Different Pregnancies?

[CAAinMN]

How different were your pregnancies? With DD i was sick from the day i found out. This time, i have had a bit of nausea, but not like last time. I actually feel great! I do have some cramping, but no morning sickness. Which does make me a bit nervous. Tell me your experiences!

[Woogelaide]

all of my pregnancies were completely different. I say you should enjoy feeling good right now, because soon it's going to hit you like a ton of bricks and you won't have time to nap because you have a toddler to chase after all day. Congratulations!

They were both exactly the same. Morning sickness started and ended the same weeks both times. It was eery how similar they were.

Mine were very different. I did have morning sickness start at the same time, but that was it.

Knock on wood, but my toddler naps 2 1/2 hours a day. So hopefully that continues and i can get a nap in myself. I'm wondering if it's different hormones? I really would like a boy to carry on DH's family name and i have always wanted one of each. Of course i will be happy with just a healthy baby!!!

with my son i was barely nauseated, and had sore breasts.. this time i have super nausea and no sore breasts. so they are different. i am finding that they are different in many ways

The m/s was pretty close between my two... MUCH worse this time around but they both started at the 6 week mark.

However EVERYTHING else has been TOTALLY different.

I wouldn't worry if you aren't feeling the same way, I've heard SO many people say their pregnancies were different!

My pregnancies were like night and day to each other. With DD I was sick from the get-go. I didn't know I was pregnant with her and went to the dr because I had an ear infection and then a week later got what I thought was an intestinal bug. Then I realized I was two weeks late for AF and tested and BFP - quite a shock. The sickness continued to 13 weeks along with high emotionality. I felt like I was dying I felt so awful. Then I got pre-e at the end and had to deliver early and after that got awful PPD.

With DS I had absolutely no morning sickness and felt great throughout the pregnancy. I was happy and typically felt in good spirits. He came without complications and I had a euphoric feeling for 6wks after his birth.

Mine have been very similar. My first child is a girl and this one is a boy. There have been minor differences, but nothing that made me think "boy".

With DD I had implantation bleeding at 8-9 dpo, my hair fell out during my pregnancy (opposite of what generally happens) and I got pg-induced carpal tunnel syndrome in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters. I also had weird stuff happening with my skin like skin tags, spider hemangiomas and random dry patches.

This time, my hair isn't falling out and I don't have carpal tunnel (yet. knock wood). I do have the weird stuff happening with my skin.

I had linia negra with DD and I don't have one this time...

My weight gain pattern and morning sickness have been very similar in the two pregnancies...

Mine have been very different so far. I was never sick with Jodi. This time while I have been nauseous, I have been gagging until I throw up. I am congested and I have been having nosebleeds. Luckily, I am not as tired as I was with Jodi.

[axoknp1885]

With DS, I had food aversions, but no m/s. I was tired and moody all of the time.

With this pg, I had m/s 12 hours/day every day from wk 6 to wk 14. I am still gaggy from time to time but mostly in the evenings. I am exhausted, but not as much as I was with DS. I don't find out what I am having this time around til 12/16/11.

I am pulling for a girl, though, since this is my last pg and it would be nice to have one of each. But, of course, I will be happy with either a boy or a girl that is healthy.

My first two pregnancies were pretty similar, except iwith DD I was fatigued throughout my entire pregnancy. With DS I had lots of energy. No m/s with either. This pregnancy, I had some m/s, never threw up though, but couldn't cook raw meat, smell certain things/foods, had a haaaard time wiping butts and changing diapers, etc. i was fatigued in the beginning, but nowdays it sort of comes and goes. A big similarity between DDs pregnancy and this one (also a girl) is my appetite. I crave healthy things, fruits, veggies, salads, light sandwiches, no fast food at all (except mc Donald's ice cream cones ahhhh). I've gained three pounds so far this time, it was similar with DD, but it's DS, man all I wanted was pork chops, steaks, prime rib, cheeseburgers, rice and gravy, fast food. I gained over 40 pounds with him lol. With DD I gained a little less than 30 and hopefully I won't gain more than 25 with this one lol.

My were complete opposites. With ds1 I was only sick for a week. With ds2 I was sick from 4 weeks until I gave birth. I also craved different things with each.
