It does get harder at first, like a balloon over-filled. When you try to keep it all in there, it's big and uncomfortable and terrible. But once you start letting it out, it all comes rushing out and feels overwhelming. But eventually, it starts to fade and you aren't "over-filled" anymore. It does get easier eventually, but it gets harder first.
