can two pregnancies really be so different?
with #1 I was already throwing up in week 5.
before af was ever late, I had flu symptoms, aches and pains.
this time is nothing. if my period wasn't late and I did not get a bfp, I would have no idea I was pregnant.
I am very tired, I always stayed up past midnight, now I am in bed by 10:30. But still walking 3 miles a day in this heat pushing stroller feeling fine.
I soooooooooo don't want to jinx anything, but I have a hard time believing this is happening.

Re: can two pregnancies really be so different?
That's what they say. To be honest, this pregnancy seems pretty similar to last for me, but I feel the way you described. I'm fine during the day, try to go walking 2-3 miles, no nauseau or aches and pains. I'm even less fatigued then I was with DS. So I am living proof that you can feel good and be pregnant!

Re: can two pregnancies really be so different?
I am the same wayyyy. I got my + early b/c we did fertility treatments to conceive #2. I have been extra tired but other than that I feel NOTHING like I did when preg with DS (food aversions, crazy heartburn, cravings up the wazoo, back pain, etc).
I had a rough rough preg with him (part of the reason we waited so long to go for #2) and this is like a different world!

Re: can two pregnancies really be so different?
Yes, I had totally different pregnancies with by boys/girls.
When I'm pregnant with a girl, I don't even feel pregnant. No nausea, NOTHING.
With my boys, I was sick all the time.
Maybe you're having a girl this time

i have no symptoms now except for tiredness. i sometimes think i am nauseous but then i think i am just hungry.
last time i was the same but i had a lot of cramping so i knew i was pregnant. with this one, nada.
so don't worry about not having symptoms

Re: can two pregnancies really be so different?
I don't know if this counts since my first pregnancy ended in a miscarraige. BUT...
The first time, I had every symptom under the sun - naseau, sore boobs, insomnia, etc....
The second one - not one pregnancy symptom until I was 9 weeks along - and then it was just really bad nasuea 24/7, but still never had the sore boobs, insomnia, etc...

Re: can two pregnancies really be so different?
For me they are like night and day. With DS I threw up at least 5 times a day for 7 months. He was breech and positioned himself so far back that he caused increased pressure on my spinal column that in turn made my optic nerves swell. I lost peripheral vision. I had pre-eclampsia with a headache from week 25 on that included spots, halos, floaters, double vision, etc. I was put on strict left side only bed rest. With DS pg I felt like I was hit by a mac truck repeatedly.
For this pg, I had less than 2 weeks of morning sickness and if I threw up maybe ten times total that was it. I am tired, but in no way like it was for DS. I am having a girl this time. I am now 26 weeks and getting a little more tired but I think it is more a function of the heat and where I am in the pg.

Re: can two pregnancies really be so different?
YES!
This current pregnancy is totally different then my 1st pregnancy with DD.
I swear from the day I got my BFP (this pregnancy) I have been SICK and miserable. My last pregnancy was a dream.

Re: can two pregnancies really be so different?
Absolutely! With DS, I had a lot of nausea and puked maybe a handful of times throughout the whole pregnancy. With this pregnancy, I was puking at least 3-4 times a week and sometimes multiple times a day all throughout my first trimester. DS also kicked me like crazy and while this baby moves a lot, the movement is much more subtle.

Re: can two pregnancies really be so different?
Another difference I've noticed is weight gain. I thikn I gained 3lbs my entire first trimester with DS. I'm barely over 6 weeks and already up almost 5lbs. I know that part of it is because we've been away a lot and just eating more junk then I would at home, but still, 5lbs is a lot to gain so quickly.

Re: can two pregnancies really be so different?
I was pregnant once before. It ended in a miscarriage, but I was completely exhausted and had majorly sore boobs. This time around I had alot of energy until about 16 weeks, not even a speck or soreness in my boobs, no nausea...
I didn't mind!

Re: can two pregnancies really be so different?
I am a little over 6 weeks and def feel this pregnancy is different from my last one. Since it's better I am it stays this way. I have some nausea but I can function for the most part and once I eat it gets better almost instantly, with DS i was sick 24/7 starting at around 5 weeks until I gave birth at 41 weeks, it was horrible

Re: can two pregnancies really be so different?
Yes! They can be different! With DS I rarely had MS, had a ton of energy by the 2nd Tri and worked 2 jobs (FT and P/T)
With DD, the MS kicked in quick, heartburn and soooooooo tired! No energy! Totally different.

Re: can two pregnancies really be so different?
from what i've been told - yes! a friend of mine has 3 sons. the first 2 pregnancies were ideal. no m/s. no symptoms. nothing!
her 3rd pregnancy was pure hell on earth. M/S for almost 6 months. bedrest. complication after complication.

Re: can two pregnancies really be so different?
YES! For me it was the exact opposite. With my first pregnancy I felt NOTHING until about 6.5 wks when the morning sickness hit. This time around I started feeling nausea b/f I even got a BFP! With my DS I felt GREAT until 6.5 wks and then sick as a dog until about 9.5 wks and then great again. With this pregnancy I've felt a little sick since day one. Morning sickness off and on started at 5.5 wks and now at just about 12 wks I am still feeling sick off and on and exhausted all the time!
