-- I also posted this on 3rd tri:)
How similar were your pregnancies. Did you gain less/more or the same? Do you think time has gone by faster the second time (or third etc..)? so far for me it's similar except my spider veins are mega bad this time around and time has gone slightly faster chasing a toddler... I am ready to have my body back though!
tia!
Re: similar pregnancy?
SO very different in every possible way.
I gained 65 with #1 and lost 14 with #2 before gaining 14 back. I was so sick with #2 for weeks on end...
So far as different as they can be. With M I wanted only sweet things (fruit, candy, ices, etc), now savory & protein. I had no m/s with M an now I have it. I was never tired with m and I'm exhausted now. I could go on & on.
All 3 PG were the same. First 2 I gained 24lbs, 3rd I gained 18lbs (because it was the only PG I exercised through).
As for going faster, it went faster the 2nd time, and even faster the 3rd time. Most people completely forgot I was PG the 3rd time (I don't look very PG until around 7 months also)!!
my second was worse. I gained about the same amount of weight with both. The second one, I had morning sickness and had to keep extra trash bags in my office, but what was really bad was the last trimester. I started having painful B-H contractions that would wake me up at night at about 27 weeks. They never really went away. I also delivered #1 at 37 weeks, but went to 39.5 weeks with #2. I was expecting to deliver early, so those last two weeks were torture.
