It Was Hard for Me
Pregnancy is the hardest thing I have ever experienced. Pregnancy as a whole was harder than the labor itself. If I could skip past being pregnant and just have to get through labor I would probably have one hundred babies lol
These were some of my struggles during pregnancy. Can you relate?
NAUSEA IN EARLY PREGNANCY
This was the worst pregnancy symptom I had to deal with. I forced myself to eat breakfast, and I had to do it slowly. It totally took the enjoyment away from eating, which is literally one of the best parts of pregnancy imo.
ANXIETY
My hormones were rapidly changing, I was extra emotional, and I had several things to plan in terms of preparing for our baby which made me worried constantly. With that being said, my anxiety decreased substantially in my second pregnancy and I believe this had to do with being prepared and knowledgeable about what to expect in motherhood.
ROUND LIGAMENT PAIN
This was my worst enemy. Round ligament pain never gave me a day of rest after week 20. If I sneezed or stood up weirdly, I would get a sharp shooting pain in my lower belly/uterus. It’s like a quick sharp sensation that sneak attacks you. Slow movements and crunching when sneezing were the only solutions to preventing the sudden pain.

Pregnancy is a beautiful yet challenging journey filled with ups and downs. Many women experience early pregnancy symptoms such as nausea, anxiety, and physical discomfort that can test their limits. Nausea, especially in the first trimester, often makes it hard to enjoy meals, while anxiety may stem from the rapid hormonal changes and preparations for the new arrival. Round ligament pain is another common struggle, particularly in the second and third trimesters, causing sharp sensations that can be alarming. To ease these challenges, many expectant mothers find relief through diet adjustments, relaxation techniques, and informed support from experienced moms. Methods such as focusing on nutrient-dense foods, practicing prenatal yoga, or simply sharing experiences and hacks with fellow moms can significantly improve the pregnancy experience. Engaging in open conversations about these struggles can help normalize the feelings and create a supportive community. Remember, every pregnancy journey is unique, and it's essential to seek help when needed. Share your experiences and tips in the comments! 🤍
