How hard is pregnancy with 2+?

Hi everyone, just want to say I love this sub so much! I appreciate the positive takes on raising large families.

We just had our second baby a few months ago, with a 21 month age gap, and are hoping for 4-5 kids total for our family. I want to have a 2.5-3 year gap before our next kid, but my biggest fear with building our family is handling pregnancy with more children who need me. I really struggle with the lethargy and limitations of pregnancy. I am so grateful we don't have issues getting pregnant, and I love that we have two beautiful children. I'm just nervous I won't have enough to give my kids with each subsequent pregnancy.

So how do you all get through it? What does your family routine look like through each pregnancy? Presumably my kids will be playing together by the time we get pregnant again, will that make things easier? I'm also just in the trenches right now with our kiddos, so adding to this chaos feels like a huge challenge

Basically the title. I have a woven wrap, and I know I'm wearing her correctly. The carrier is fantastic and supportive, but my body is HURTING. Probably because I grew two humans in less than two years, and never really got back in shape. But how are you all doing this?! I thought babywearing would be this fantastic solution to navigating 2u2, and I love keeping my baby close to me, but I'm so physically exhausted all the time. Does it get better with time? Will I get stronger? I feel so weak and incapable 😭
