similar pregnancy?

-- 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!

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...

  • Very similar. I had a little m/s with #2 and none with #1, but that's about the only difference. Gained same amt of weight both times.
  • 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)!!

  • Mine were different. I gained 24 pounds with DS and he was 6 weeks early and I had no morning sickness with him. I only gained 18 pounds with DD and she was born at 39weeks and I was SOOOOOO sick the 1st trimester with DD. My 2nd pregnancy seemed to go by faster but we moved in the middle and I had DS to take care of too.

  • Pretty similar. No ms with either (yes!) but gaining a lot less this time and really don't look pregnant yet. This def took me by surprise because I always heard that you get bigger faster with your second. I was shamu-like at 24 weeks with DS1. Time is flying by this time around.
  • 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.
