26months pregnant

You are almost there, hang in there! Someone in my mum group mentioned that second pregnancies tend to hit harder overall, and quite a few mums noticed they felt more exhausted carrying girls compared to their boys, so you are definitely not alone in that. The breathlessness is really common as your uterus grows and pushes up against your diaphragm, but do keep an eye out if it comes with things like sudden swelling, persistent headaches, or dizziness, those are worth flagging to your gynae sooner rather than later. Rest whenever you can, even short breaks really add up, and be kind to yourself because your body is working so hard right now!

Aww, 26 weeks can already feel so uncomfortable, especially when you're chasing after another child too ❤️ The breathlessness is also pretty common as your growing uterus starts pushing up against your diaphragm, although it's always worth mentioning it to your OB, especially if it's severe, happens at rest, or comes with chest pain, palpitations, or dizziness. Hang in there, mama. Take things one week at a time, rest whenever you can, and don't hesitate to bring it up at your next checkup if the breathlessness or fatigue feels worse than expected.
