Yep, my second pregnancy was much harder... I had a toddler to chase after as well and i think that made a difference. My third wasn't that much harder and the other two were older.
With #1 you can rest when you need to, go to bed as early as you want and not have to get up a lot at night, with #2 you often don't get any rest during the day, have to look after a toddler, lift them up all the time, get up to them during the night and get minimal down time. No wonder it's harder! I was so exhausted with DD2 and I was bigger as well so I definitely did find it harder.
YES!!! This pg for me has been far more exhausting, I worked full time last pg but this time I only work 2 days a week and have been having a nap with DS on the days I am home. And yes to more of the ouchy ligament and sciatica pains this time too. Terrible m/s this time until about 18 weeks too. All that aside these little people are worth it, big hugs, it is tough trying to stay happy mummy when you are tired and exhausted mummy.
