Has anyone's second pregnancy been worse than the first?
Genuinely feel like death. Just shy of 18 weeks pregnant and the extreme exhaustion is physically killing me off. Everything feels like a marathon. Have pushed through gym workouts but they're now starting to falter, especially running. Housework is getting slower/piling up despite husband helping out. Childcare and work I'm managing. But I'm falling asleep at like 8pm and sleeping through to 7am 🙈 tried sleeping less and I feel worse than I do sleeping this length of time. Food aversions and nausea are still about, with the nausea admittedly better than it has been.
But with my first, I was past all this by now and firmly in the second trimester glow up, worrying over spotty skin rather than sleeping like a sloth.
Anyone been here and can relate or even better tell me it will go away soon? My only differences between my first and second pregnancy is a low PAPP-A score, slightly higher BMI as I didn't manage to get all baby weight off and obviously a toddler to care for.

Have you had your iron levels checked?
Yes. Second pregnancy for me was way harder than my first... I'm happy to have my baby and not putting my body through this ever again.
Yes, all good levels apparently. Have taken Pregnacare pretty much daily too though a few missed doses in the last week or so.

Kit days quick question
Morning! I thought I’d ask as I saw someone mention KIT days.
I’m just wondering, do you get to specify what hours or how long you want to do your KIT days, or is it up to your manager? I’m a bit worried they’ll expect me to do a full day. 😅 Has anyone had any experience with this?

Owlet sock?
Has anyone previously used or is planning on getting an owlet sock for baby? They’re so expensive and can’t help but think people were fine without them before they were around, are they worth it?

Baby sitting low
I’m currently 35 weeks pregnant. My baby’s been low since early pregnancy. I’ve been feeling more pressure on my bladder so i have to go pee very often. Does anyone feel like this? Especially when baby is moving?

Failed my glucose test
I failed my glucose test and I don’t know what’s my next step is? My OB hasn’t called me yet. I feel so overwhelmed and I keep blaming myself I don’t know why..
Do you know what caused it? I never liked sweets or craved it. I only drink frapp and have soda occasionally.
