Third pregnancy symptoms

So I’m currently 21 weeks pregnant with my third child… and it’s horrendous. I’m very grateful and excited, however I have been feeling awful pretty much the entire pregnancy. I have low blood pressure so I think that may be contributing… I have headaches everyday, feel nauseous (no vomiting) and am extremely tired. I went to the GP and the did blood tests which came back normal… just wondering if anyone has been through the same thing? Every day is a struggle and I have to take paracetamol everyday or I can’t cope… is it just the exhaustion from already having a 3 and 1 year old? Thanks in advance!

My second pregnancy I spent half of it on the couch sick. Low BP as well, vomiting ect. I think the mental load of the other kids definitely has an impact as well

@Victoria sorry to hear you went through the same! It’s so hard isn’t it when you have other little ones to care for

Sorry to hear! It’s so hard being sick in any way when you can’t just lay up and rest. Hope things improve

@Hayley thank you Hayley 🤍

I had my 3rd just last year and my other two children were just 3yrs (only 2wks before Bub was born) and 4.5yrs. I found that pregnancy the hardest definitely from the middle of the pregnancy to the end. I was still working 3 days a week and just the mental load and bathing/dressing/cooking etc every day and not being able to rest really makes you feel run down. All I can say is just rest whenever you can.. before you know it Bub will be here and all this will be forgotten 🫶

@Sars thanks so much Sars, I’m very fortunate that I’m able to stop working for the time being so I can try and rest when the kids are at day care… very true when bubs is here this will be a not too distant memory.. hope you and the kids are doing well :)

@Amanda just take every day at a time… bonus you don’t have to worry about working at this point in the pregnancy. We are all well thanks, my eldest starts kindergarten in a couple of weeks.. so that is going to be a massive adjustment for us all and I’m starting back at work (just from home which is great) this coming week which will be 1 day a week. Very nervous about all these changes… but hopefully we can all have a fantastic year ☺️ Wishing you all the best with your labour and enjoying baby snuggles 🥰🤗♥️
