I'm currently 5DPO and thinking im feeling things but not entirely sure. So wondering how soon you had your early symptoms the second time around. Also was your morning sickness (if it was terrible) better the next time or did it only get worse? Any other info you want to share would be great.
This pregnancy is entirely different to my first.
Some days it is easy to forget I am pregnant.
I think emotions and state of mind probably have a lot to do with it, and that my emotional instability with DS pregnancy probably exacerbated my symptoms, per se.
This pregnancy I had a feeling. I hadnt really ever had a strong feeling about being pregnant before, but this month, it wouldn't budge.
I had in the start a lack of appetite and the metallic mouth, but was lucky enough to get away with no m/s. Was sick until 16wks with DS... no vomiting just constant nausea. I had cravings from 6wks with DS (peaches, particularly) and many food aversions and preferences... this time... i am mostly my normal self. A little fussy with foods, but i became that way when pregnant with DS.
I havent had any insomnia this time, but I have felt the exhaustion a lot more.
Thats about it off the top of my head.
This time around I started feeling symptoms quite early during the TWW. I felt off my food and a bit blergh in the tummy in the evenings. The morning sickness was worse with this pregnancy but it really wasn't too bad with my first. One thing I've noticed is that I'm so much less emotional this time :lol: no horrible mood swings and barely any tears! When I was pregnant with my son I was a complete mess so this is a nice change!
Similar to CM here.... Felt the symptoms earlier, I was sicker, actually vomited a few times where with my first I just felt generally nauseous.
Don't remember being emotional either... As much anyway!
Felt much much more tired as I was still bf as well as being pg but was unable to "indulge" my tiredness - no naps during the day when you've got a LO!
Thanks girls :)
I am beginning to think i am. I am really tired much more than usual, crampy, sense of smell has changed, felt really nauseas at work last night to the point i was dry heaving. wont know anything until atleast next wednesday.
Oooo sounds very positive LMS!! Good luck. Hope you get that BFP!

FX for you LMS, I hope you get your BFP.
With my second I just had a strong feeling I was pregnant but the thing that convinced me I was was that I had watched a midday movie and when I went to tell my DH about it and could not remember ANYTHING about the movie...at all! I knew then I was was :D
I don't think I felt things any sooner rather I was more aware of what happens in early pregnancy, my body and where in my cycle I was/am.
Morning sickness with DD (so my 3rd pregnancy, 2nd full term) was bar far the worse, constant 24/7 for weeks on end and not even being able to keep water down and also the most shocking head aches.
In the TWW things were exactly the same for me both times. No physical symptoms, although second time my lower abdomen felt firmer and not just bloated ITMS. The strangest thing was at about 7DPO both times I had a really vivid dream where I was holding a new baby and I knew it was mine. It was like meeting my baby on a spiritual level for the first time. It sounds so bizarre and I'm not usually what I'd call the metaphysical type, but it was so strong. I must sound like such a weirdo. :redface:
I knew I was pg before I took a test both times. No other pg symptoms for another week or so. But I am really fortunate and pg goes easily on my body, so I don't have the more severe first tri stuff.
I felt a bit off/different a couple of days before my BFP with both pregnancies (13dpo this time, 14 dpo last time) and I had spotting with my first pregnancy (10, 11 & 12dpo) but none with this one.
MS was worse with this pregnancy and started earlier (5 weeks instead of 6) but eased off a little earlier around 10-11 weeks while it was about 14 weeks with my first pregnancy.
I honestly wouldn't have known I were pregnant if I hadn't seen two lines on a whole lot of sticks... I felt nauseated with DS, and tired, and couldn't even think of touching raw meat. This time none of the above. Well - tired, but as someone else said, couldn't indulge it :( I think they're all different - I hope you get your BFP!!
Thanks for all your inputs :)
With DD i just knew i was pregnant only days after conception this time i'm not sure. I'm having signs that are telling me. Like with DD i noticed my pee was bright yellow at the beginning and i have that, my boobs feel tingly and are getting darker, my sense of smell has definitely heightened i can smell everyones deoderant/perfume/cologne those who were none at all! bad breath, whether they had been drinking, bad breath.. oh my goodness the works!! im tired, crampy and extremely moody and emotional.
I noticed implantation spotting with both about 10DPO. This time i knew what it was though....last time i just hoped (although i'm sure i did this time too!!)....
I noticed the metallic taste in my mouth alot earlier (instead of 6weeks i noticed it at 4wwks) & i could smell gross kitchen smells from 4wks this time, don't remember that at all last time.
No morning sickness with either preg but i did feel a bit yuck if i didn't eat 'on time' with both from about 4wks. oh and leg cramps started probably from about 15wks last pregnancy they started right from when i concieved this time. partially cuz i'm very deficient in minerals atm!
that's all i can tell atm because i'm only 6weeks :)
Very, very similar to the first, but a little less morning sickness (not that I had much the first time).
Third was the different one - I think the only symptom I got was getting fat, which is probably the dream pregnancy everyone wants lol - didn't even get sore boobs.
Im with dragoncookie- I foget im pg sometimes
I also had a bit of depression with this one in the beginning and severe nauasea
