What week/weeks of pregnancy...........

loopdido · Oct 29th, 2009, 12:50 PM

have been/are the hardest for you and why?

I'm guessing we'll all have different stories to tell about what was hard and why....just interested, please share

I actually find it hard to answer this question because there is something hard about each stage really. for me anyway!

I think week leading up to 12 week scan was worse though, cos at that point you don't know if babies alright, alive, there are 2 or more etc....plus was feeling really sick at that point too!

what do you all think?

The last few weeks are the hardest for me. Stressed about baby coming and making sure I have everything done. Gotta get meals made to be frozen.

Cant sleep becasue of heartburn, throwing up all the time, cant sit, cant stand, cant walk without pain.

Trying to keep my family healthy so there are no issues when baby comes. Holidays start 1 week after baby is here.

Also terrified of the impending c-section.

Definately from week 8 til week 18! I had really bad morning sickness, couldn't get out of bed,lost 2 stone in weight, couldn't eat anything, was so worried id miss my a level examinations and had problems with FOB. It was horrible!

MORNING SICKNESS!!!! Definitely for me.

I never knew I could feel so sick for so long.

And if you want the WORST day of that it was 8 weeks and 6 days. I was pathetically crying at how ill I felt, by myself, for two WHOLE hours.

I'm more physically uncomfortable the further along I get in pregnancy, but emotionally I'm finding now much more exciting and I'm happier than my first trimester.

First trimester was the worst because of physical and emotional discomfort. I had way more anxiety about the baby plus it was too early to shop for baby or decorate a nursery - things that make pregnancy especially fun to me! Plus I had to hide the fact that I was pregnant - no sympathy, no one asking about the baby. Now at least people are sympathetic about my discomforts (mostly) since I'm huge and obviously pregnant.

34 wks + have been like hell. I'm getting so big and it's hard for me to get around or feel comfortable. Plus my PUPPPS surfaced at 35 wks.

31-32 weeks. I had terrible upper back pain and my heartburn was at it's worst, plus I was getting really tired whilst out and about. Now I feel better and am out and about just as easily as ever.

I've been lucky really, I've had it fairly easy. Other than being a bit stiff in the mornings I really can't complain... I feel as good as I did pre pregnancy most of the time.
