Question about symptoms for second (or more) time moms

jac409 · March 2014

Are your symptoms different this time around than they were in previous pregnancies, or are they more or less the same? I know symptoms have no bearing on the health of the pregnancy. I am really just curious. I am about 6.5 weeks right now. Last time around I was sick as a dog and my boobs were killing me by this point. This time, not at all. I am a little queasy here and there, but nothing like last time. I also realize it is still early. Anyway, like I said, I am more curious than anything about others' experiences with symptoms being different between pregnancies.

As far as the sickness goes, I'm about the same. I'm almost 9 weeks and it seems to be getting worse. I was sick with my daughter until about 4-5 months. I'm much more tired this time around, I have been breaking out, and had severe headaches and didn't have that with my first. I think every pregnancy is a little different.

I think right now my symptoms are about the same, if maybe a little less. I can't remember when I started getting symptoms last time, but so far, my nausea and food aversions have been less than what I remember. I also haven't had sore boobs, but I'm still nursing this time, so maybe that affects it. I am only about 6 weeks along, and I feel like my symptoms didn't start until I was further along last time.

I only quit breastfeeding at the end of January, and was pregnant within 2 - 3 weeks. I wondered if this had anything to do with the lack of breast soreness this time around myself. I have no idea. I just find it interesting.

My symptoms are similar to last time...nausea, exhaustion, food aversions. The nausea and aversions didn't kick in until week 7 or so. I am a lot more hungry than I was last time but I'm also carrying twins so that's normal.

My first two pregnancies were like night and day in terms of symptoms. The first was incredibly rough and I was hospitalized twice due to dehydration. My second was a breeze in comparison. This time, I'd say things are in between both extremes.

This one has been SO much worse. I hadn't experienced nausea, food aversions and extreme fatigue with the first.

My symptoms have gotten worse with each pregnancy. More bloating, nausea, vomiting. The only thing that is slightly better is fatigue, although it could just be I've adjusted to living in a constant state of sleep deprivation with 2 LO's!

This is my third pregnancy and so far all 3 have been different lol.

Pretty much the same for both for me. My second had a slight amount of nausea but nothing bad, whereas my first I had no nausea at all. My second had much worse RLP. Otherwise, they were the same.
