How did your current pregnancy differ from your first/others?

Very different. With Sarah I had no morning sickness, this time I was pretty sick for the first 3 months. I have a lot of lower back pain and I'm so exhausted all the time this time, which my doctor says is b/c I'm caring for Sarah this time around. Plus I have this werid nerve thing going on where my upper left thigh feels like it's on fire all the time.

Sarah seemed a lot more active than this baby, but it could honestly be that most of the time I'm so involved with Sarah that I'm ignoring this baby when it moves. Chat Icon

I'm nowhere near as paranoid as I was the first time around. Most of the time I can barely remember what week point I'm in. Chat Icon

First pregnancy was a piece of cake.. never once felt any MS, didnt gain alot of weight...

Second pregnany I was deathly sick.. could barely leave the house because I was always vomiting.
They were both boys

This pregnancy I dont feel so sick but I am sooooooooooo tired, which I wasnt really with the other 2. Maybe its casue Im older?

I'm not too far into this 2nd pregnancy, but so far, it's completely different.

1st pregnancy- Horrible MS, zero appetite, weight loss in the first trimester, bleeding in the second trimester and a hospital trip, cholestasis in the third trimester, which lead to being induced 2 weeks early.

2nd pregnancy-No MS whatsoever, great appetite, weight gain in the first trimester. We'll see what the rest of the pregnancy has in store for me.

Re: Just curious..2nd, 3rd, etc. time preggers

The biggest difference I found is that having a child (or children) already is harder than being preggo in an adult only world. As much as I use to practically fall asleep at work when I was pg with #1 and ad a boss that didnt seem to care that I was pg, it was still an easier pregnancy than having young kids who dont understand your limitations. My prgnancy with my daughter (#2) was also very different b/c while I had no m/s with #1, I had horrid m/s with her (and some with #3 as well) but that can happen with any pregnancy, whether its your first or fifth.

Re: Just curious..2nd, 3rd, etc. time preggers

both pregnancies for me were just about identical. i had morning sickness with both, and it ended with both of them at week 12 on the dot. i gained the same exact amout of weight with both babies as well. the only one difference i guess would be my heartburn was worse with baby #2. both both babies had the same amount of hair, so you can forget about that wivestale, lol. oh btw, first pregnancy was a girl and second was a boy.

My first was a breeze. No sickness, I worked up until I delivered and felt good the whole time. I did have the heartburn and insomnia, but not much else to complain about. I did retain a lot of water too, and my weight gain was just over 30 lbs.

Second pregnancy I got sick from conception! swear, for the 11 weeks I was so nauseaus and sick. After that passed, it was good, but I am so tired all the time from chasing an almost 2 year old. I am having a girl this time. My weight gain is so much less. I still have horrid heartburn and insomnia, those haven't changed.

I carried huge last time, this time I don't feel as big. Both my babies have been breech too.
