I'm pregnant with my second child, and I feel so much more tired and uncomfortable compared to my first. Many people say a second pregnancy is harder. Is this generally true, and if so, why?
It's definitely a double workout routine! 😅 First time we are queens taking rest, second time we are chasing a toddler. Hang in there, mama, you are doing great! ❤️
Sometimes extreme fatigue in second pregnancy can also be due to thyroid issues or low iron. Make sure you are getting your regular blood tests done and following up with your doctor. Don't just ignore it as normal fatigue.
It's harder because this time you have a toddler running around, simple as that! My saas always says we have to manage household work and the child together, so there is no time to rest like the first time. Take all the help you can get.
Yes, I am constantly worrying if I am giving enough attention to my firstborn while being so exhausted with the second. Plus, the physical body aches feel much worse this time. You are not alone, it's really exhausting but we will get through this.
In my family, they say the body takes time to recover from the first delivery, which is why the second feels heavier. Please don't ignore your back pain or fatigue, and discuss with your doctor if you need extra supplements. Take care, dear.
I panicked thinking my body was failing because the second pregnancy felt so much more tiring than the first. But actually, my gynac said it's totally normal since our muscles are already stretched and we have no time to nap! Don't worry, it's just lifestyle difference.
I'm only on my first pregnancy and already so tired, reading this makes me a bit nervous! Is it really that much harder for everyone the second time? I hope you get some good rest and support.
