The nausea the first 14-16 weeks was the worst part with both pregnancies because I just hate feeling nauseous. Although the big, uncomfortable feeling in the third trimester with Charlie is up there as well. Then I had some other problems -- sciatica (but it didn't last long), carpal tunnel, and heartburn, but the nausea was the worst since it was unrelenting.
What about you?

I'm about halfway through and most def the nausea and my migraines with no paid meds have been the worst!

For me it's been the stress. I have had so many scares/complications already. And I'm just constantly worried that something is going to go wrong. I need these next 21 weeks to fly by so I can have a happy healthy baby in my arms!

7 weeks of bedrest from weeks 30-37 was not much fun!

I had a fairly "easy" pregnancy, but I'd say the 1st trimester acne and general mental stress of dealing with a changing body/weight gain (particularly in the 2nd trimester) were tough for me!

For me, it was right at the end from weeks 34-40. I had the smoothest pregnancy ever until then. Then my BP skyrocketed and I got swollen and I had reduced fetal movement and high amniotic fluid levels. I was a mess. Turned out I had pre-eclampsia with no protein presence, so it took them a long time to diagnose. I also had pregnancy induced hypertension (still dealing with that almost a year later.) and the cord was around Livs neck 3 times, causing the excess fluid and reduced movement. My c-section was welcomed with open arms by that point lol

nausea was probably the worst! first 4 months with both!
Although sciatica was horrible with Wagon Jr., and the groin pain this time around with Lil Miss Wagon is pretty awful. It's excruciating just to sit down!

The horrible swelling that started at 25 weeks and had me looking like the Stay Puft marshmellow man.

The unrelenting nausea throughout almost the whole pregnancy, and not being able to sleep (no matter what I did, I was constantly waking up every couple of hours).

I had this horrible taste in my mouth all the time! If I wasn't eating, drinking, chewing gum, or sucking on a piece of candy, it would make me sick to my stomach. Yuck!

That anxiety I experienced at the end, hands down. It was absolutely debilitating!! Even worse than being on bed rest.

Nausea was bad but the worst part of my pregnancy was my nervousness.....I didn't find out until I was 5.5 weeks pregnant so I had alcohol a few times before that. I got into a car accident that made me bleed for days so I was worried about my baby until delivery day!

I actually had a *really* easy pregnancy, so the only problem I had was horrible pelvic pain that made it feel like someone kicked me right on the pelvic bone everytime I tried to walk, sit or stand. That started in the last month, so I would easily go through that again.

The round ligament pain and then the groin pain. She dropped early so, I got to carry her practically in my vagina for a month or so. Her head leaned on a nerve. Ugh.

With #1 the bleeding
With #2.. The fatigue!
Both my pregnancies overall were/have been good though!

24 weeks of really bad morning sickness. I pretty much stayed in pajamas on my couch the entire time.

@mrs. wagon: Yeah, I was on edge week 24 and on! For days after the accident I was convinced that the baby was moving less. I held ice packs to my belly until she would kick....LOL!

My acne was horrible (and is again this 2nd time).
And then I got the worst head cold ever in my last two weeks that lasted another two weeks pp. It was horrible! I was so blocked and I just wanted to smell my newborn baby but I couldn't.

I had the horrible taste in my mouth for the 1st trimester and part of the 2nd tri. And then towards the end I had excruciating heartburn...
