I had really bad nausea until 14 weeks with both Charlie and Olive and lost weight the first trimester. The second trimester was smooth sailing. The third trimester with Charlie was so uncomfortable because I gained so much weight, but with Olive I felt great!
So overall, I think I had pretty easy pregnancies. No big scares or worries. The nausea was really crappy, but I liked it because it made me feel like the pregnancy was going well!
Did you have an easy pregnancy?

I actually had a really easy pregnancy, which makes me terrified to get pregnant again because I don't want the opposite next time.
I didn't have any morning sickness, swelling, scares, etc. I was in some pain the last few weeks of pregnancy, but other than that, I actually enjoyed it.

so far (I'm 33w6d) I have had a very easy pregnancy. I've never gotten sick and other than just a little queasiness for a few weeks I wouldn't say I had any nausea. I've had no swelling, so far no stretch marks. I've just started having a little bit of trouble sleeping and am feeling a bit more tired lately but know that goes with the territory! I feel VERY blessed to be having such an easy go at this so far!

I was uncomfortable but it was easy. I had no morning sickness and didn't go to the hospital until I was in labor. I didn't swell until 38 weeks either and that was because I was in a car for over 20 hours while we moved across country.

Mine has been relatively easy so far. From about 6 to 16 weeks I had some nausea issues and was a homebody, but I was still able to eat and work. There has been pretty smooth sailing ever since, except for the kidney stone incident at 19 weeks where I thought I was dying, but that was only a 48 hour period. I'm 28 weeks now and still feeling pretty good! Hoping nothing changes too drastically over the next 12 weeks, although I'm sure comfort levels will take a hit.

I had a couple of scares in the beginning, but it's been easy as far as having no restrictions, feeling well, being able to remain active (I'm still doing crossfit and volleyball) and generally feeling well. Sure, sometimes i get a little achy, but it's not like it I've been bed ridden or anything. I'm hoping the last few months continue to go well.

I had a super easy pregnancy- no morning sickness, no excessive tiredness, no complications. I had a 6 hour labor from water breaking to birth. Blah blah blah I know, you probably want to slap me ;). I'm sure with baby #2 I will get hit with all the evil pregnancy has to offer just to make up for how easy #1 was!

It wasn't easy but it definitely could have been worse. My morning sickness only let up for like 2 weeks during the second trimester, I lost a good amount of weight at the beginning and struggled to put and keep any on (my total gross weight gain was 4 lbs), I had a SCH that was never reabsorbed or passed, so I was constantly worried about that, and I had a constant, severe pain in one spot of my uterus that only got worse as I got bigger (MW thought it was RLP, I'm not sure.)
But my BP was always low, my swelling was minimal (and I delivered in August), and I never had to go to L&D until I delivered.

I am hesitant to even post, because I don't want to jinx anything! I'm just about 23 weeks and have had a very easy pregnancy so far. I had a couple weeks of nausea (no throwing up though) and major exhaustion in the first tri, but since then I've been going like a house on fire. I'm still working out (crossfit) and staying very busy. When people ask me how I'm feeling I get kind of confused as to why they're asking, because I feel totally normal and often forget I'm pregnant until I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror.
My mum had the same type of pregnancy (she said she's never felt better in her whole life) and mine is similar so far. I thanked her for her good pregnancy genes when I saw her this past weekend

Super easy! zero nausea/food aversions, no scares or real concerns at all, and I felt great throughout (worked out two days before I went into labor). I was super lucky.

medically, it was fairly uneventful - no high bp, complications, etc......
but it was so LONG. and the nausea never went away, just decreased. and in the third trimester i would get calf/leg cramps so bad I would wake up crying (and once it lasted for DAYS). I also had to go to L&D twice to check out everything was okay since I hadn't felt him kick in a day or so. and did I mention it was the LONGEST 41 weeks of my life? because it was. JUST.SO.LONG.

Yep, pretty much uncomplicated, no life altering symptoms. I had some food aversions and queasiness, exhaustion in the first tri, and was achy and stiff toward the end. That's about it.

Mine was relatively easy, nothing extremely worrying, I also had slightly elevated blood pressure and a few small issues that required attention, but overall I would say it was an ok pregnancy

So far at 26 weeks it is. No morning sickness, no food aversions, been pretty easy. The only thing has been I don't sleep great, but I didn't sleep great before pregnancy either. I hope it stays that way.

I'm 36 weeks and have been pleasantly surprised with how easy this pregnancy has been. Every once in a while I'll have an uncomfortable day and wish to not be pregnant any longer, but those days are rare. I've been sleeping great and don't even have to get up to pee. My morning sickness only lasted for five weeks and I only vomited twice because of it. I really hope that future pregnancies go as smoothly as this one has.

Knock on wood, b/c I'm 33.5 weeks along, but I've loved pregnancy so far. I try to keep how great I think it is under wraps... I have coworkers in their third trimester who are definitely having challenging pregnancies.

I think I had a pretty easy pregnancy, I did have morning sickness but no complications, went into labor naturally, quick delivery...can't complain!

I had a super easy pregnancy - no morning sickness, no food aversions, no swelling, no stretch marks, and no complications of any kind. I also had a very straightforward labour and delivery as well. I'm a bit nervous to get pregnant with the next one as I don't know if I can be that lucky twice!

I wouls say pretty easy. I think the worst part was the morning sickness. But I had no complications. Everything went smoothly and L&D went smoothly as well.

like some other ladies, i'm knocking on wood here, but at 34w6d, i have had a really easy pregnancy. never sick, nauseous, etc. i just started having circulation issues and sleep is not great, but really glad i've made it this far without any complications at all. hoping this next period sails by!
GOLD / wonderful apricot / 22646 posts
yep~... had a couple weeks of mild nausea... of course hated the last few weeks of waiting/comfort... but overall I think I was really blessed with an easy/average pregnancy.

Compared to some folks it's definitely been easy, but it hasn't been without issues. I had bad all day morning sickness the first trimester (luckily Zofran helped with the vomiting). I can't sleep because of reflux and hip pain, I've got SPD, and I've had a couple of bouts of bleeding. I definitely haven't enjoyed it at all.

Really easy and uneventful. No morning sickness, no food aversions other than coffee, minimal discomfort, and I slept well all the way up til the end (other than being up every hour to pee!). I was pretty swollen by the end, but that's what happens when you have a baby in July.
