24 Weeks today!! Baby is the size of a cantaloupe.
We just had some friends over and the girl asked me, "I know all pregnancies are different but for you what has been the hardest part?" and I thought that would be a good question to ask all of you as well. For me, I said that it was just the general aches and pains. That and I have allergies right now and the medicine I am allowed to take doesn't do anything for me so I feel miserable. What about you ladies?
My mood has been pretty hard to rangle in lately. I go from happy to a complete sour puss back to happy again. I know I have been giving my DH whip lash but he is amazing and handling it the best way possible. Back aches and boob pain have sucked as well.
November Siggy Challenge: How I feel in the Third Trimester
Another 24 week cantaloupe Which means VDAY!
As far as hardest part: being tired, having serious pelvic pain, and braxton hicks but still having to continue on with work and home life! Some days I wish I could just lay in bed all day.
22 weeks. Papaya. The hardest part for me is still being nauseous and really working hard to actually eat. That plus chasing a toddler. Also the heat this pregnancy. Last time I was not pregnant in the summer and I would much rather be pregnant in the winter.

Thanks, I had no idea what it meant. Not to change the subject but on my last BMB we had a girl give birth to her baby who was 24 weeks and some days. I am thrilled to say that her baby survived and is doing fantastic!
I can't name a single thing that has been difficult yet ::knock on wood:: no morning sickness or extreme tiredness or aches and pains or weight gain or mood swings. Several people have said "ughh I hated pregnancy isn't it horrible?!" And when I say I haven't had any bad experiences their response is usually "oh you're one of those girls I hate" lol why thank you!
I'd have to say the emotions/guilt of number 2 taking away DS' only child status, emotions in general, RLP which I hardly felt with DS but definitely do this time, and the back pain...ohhh the back pain. DH and I have also hit a rough patch lately because he has finally realized this is really happening and we will soon be 2 vs. 2 kids to adults instead of 2 against 1. I think it's harder on him to accept the baby because he's not bonding with him the way I am on a daily basis. Maybe I can chalk this up to the emotions too.

All my pregnancies have been fairly similar. This time it's a bit harder because I'm type II diabetic and had to start the GD diet and finger pricking at 12 weeks instead of 28 weeks.

You are one of those girls I hate! But mostly because I am jealous of you. I want to enjoy pregnancy SO BAD, but it's hard when you're nauseous 24/7 for 40 weeks.

I was 21 weeks on Friday, a pomegranate. The worst has been sleeping...I am a stomach sleeper through and through and have had a really hard time adjusting to side sleeping (even with ALL the pillows!)
However, I found out Saturday the I'm having a little girl, and moments like that make it all worth it!
22 weeks yesterday, we have a papaya now! The hardest part for me has been more recently with the back and hip pain. I always know when I'm stretching because the RLP and the pain in my hips like someone is sitting on each side and pushing down is unmistakeable. I waddle around so much when that happens
The hardest thing for me so far has been the nausea and sensitivity to smells, which mostly went away around 14 weeks - since then, things have been amazing! And my baby is 23 weeks tomorrow!

23 weeks today.
I'd say the hardest part so far are the aches and pains. I did not notice or have this with DS.
