The first trimester was constant nausea and throwing up everything I ate, while being constipated all the time. During the second trimester the "ball" started to grow in my stomach taking up space and pushing on my bladder. The entire third trimester was full of baby kicks, back pain and horrible sleep, while some of my nausea returned and my feet swelled up. I was sensitive to dairy products the entire pregnancy, and had to get creative with recipes.

Each time has been different for me. My first felt like I wasn't even pregnant, second was constantly sick, this third time I've had a lot of pains and been very uncomfortable.
What Girls Said
Mine were all a bit different. My first was an easy pregnancy, but I had a lot of morning sickness in the first trimester. I was induced 3 weeks early but delivered fast with an epidural. My second was an easy pregnancy, less morning sickness, but overdue by 2 weeks. Was also induced, no epidural, incredibly painful but fast delivery. My third was the easiest. No morning sickness, easy pregnancy, natural delivery, very fast. All of my pregnancies had good times and rough times, but it’s so very worth every bit of the pain and frustration. 💚💚
First trimester was pretty rough in terms of feeling bad. I remember one time I think my blood sugar had gotten low and I felt like I was drunk even though I wasn't. I felt better after I got myself a sugary soda so I think it was my blood sugar. I only got sick to my stomach and vomited a few times during pregnancy at random times. I think the worst part for me was the heartburn, god the heartburn was awful. I also had pica and I was constantly eating ice and also wanted to chew on non food items like toilet paper of all things (NON USED! LOL). I never had a habit of eating ice before getting pregnant and after delivering my son I stopped craving nonfood items. Also my ankles got really swollen and every joint in my body hurt during my third trimester. Also had a hard time getting comfortable to sleep. So yeah, pregnancy was not fun for me lmao. But I know I still had an easier time than other women, lord I couldn't imagine it being worse.
I don’t believe pregnancy can make you feel physically better than they were before, except in the rarest of cases, but you feel emotionally better knowing you will have a baby soon, and that could boost your health. And your immune system is stronger when your pregnant, according to my friend, anyways.
It’s sucked. I hated being pregnant. I had “morning sickness” 24/7 for 8 months straight. It went away right around the time that you start feeling uncomfortable all the time because the baby is getting so big. I did it more than once too. (Glutton for punishment I guess 🤔)
I was definitely NOT one of those happy pregnant people.This is my first pregnancy and I'm miserable lol its still pretty early on I'm just hoping it gets better in the second trimester
It was hard but I still loved it. I also found myself collecting art pieces depicting female fantasy creatures pregnant.
this one has sucked for me.
I don't know but it sounds horrifying
Short-lived thankfully
I’ve never been pregnant so I cannot say
