No. I had a migraine every since day I was pregnant except two. I remember exactly which two days. Carrying isn't everything.

OP, you ask about "easier" but seem focused on wieght. The two aren't necessarily related. I'm short 5 ' 2 and had a really easy first pregnancy.

Another 5'8 PP, with a long torso: it definitely helped the first time around (I think) in terms of not showing crazy early. I never had heartburn, either. But I did have HG, so there was that.

5'8" pp here, and yes to both the pelvic and hip pain. Couldn't walk for two weeks. Regular chiropractic and massage finally gave me some relief.

5 11 here, mine was pretty easy. Terrible delivery though.

I think they're less likely to have issues with shortness of breath.

I'm medium-tall (5'8"), and I've carried really well. But I also feel like I've been kicked in the crotch the past 4 months, so there's that.

I don't know about easier, but I know most have longer torsos so they don't look as fat as I do. Short torsos suck.

"Easier" is a relative term. Each woman has her own experience, and each pregnancy is different. There are a myriad of symptoms/responses/changes that can cause discomfort.

Since the weight spreads out more? Or is that bullshit?
