2nd time around: pregnancy is so much harder!

2nd time moms is anyone just feeling completely sore, tired, and huge?  I feel so so much more tired and sore than last time.  My legs are sore, my knees are sore, if I do too much (like walk around Ikea-genius lol) I am in bed with BH all afternoon.  I am running out of maternity clothes that are summery that fit, I think I'm down to one pair of capris now lol.  Yoga pants for the next 6 weeks :)

    Yes, and lugging around a 15 month old who can't be trusted to walk where she is supposed to, or climb the stairs, or get in and out of her crib etc hasn't exactly helped either.

    Amen to that! I thought it would be easier the second time around, but I actually think it's been harder. I'm more tired, I feel bigger, things got sore much earlier, etc. I feel like such a complainer typing this, but yes, I totally understand what you're saying!

    My BH contractions are awful this time around. I barely remember having them with DD but its like every single BH I have hurts.

    WORD - I feel ya ladies. My 1st pregnancy felt like a breeze. This one? cramping, back pain, pubis symphysis, etc etc. Lets not forget the bratty 2 yr old that pushes my patience daily.

    Oh for sure!  So much more sore and tired.  Hardly any BH with DS, but hours worth of them this time.  I'm so ready to be done!

    I hear you on the clothes not fitting!  all my shirts are on the verge of being too short!  I feel bigger, and more tired, but less emotional (yea!!)

    Amen! I was just talking to my BFF about this. I can't believe how much more tired I am and the aches and pains are ridiculous.

    I'm glad it's not just me!  I loved my pg with DD but I am so over this one!  I'm gigantic and can't move not to mention the dizzy spells/overheating episodes.  And tons of BH just from unloading the dang dishwasher.  I cannot wait for this little man to make his appearance!

    Totally.  It's been a lot harder to enjoy this pregnancy and I have some guilt to go with that.

    I think in the last 24 hours I have discovered that I am really truly pregnant.  I am pretty sure this LO has dropped and he is dancing on my cervix and bladder...ok head dancing since he is head down.  Either that or a boxing match.

    Otherwise until now, I felt pretty good. I slept like CRAP the last 2 nights. I think t hat is a big part of it.

    Ditto what the PP said... Wait till the 3rd time around! I am so over this. I am 37 weeks and i am actually still working full time!!!!!!! I must be nuts. BUT i am huge...bigger then both of my other pregnancies. It is insane. My joints hurt, my back hurts, I am MISERABLE! But i can't wait to have the baby and find out what it is. I love being pregnant but this 3rd time is definitely the HARDEST!

    This 2nd time through has been harder from the beginning.  Every single uncomfortable symptom, I gots it!  I'm not as big this time as last time, but that's because I am still freaking nauseous and with DD I was like Ms Pacman eating everything in sight!  This baby is SO low, I have to pee every 5 minutes and can't sit with my legs together.

    Most definitely I agree.  This is my 2nd & a single pregnancy & it's been so much harder then the twin pregnancy was (believe it or not).  I'm also measuring much bigger this time around too, all my materinity shirts from my 1st are short & barely fit my tummy anymore & my pants are tighter.  With the twins I grew more in the hip area & this time I'm all belly.
