Intro & 2nd timer ?

Kerrbearr75 · September 2010

Hi,

I have been lurking since before my BFP and am now 9 weeks and ready to introduce myself. I am a scaredy cat pregnant person, so I never like to tell too early, lol. I am so happy to be joining you ladies!

So, my question for 2nd timers, I know they say you show earlier, which I am well prepared for, and with DD I only put on 2 lbs in 1st tri so I shouldn't be worried (and am somewhat happy) that I still haven't put any on - am actually down 2 lbs, but can't help but worry that my only symptoms this time are pure exhaustion and major queasiness...no boob swelling, minimal occasional bloating, nothing. And I keep getting small amounts of the brownish discharge everytime I go to the bathroom. We did see a HB of 125 at 6w3d, so I guess I am just looking for reassurance that everything is fine and it is just different this time because I am working full time and running around after a 16 month old - there isn't time for my body to sit and swell and that other stuff, right? I am not a good pregnant person! lol.

Thanks ladies!

Well, I am super duper early in the game here so I hope I don't jinx myself but I have zero symptoms so far. A little bit tired, but I am chasing around an 18 month old. I think with everything you have going on you just don't have as much time to listen to your body's cues.

This is #2 for me and this time has been totally different. I was in the hospital 12 times with my DD but this time, so far, only a little queasiness. I spotted like you are most of my 1st tri with DD, this time none. No boob soreness this time. I think that every pregnancy is so diff. Be encouraged! I'm sure everything is perfect!

Thanks, ladies! Yeah, I had every symptom in the book last time, was bloated and in new pants by week 7 (even though minimal weight gain), boobs were swollen and tender and I was ravenous. This time, none of that and totally want to dry heave all day longs, lol. Thanks for the support!
