How difficult was your pregnancy(ies)?

Answer 1

1st-I was a mental because well, I could be! Healthy son delivered by c-section (apparently, my pelvis was too small to deliver naturally. Unaware that anything was small on my body!)
2nd-ended in miscarraige, so it sucked.
3rd-Bed rest at 24 weeks, delivered at 28 weeks, son passed away a week later. Horrible.
4th-Very paranoid. High risk. Went to hospital for weekly ultrasounds from the get go. In between appointments I was so nervous that I ate. And ate and ate and ate. 75 stress-filled pounds later I got a beautiful girl.
Batting 50%, and we're done. Can't handle the stress of another pregnancy.

Answer 2

Both of my pregnancies I had preeclampsia, which has the high blood pressure, protein in urine, swelling, etc. It's very uncomfortable and hard on the body. Because of this my longest pregnancy so far is only 37 weeks. Both of my kids are completely healthy, just born a little early! The worst part about delivering with preeclampsia is they hook you up to Magnesium Sulfate, which is there to prevent seizures (caused from the high bp) and keep you on it for 24 hours after delivery. That stuff makes you feel horrible, nausea, vomiting, dizzy, etc. Its always a relief when they take that IV out. I am on my 3rd pregnancy now, and so far all is good. But I don't start getting the high blood pressure til 30 weeks, and right now I am only 20!

Answer 3

it was both easy and hard. The first 3 months sucked I had''morning sickness'' 24/7 I lost 17 pounds because of it. the labor part wasn't bad. I had no symptoms until my water just decided to brake at 330 in the morning. about 15 minutes after my water breaking I start with contractions. I was in labor 12 hours (15 hours start to finish but the hospital said I was in labor for 12 first 6 I was just doing the thang!! after my pain hit 80 I wanted the epidural. had my twins natural my first daughter was natural vaginal and my second daughter was a vaginal breech delivery(60 seconds after my 1st daughter). I would do it again in a heart beat. I was expecting way worse for the labor but it was not as bad or horrible as I thought.

Answer 4

I am 34 weeks, and my pregnancy was a breeze up until the last trimester. Now I have at least three doctor's appointments a weeks due to several factors that have made me high risk. In fact, I have an appointment today in about an hour.

Answer 5

My son was a breeze, no symptoms, easy pregnancy and birth.
My daughter was kind hard...I was sick 24/7 for 5mths straight, I was put on bed rest and pelvic rest several times throughout and I had blood sugar issues and was high risk.
So far this pregnancy has been easy.

Answer 6

The process of pregnancy really isn't THAT bad. I like complaining about it because I'm just one of those people who will complain about anything for the hell of it.

I could live without the morning sickness that lasted almost FOREVER.
As well as the annoying Braxton Hicks.

Answer 7

My pregnancies were all easy. I never had morning sickness and I felt good. However the postpartum was horrible. I was sick for 10 days of every month for six months after the first two babies. After the third one, I had arthritis for eight months.

Answer 8

1 pregnancy, and I actually miss being pregnant. I miss waddling around with my big belly. I got really bitchy there at the end because I was so swollen, but other than that I loved being pregnant. Even with nausea, sore joints, achy skin, everything--I just took it all in stride.

Answer 9

my first 2 pregnancy were easy but this pregnancy is like hell.

Answer 10

long labor on the first, but the retained placenta on the second was no fun at all. I do not recommend it :-)
