    Pg symptoms so different second time round - is this common?

    I'm pg for the second time, and I can't get over how different I feel compared to my blissful pg with DS. With DS, I didn't suffer morning sickness, had mild fatigue only, no loss of appetite, no general feeling of blah.

    This time round, I'm constantly fatigued, feel off colour to varied degrees (though no vomiting), don't have any appetite, feel like I've no energy/motivation and I feel blah about 90pc of the time. It's an "effort" to do anything atm.

    Anyone have any theories as to why pgs can differ so substantially? Is this something that's fairly common? Admittedly I'm now working part-time and have an active toddler to care for, but I'm not sure that accounts 100pc for the way I feel.

    Welcome thoughts ...

    mine were very, very different this time to last time, pretty much as you have described yours actually. MS let up at 18 weeks, didnt have anything other than no AF and big belly last time.

    because each one is exactly that, different
    you would not expect the actual child to be the same when born so why the same when pregnant

    hope things get better soon

    lol, im on my 3rd pregnancy, and yet agin its different. My DH said maybe im having a monkey this time, silly man. But yep each baby/child is different, so i suppose each pregnancy has to be different to.
