Moms of 2+, Pregnancy question...

Do you feel like your 2nd pg was very much the same as the 1st?
Did you have the same fatigue, morning sickness, weight gain, etc? Or was it completely different? Did you have some similarities between the two(or more) or is every baby so different that it makes your pregnancy completely different?
Just some things that I have been thinking about...just curious I guess

ooohhh?????????? lol just out of simple curiosities or something more????????? :-D
My two pregnancies were completely different. However, the beginning symptoms were ths same -- a lot of fatigueness.
WIth the first - very little morning sickness, Eli had the hiccups every single day and was positioned very high, over my ribs, and very uncomfortable. I gained at least 50lbs.
With the second, I had morning sickness every day through the first trimester, I gained 27lbs, and she was positioned very low causing excrutiating pain to the groin area. I could not sit for long periods of time in the last trimester.
Labor and delivery were very different as well. The first was a long 19 hours of varying contractions (I went to the hospital three times before admitted). The second time around -- contractions were consistent and got harder as the day drew on -- a total of 5 hours. I presented 10cm dialated and she was crowning.
My birth plans were the opposite too. WIth Eli I wanted an all natural birth. But wound up on pitocin and receiving an epi simply because I was exhausted by the time I was admitted. With Chelsea I wanted an epi but because the labor was fast -- there was no time for anything other than to push.
For me, the second time around was easier. I was more experienced and knew exactly what to expect. I guess, the only similarity between the two -- was how I loved being pregnant and enjoyed every kick, hiccup, swirling motion I experienced. Enjoy!
LOL! NO!! Not pregnant with #2 yet! At least I don't think
But, I have to admit, it has been going through my mind...eeek! Can you tell we have a teething break in my house and my daughter has been an angel?! It makes you start to think, "oh, this isn't so bad anymore, maybe we can have more..." I know, I'm crazy to be thinking like this!
Mine is been pretty much the same when it comes to feeling sick. I have been blessed both times and only have felt nauseous a few times, a few vomiting episodes and more or less the same?tiredness.?
?Now this pregnancy I have gained a few more pounds maybe 40 total ( Diego I gained 35).
The position of this is being a bit of a challenge for me since I never had a problem reaching my legs or my toes..lol with Diego. I guess that being head down made a difference for me.
?Now, this pregnancy was much, much easier in?reference?to being worry since many things I had?experience?with Diego and knew where alright. You still worry, I know I did but to a lessen level.?
It went by so much faster as well.
?Now....When are you going to gives us the good news?.....lol

My pregnancies were different, although both were fairly easy. I noticed much more fatigue and definitely more nausea with my second. I was ravenous during my first pregnancy and not at all during my second, which may account for the fact that my weight gain was different: 40 lbs with the first and 25 with the second.
