    Yep - 2nd pg was definitely harder, and the 3rd harder again.

    One thing I found invaluable 2nd time round was going to pregnancy pilates classes once a week - I always felt so amazing afterwards!

    I haven't been able to do them this time round (DH being busy, us going overseas etc etc) so Ive really missed it, and feel like Im not as fit this time!

    You'll get through it

    You are not alone!

    I am actually on my first pregnancy but I read this daily blog everyday and more reader comments are by secondtimers who say that the second has been much worse than the first! It is freaking me out for sure, I want to have two babes but not if its going to be even more rough than the first. the web blog is tiredofbeingpregnant.com and I found it by googling "tired of being pregnant" if that tells you anything.

    Google src pregnancy shorts. They're meant to be really good for a lot of the pregnancy pain. I will be getting some for this preg. Reports from people who have used them are very encouraging. Good luck!

    This is my second pregnancy and I am 19 weeks (tomorrow) and this is taking its toll on me more so than my first. MUCH worse nausa, my lower back is KILLING me and I am so tired its not funny. I do have a 20mth old DD who goes and goes so I was just blaming my running around after her the cause of my problems lol
