Just curious..for those with more than 1 child, how did your pregnancies differ?

I am not pg but we'll be trying soon.

I get worried that I'll go through the bad morning sickness again (had it from 8-14 weeks with DS).

I know I'll get through it, but the thought of being so sick while chasing my very active toddler scares the holy jesus out of me.

Anyone have completley diff. pregnancies? Or did anyones MS get worse? Better?

Would love to hear!!

I had really bad morning sickness with both pregnancies and they both lasted the same amount of time. After morning sickness was over with the second pregnancy, the rest of the pregnancy was much better than the first.

My pregnancies were all pretty similar except my morning sickness with Emma was 10000000000x worse than it was with the boys

They were completely different. First one was a breeze and I felt great up until going into full-blown labor. Second one was tougher physically and I ran out of steam early on.

Thanks everyone....I just always wonder how it will be, and I won't know till I go through it I guess.

I know my mom had 6 kids and all were pretty different. But he MS got better with the second pregnancy, then back to AWFUL for her third. I guess you never know?!

Honestly, I was just a second ago saying to my husband that its so weird that this pregnancy is so different that my first one. And then I come upon your post

Anyway, with my first, I was sick the whole first trimester....all day sickness, with throwing up at night almost every night. I was also very tired, and usually in bed by 9. Then my second trimester came, and I felt fabulous from then on (I did start having contractions at 28 weeks, but honestly I have to say I had a fabulous pregnancy. They didnt hurt, I was just concerned that I would go into preterm labor, but everything worked out)

With this one, the first trimester was a breeze....very little morning sickness...and I was tired for no more than a week. Then the second trimester came and I feel AWFUL. I am tired all the time and a real witch. I hate that I am so fiesty, but I honestly can't help it. Plus I am exhausted all the time...if I am in bed later than 9, its awful.
