Clicky Fun! - Hardest Trimester?

[mrskblack11]

Third. Getting out of bed or off the couch is nearly impossible. The stretch marks are out of control. My belly is huge from the extra fluid I am carrying. I can't bend over to pick stuff off the floor. Acid reflux is a bitch. At least I'm not swelling.

First tri I never threw up and was just tired all the time. It was like one long nap. I barely even remember it.

Thanks leenziepops, and @bubbs119,! Fingers crossed!

I voted for first. I had to discontinue a medication I was taking and it was very difficult on my body to come off of it. Add the constant morning sickness and fatigue, plus taking caring of a two year old, and it was a pretty sucky time. Third tri also sucks, but my general level of discomfort is no where near first tri (yet).

I know 1st was awful, because I was SO sick, but I guess it's far enough in the rearview that I think 3rd is worse. The swelling, weight, having SO much to do but being too tired, etc. is really getting me down, I gotta say.

First tri by a hair. And mostly because I had first tri crappiness through 20 weeks. Third tri suckiness only lasts for the last 6 weeks.

3rd, by far. I am so uncomfortable and the heartburn, lack of sleep, emotions, and contractions can go!

3rd trimester for sure! I thought the 1st was bad with the nausea/sour stomach every waking hour but nope I was wrong. The third was ok until about 3 weeks ago or so. The acid reflux hurts SO bad, my hips ache, I can't sleep well, I have feet that rival Shrek's and I am just exhausted. The ONLY good thing about the 3rd so far is that I feel her moving around ALL.THE.TIME and it helps to remind me that I have a little person growing in there that will be here so soon.

Definitely first trimester! It has been smooth sailing for me since then!

First trimester. I've said that I never want to have another first trimester again *and* that I would take 12 pain-med-free L&Ds (one for each week) to skip the first trimester if we ever lost our minds and decided to have a 3rd.

1st and 3rd have been equally crappy but for different reasons.

First. Puking so violent that I had pain radiating down to my wrists, all hours (so at least as exhausted as I am waking up every hour to pee), unable to keep down the Diclegis. SPD was the worst in the second trimester for some reason. GD diagnosis was in the last week of the second tri. Third trimester has just brought pelvic discomfort from her moving down, and the annoyance of GD monitoring. (I've had more numbers under 70 lately than over 100 - the actual diet is only a challenge when I'm at the grocery store.)

DH asked, though, if I can just say "screw it!" on the GD diet starting at 39 weeks. I said maybe after my 39 week appointment. Though two days later, my diabetic mother is coming to visit for 2.5 weeks. *shrug*
