Same / Different from last pg?

roxyttandme · February 2012

What is the same and what is different than your previous pg(s)?

Me:

Same: Exhausted.All.The.Time. Maternity clothes at 7 weeks, food aversion.

Different: I am bigger this time around, my boobs hurt way worse and my m/s is more intense - although I am vom'ing less.

Mostly the same as with DS. I think I am a little less sick than last time, but I'm on zofran this time instead of phenergan. The only thing different I've noticed is less heartburn.

JJsMom211 · February 2012

Same: my sense of smell. I hate my nose.

Different: m/s. I had with my first son, but it's 100 times worse this time. I've been puking all day, everyday. It's even become a new habit to puke in our parking garage at work everyday after work. It's great fun. Also, I have a lot more food aversions.

same: texture issuses with food and emotional

Different: less sickness, bigger belly, and bigger boobs!

beckslea · February 2012

Same: 1- Same amount of weight gain so far-way more than I would like but at least I started off small. 2-Major exhaustion.

Different: 1- Way more bloated. 2-M/S got better a lot sooner! 3-A lot more "growing pains" in first tri (i.e. cramping, stretching, etc.).

Sounds miserable! I hope you feel better soon!

Almost everything is different than last time. I was tired last time and had some food aversions, but otherwise at this point I could barely tell I was even pg. This time around, I have awful m/s, cravings, exhausted all the time but can't sleep well due to dreams, terrible indigestion and heartburn and just restlessness, and lots of bloating. I am already in maternity pants as I seem to have popped from bloat early this time and I just generally don't feel good. So for me, these pg's are like night and day. DS gave us some scares when he tried to come early a couple of times, so I'm hoping that this one is rough in the beginning and easy at the end - a girl can hope, right?

The only difference with this pregnancy so far is that my m/s started earlier (4w) as opposed to 7w with my other 2.

skyejo · February 2012

Same: I'm eating like I'm cool with gaining 100lbs

Different: my boobs aren't sore and my m/s was a million times worse

gingerfamily · February 2012

Same: Morning sickness and tiredness

Different: I'm not as paranoid, morning sickness was all day with DD and is now only in the mornings (for the most part).

I wasn't working when I was pg with DD so I had a lot more time to nap.

amanda31H · February 2012

Same: bad uterine stretching. Last time the doctor said it was because I was stretching out twice as much in the same period of time. This time she said it's likely because of scar tissue from my c/s. And craving carbs, but I've been able to curb it wayyy more.

Different: Almost everything. This pregnancy has been much easier. No food aversions, I'm tired but NOWHERE near like last time, no consistent cravings - I had about 4 things I craved like crazy last time. And I hae a lot of lower back ache this time. I didn't get that until much later last pregnancy. I think two toddlers contribute to that!

kvickery · February 2012

1st: extreme heartburn, fatigue, no m/s pretty much awesome pregnancy.

2nd: m/s since day 1 that last all day long, mood swings, face is broken out, already in maternity clothes, lots of cramping

This time is so different! I can't believe it!

Jodi2008 · February 2012

Same- no m/s, total exhaustion, huge sore boobs, craving and stuffing my face with sweets, little to no belly so far.

Different- acne! it's hideous. i'm also a lot more moody this time around, i get super annoyed with everything.

ELCJet · February 2012

Same: M/S came at the same time, just as horrible 2nd time around; exhaustion; sore boobs

Different: My cravings and aversions are totally different this time -- fruit is the only thing I crave these days, but with DS I had a ton of crap! I have been able to hold out longer on maternity clothes this time around. I can't exercise as much with this one -- makes me really dizzy when I run, whereas last pregnancy I was running through 22 weeks and doing Master Swim until 36 weeks!

jocymama · February 2012

Same: Really sore boobs, craving sweets, also some of the food aversions I had the 1st time (spaghetti) are the same now and so are some of the cravings (pudding pops)

Different: I am bigger this time around, more nauseous, more exhausted and more irritable. So all the good things Stick out tongue

missaloha · February 2012

same: sore boobs (not as sore as last time), food aversion, nausea but WAY worse this time

different: i am bigger faster, and (TMI) the constipation this time around is awful!!

ilovelife · February 2012

Same: exhaustion all the time and same crazy food cravings. Last time I craved crappy foods like Taco Bell and McDonalds. This time, I can't even drive past one of those without wanting to blow chunks out the window.

Different: not near as nauseous this go around! I really relate that to not working this pregnancy. When I was pregnant with ds, I was teaching 3rd grade so constantly on my feet. This time, I'm able to rest a whole lot more.

PrncesWife · February 2012

Same: pretty bad morning sickness (on zofran again), in general feeling like crap, showers take everything out of me

Different: way more exhausted this time, puked more, haven't found any food that I like enough to eat more than once (with DD I could eat ceasar salads all day long and went to Panera seriously 2 or 3 times a week), less severe constipation

MainelyFoolish · February 2012

Same: I feel my worst in the evenings, no boob growth, still fit in my regular clothes

Different: I had a lot more vomiting the last time, I feel like I've been more exhausted this time (having a child at home doen't help with this), nausea started earlier this time

GeorgiaYankee · February 2012

This pregnancy is really similar to my last - hardly any symptoms at this point. No real m/s, tired but not exhausted, still not showing at all. Insomnia is my only complaint. My skin cleared up both times - yay!

Different: I'd hardly call it m/s compared to what some of you ladies experience but I did have one or two days of really mild nausea which is more than I had with DD, no sore boobs this time, I noticed having to pee a lot at the beginning. Not sure if that didn't happen with DD or I just didn't notice.

alice2Bcheshire · February 2012

Same: exhaustion, food aversions

Different: more intense nausea, less sore/smaller boobs

fadsmama · February 2012

Same: acne, boob soreness (although its getting way better), paranoia about something going wrong

Different: m/s (I had none w/DS), headaches, major food aversions, less crampy this time (I think at least), exhausted

I can't put my finger on it really, but I just don't remember feeling this way with DS!

terri_doula2010 · February 2012

Same: Exhaustion, extreme nausea, weird food stuff.

Different: Nausea started 7 weeks EARLIER this time, no actual vomiting, but I am on zofran so I don't know if that would be different otherwise, showing earlier, not nearly as moody...last time I was pretty sure my hubby was going to divorce me before we found out I was pregnant and justifiably insane. (He says he never even considered it...but my LMP started on our honeymoon...so this was all very early into marriage).

damabo80 · February 2012

Each pg, it seems I get less tired but have more m/s than the prior one.
