ive been thinking lately how different this pregnancy is from my first. at the beginning i thought perhaps we were having a boy, as i was sooo sick, so tired etc, nothing like with dd!
ive had morning sickness that lasted all day and night from 10w-16w. ive got aching pelvis bones, by tummy is sooo much bigger and i feel so uncomfortable.. so much so that i cant believe i have 19 weeks to go still!!
so, whos had similar pregnancies? or like me and had 2 completely different pregnancies!
Both mine were complete opposites.
We thought DS2 was a girl because everything was so so different too.
I hope the rest of you pregnancy goes great!
xx
This pregnancy has been completely different to mine with DS.
first time around, no m/s, no realy pregnancy symptoms at all except big belly and no AF.
I was rarely tired til about 38 weeks, not sore etc. I also had belleding scares at 6 and 8 weeks that turned out ok.
I didnt have any baby movements til 24 weeks, and never had ones that caused discomfort until i was in labour. Also no braxton hicks that I noticed.
This time, m/s til 18 weeks, no apetite to speak of til 20 weeks. Nausea etc. sciatic nerve pain,reflux, pelvic instability, reflux. Did I mention reflux? lol
My belly is smaller and I think I have put on less weight, but I was about 10 kilos heavier at the outset
Thats the main differences that I can think of.
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!!!
Pg #1 - not sick at all, little bothered me, carried on as normal - GIRL
pg#2 - not sick at all, little bothered me, carried on as normal - GIRL
pg#3 - sick for 1st trimester, thrush, terrible itchy skin in last 4 wks of pg - GIRL
pg#4 - bit nauseaus...not really sick. Very tired, thrush......14 WKS TO FIND OUT...
Ive carried the same too - basketball type belly.....
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. :doh:
my 2 pregnancies have been v different...
the last one was so easy compared to this one.. ia m feeling good now but felt so awful in the 1st tri and for a few weeks after. also lots of ms and other yukkies... with the 1st i just felt fabulous the whole time!
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.
sooooooooo diff.
1- just ms that's it
2- no ms extremem tiredness achy bones spd heartburn
ahggggggggggg
My 1st pregnancy was very different from all the others... but I was only 14/15
The next 3 were identical almost... nausea from about 6-13 weeks no other complaints...
This pg the ms started earlier and has been more severe... 30 week to go!! LOL
I am not sure what I am having this time (girl for no1) but it has been a completely dif experience. Iam carrying dif, been sick, heartburn etc. Intially i put it down to the fact i just had glandular fever about 2 months bf falling preg. But now the sickness has passed they are still quite dif. I also think timing for this one was boy so i tend to think i am in with a good chance.
Dh keeps swaying from girl to boy to girl so he's no good. last time he said girl the whole way.
Mine were really similar. I got sick the day I turned six weeks with both of them, the only difference was with DS it went on for a good month longer than DD. Once the m/s went away they were pretty much identical.
Except I stayed pregnant for two weeks longer with DS as well.
When I look at photos of my belly from both pregnancies I can only tell which was which by the dates. My belly looked exactly the same - like I'd swallowed a beach ball :lol:
