxious especially bc sometimes I’m just laying and heart rate reaches the the 120s am I the only one? Please help with suggestions. I don’t want to feel like this.. I know pregnancy is hard but fudge this makes it’s harder 😔😔😔

39 weeks pregnant FTM

39 weeks baby hasn’t come yet and I am just full of anxiety. I am trying to relax. I am trying to chill, but I can’t chill. I do not want to be induced. I would love to have her natural. Issue is I am tight down there and petite and baby is measuring big like the head especially. I know that measurements can be off. But I have photos! And she is a chunk. This is so unpredictable. How do I just put my faith forward and trust in God and how do I let go of this anxiety? I am doing fine and then boom it hits me and I want to ball my eyes out. I am trying to treat myself and do little things but driving or doing anything is so hard now and I’m so huge and uncomfortable …I’m at my breaking point 😭

SPPH (secondary postpartum haemorrhage) due to retained placenta -D&C?

Looking to see if anyone else has experienced this? Currently trying to pass retained tissue ( 4 weeks pp) and finding every day so exhausting just constantly waiting and checking my bleeding. I stopped bleeding on week 2.5/3 then bleeding picked up last Saturday and I haemorrhaged on Thursday morning with a rush to hospital. Everyday since I’m waking up scared I’ll be bleeding out. Worried to go toilet to check, I’m not convinced I’ll be passing it naturally and I’m worried I’ll need a D&C… has anyone had this? My retained tissue is 2cm so they said it’s small but I have no signs of passing it or blood changing colour to show slowing down.
