Did anyone feel more exhausted with your first than your second during pregnancy?

I am grateful to say that I am pregnant with baby number two, but I sometimes get anxious since I’m not exhausted just yet. Well, I am exhausted but not like I was with my first baby.

Also! If you have a boy and a girl, were you more tired with the boy or girl?

Definitely more tired with my first

With my first I could fall asleep anywhere and sleep through anything! The exhaustion was unreal! My others have had a day or two here or there but nothing compared to my first. My first happened to be a girl.

My 1st was a cakewalk of a pregnancy, no morning sickness, I wasn’t tired, I felt great all the way through & was disappointed when the OB started talking about induction, I wasn’t ready to be done with the pregnancy. 2nd pregnancy, I had HG, couldn’t eat, couldn’t drink, couldn’t hardly move, I literally slept 5m of my entire 9m pregnancy away & my hubs was afraid he’d lose me, I was ready for that induction. Both of my kids are boys, totally opposite pregnancies, my hubs & I were convinced he was a girl bc it was so different, but we found out at 12w that wasn’t the case.

Nah i felt more tired with my second

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

2nd pregnancy after c section

I’m not planning on getting pregnant anytime soon but in the future possibly. I just wanted to know how is pregnancy after c section like my fear is having to go through another emergency operation or even putting strain on my incision during pregnancy

Baby Movements

Hello, I’m a FTM currently 18W5D pregnant. I’ve been getting this tugging feeling in my stomach after I eat, it’s uncomfortable but not painful. I don’t know whether that’s the baby moving or round ligaments pain.

I’ve also been getting round ligament pain which is either a sharp stabbing pain or a stretching sensation. These happens whether or not I’ve eaten while the tugging feeling is only after I’ve eaten.

So, could the tugging feeling be the baby or something else.

Anyone getting a private scan at exactly 6weeks

I just wanna know my baby is actually there after losing my first at 5w

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.
