How different are your pregnancies?

Question

Hey Second Time Moms!
I’m only 5 weeks along and already this pregnancy has been different than my first. I didn’t many symptoms in early pregnancy the first time, besides sore boobies. This time, my boobies are sore and I’m nauseous and tired all the time!! ALL THE TIME!!
I wqs wondering, for those of you harsher along, what’s been the biggest difference between your first pregnancy and your second?
I’m actually glad I’m having more symptoms this time. My last pregnancy had a few issues so I’m happy the hormones are coming on strong this time.

Answer

I’m a second time mom as well! Definitely different from my first pregnancy, I started noticing symptoms at 1 month this time around and showing a lot earlier. Ive been having excruciating boob pain, extreme fatigue, sensitive to every single smell, i am hungry all the time and feel nauseous throughout the whole morning. With my first pregnancy, I didn’t have any symptoms until 4 months.

Answer

I’m a second time mom and so many things was different with my second pregnancy. First pregnancy was a boy and second is a girl
For starters; 
1) Constant morning sickness to the point I had to take a leave from work. I was sick and miserable Through out my entire pregnancy except the end then I got super hungry and I started staying up super late.
2) Craving fast food especially spicy food and sweets. I always felt hungry as if I was starving. And water was my best friend.
3) So much kicking! Baby was super active my oh my. All through my pregnancy she kicked and kicked. Back pain was a b*tch. 
4) I had GBS strep b so that was new and then I had yeast and BV (all those were super rough) I wasn’t planning on those
5) Moody- my oh my was I ever moody. I was always having back pains and I cried a lot. I really hated being pregnant. Plus when I had so much Braxton Hicks which hurt as hell!
6) Final one was my labour and delivery. The contractions were a b*tch! They hurt so bad and I don’t even think the epidural
Kicked in because I still had my contractions and pushing hurt and I felt as if I pushed too hard because my recovery for this pregnancy was tougher than my first. It was so hard to get around, I was literally limping and my coochie was heavy which is expected but it felt wayyyy heavier than my first. it’s still heavy when I sleep as of now so I still sleep with a pillow between my legs.

Answer

Nausea started a week earlier and was SO MUCH WORSE. Ugh, it was hard. Went away a couple weeks later this time too, around 13weeks. Also just general discomfort with my bump growing, I’m 16 weeks now and I did not have this with my first. I’m also working a desk job instead of serving, so maybe all the sitting is the reason

Answer

Exactly the same and I have a boy and a girl.

Answer

My first and second pregnancy were very different. I was really sick first trimester with my first but then around 14 weeks it passed and I was pretty much good until delivery. Barely any symptoms other than typical discomfort and soreness and bad heartburn stuff. Second pregnancy I was sick again first trimester but got on medicine, wasn’t able to get off it until 26 weeks and still was nauseous just was bearable. I had soo much discomfort and morning sickness all throughout, was more emotional, lots of cravings, just everything.

Answer

During this time in my last pregnancy I was throwing up all the time. This time I feel fine. Occasionally a little tired but that’s it! Thanks goodness

Answer

I was similar with my first I had very few symptoms but this one T1 was brutal.  So much nausea, exhaustion and body aches and couldn’t eat much other than cereal and bagels which packed on the pounds.  Luckily by week 16 of T2 (I’m 20 weeks now) things have calmed down and while I still have days with no energy I’m able to at least stay awake and keep food down.  Though I still have some food aversions (mainly meat), I had those with my first also.  Another strange thing is with my first my hair went from thin and straight to thick and wavy and this pregnancy it’s stayed thick but has straightened back out which is nice!  Both pregnancies are boys so it’s not a gender factor on any symptoms but the 2 pregnancies have been very different!

Answer

Omg mine are night and day! So different! I loved being pregnant with my first son, not many symptoms at all really with him and just so happy pregnant! But with our second son I was sick till about 16 weeks and now I'm 26 weeks dealing with pelvic girdle pain. It's crazy to me how different this pregnancy is lol but obviously completely worth it!

Answer

Both of my pregnancies have been the exact same

Answer

With my son I was hot all the time and with my daughter I was cold. That and exhaustion vs insomnia were the biggest differences. I started throwing up with both at 7 weeks.
