    My first pregnancy was a lot different to my second. With my son, I hardly had any morning sickness and felt like I carried quite low. I had high blood pressure and was diagnosed with mild pre-eclampsia by the end of the pregnancy.

    This time around, I was sick pretty much everyday for a couple of months, carried high and my blood pressure has been normal. I had a feeling I was having a girl this time because of the differences and I was right!

    Couldn't be more different.

    DS was EASY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not sick, not tired, energised the whole time, birth dead easy. Just a lot easier than I thought it would be.

    This time....... sick, sick, sick..................no energy and feel like I've been run over by a tram most days. Not only that, have had to have an amnio for this one, on which I am waiting for results. Nothing like this for DS. I hope the end is just as easy as DS, but the way my luck has been going on the first 17 weeks, I would be very surprised.

    Must be a girl!!!

    All of mind have been different, but I have had morning sickness with every one. 8 and a half months worth with my first. Could keep down burger rings though. With the third I lost heaps of weight. This one though, I get more aches in the pelvic region and pains in the abdomen when I stretch. Sometimes its when I move at all.

    I actually dont remember much about my second pregnancy and delivery at all. Its really strange. I just have this big block of partial amnesia. Its all gone.

    With DD1, i was fine the whole pregnancy, only a little bit queasy for a few weeks early on but i could ignore that. And i didnt show until about 7 months.
    With this one, i had horrible queasiness for weeks where i didnt want to do anything, extreme back ache and heartburn, im anemic and so tired.I started showing at about 14 weeks and was huge at 20 weeks. I put it all down to having a 3 year old and that this one is a boy but ive been told twice now that its a girl!

    My pg's with my girls were almost exactly the same til labour. Severe m/s lasting til well over half way, but then feeling not too bad til the end.
    DS hardly any m/s at all, but SPD started at around 16 - 20 weeks & was horrible for the rest of it & I still have problems with it. My pg with him was completely different.
