First pregnancy, no. This pregnancy, yes - for the most part. I had morning sickness until about 14/15 weeks, but when that was over I was able to get back to the gym and that had me feeling so much better. I'm 32 weeks now and struggling, but still doing barre and feeling generally pretty good, if slower/sleepier/achier.

Heartburn started at conception for both and with this guy my sciatic nerve pain has been non stop since 7 weeks. So... it hasn't been too golden.

First pregnancy, yes!
Second, not even close!

Sort of but it hasn't lined up exactly with the 2nd tri. It didn't start until about 17-18 weeks and is more or less still going at 34 weeks. So like 2.5-3.5 has been the sweet spot for me. Honestly whenever I evaluate how I'm feeling, I just compare to the 1st-tri exhaustion and think, I feel freaking GREAT. I'll take just about anything to stay away from that.

It was for my first pregnancy... Not looking so promising for this one.

I mean, I've definitely felt better than the 1st. My appetite is back (and then some most days) and I can actually be somewhat productive around the house (some days.) But my sleep at night is absolute crap. My hips ache and I'm pretty uncomfortable already. (19w.)

At almost 35w now, I feel really lucky that this pregnancy has been pretty easy so far. Even with that, though, the second trimester was even easier than the first and third. I felt I could do anything and was exercising and eating like a champ.

With # 1, yes. With #2, nope. I still napped when DS napped right up until the end...and still try to when both are sleeping at the same time 4.5 months pp. It's so much more tiring when you already have one to chase around!

yes with my first - not so much with my second.

At 16 weeks, I've newly discovered constipation (more than previous) and reflux from hell...including vomiting a little due to a light gag while brushing my teeth. Yuck.
