Second Pregnancy- ALL new symptoms

LarrysBride0202 · May 2014

Hi all! With my first child, the first trimester was exhausting, but that was about it. This time though? I am past exhaustion everyday to the point where I need a nap and have no motivation to work. I also am 100% unable to sleep at night, and my appetite is horrible. I can smell everything at every time and get frequent headaches from the smells. I'm never hungry and anytime I eat I don't enjoy the food and feel sick to my stomach. Did anyone else have completely different symptoms in their second pregnancy? I'm getting frustrated here...

Yep, every pregnancy can be different from the last.

This one has been pretty different for me too. My boobs are out of control this time, and pretty much I'm just gassy 24/7. I remember with my daughter, I was just tired. The exhaustion is coming in spurts this time.

I feel different with this pregnancy. With DD I had a lot of bleeding and 2 early u/s to check on the threatened m/c. I felt safer because we saw the HB at 8 weeks. This time I had one very small episode of spotting, but nothing since. I won't have an u/s til 20 weeks and my next appt isn't until 11 weeks, so I don't have that peace of mind.

I feel bad admitting this, but I don't feel connected to this pregnancy yet. It's hard to explain. I'm sure I'll come around, but I feel guilty.

Yes! Same here! I don't fit in any of my bras anymore and this did not happen with the first pregnancy!

This one is different.. I can actually touch my boobs without wanting to cry.. last time my boobs were the worst... and this time I burp worse than a man I don't remember that with DD. I'm early still, though

With DD I felt great until about 5 weeks. With this pregnancy, I'm exhausted and I already feel a little nauseous. I thought this one would be easier in terms of MS. Maybe I'm just hyper-aware. I guess time will tell!

Right there with you, this one has been totally different. The smells are tons worse and I have had no appetite. Veggies are about the only thing I want to eat.

I have different symptoms too. With DD I had morning sickness the whole first trimester, boobs hurt, was constipated, I was a little tired and I couldn't eat bananas without gagging. This time, I still can't eat bananas, I'm tired past the point of exhaustion, need to nap when my toddler does, no ms but I have headaches, I can't sleep at night and when I do I wake up 4-6 times and have a hard time sleeping again, oh and bad charlie horses. Oh and the peeing...

Yes!! With DS my boobs were *so* sore and this time around they're sensitive but don't really hurt. I also had hardly any nausea with him, but for the past two weeks I've been constantly queasy, and nauseous from like 4:30 on. I have hardly any appetite and the thought of eating anything sweet makes me wanna puke (and I'm totally a sweets girl). But at least this time I can brush my teeth without throwing up!

Some things are the same & some different.
Eg. With #2 had immensely sore bb's.
Yet dry skin, insomnia, constipation - like #1.
This time however, I've been queezy (I only felt that at 8 weeks with the previous 2.)
Now I burp!!! Don't remember doing that with either...
Everyone is different. Keeps us on our toes. Makes it interesting. He. He.

I am the same way. I think I am so irrationally afraid of how DS will be with the baby. He loves babies, but I am so sad that I only have a couple months where it is just my DH, DS, and me that I am feeling not as connected. I have an u/s tomorrow so I am hoping that it kicks me into how excited I felt with DS.

But as far as this pregnancy goes- I am feeling the exact same as last time. Sick, tired, and moody.

Well, with my first, I didn't even really know I was pregnant until I was 5 or 6 weeks, and that's only because I was throwing up pretty consistently throughout the day.

So this time, I found out much earlier on. I don't remember if I was tired at all or hungry/thirsty. That's about all I'm feeling at this point.

You are totally not alone in this feeling. I am feeling the same way. Maybe it was because DD was a surprise and happened right away and this one took nine months (which isn't that long, but still).. or maybe it is because I spend my nights toting around DD instead of thinking about baby, or maybe it's because I can't even bring myself to buy anything because we have so much from DD - either way, I'm not connecting yet. I'm sure i will, but it hasn't happened yet. I am almost even in denial that someone is in there.
