Pregnancy symptoms different this time?

ChristyNNorman · March 2016

Hi mommies,
Are your pregnancy symptoms different or the same your second time around?

KilgraveMadeMeDoIt · March 2016

They've been different with every pregnancy. Biology is a funny thing that way.

talkthewholetime · March 2016

So far it's the same, but I haven't really hit "real symptom" territory yet. I'm interested to see!

spacepotatoes · March 2016

Yes for me. With DD, I had heartburn, really sore boobs, and nausea that was starting to ramp up around now, also a lot of bloat. This time, no heartburn yet. Boobs have been kind of sore off and on but not to the same degree as the first time. I have had some nausea and did throw up once but it doesn't seem to be ramping up like it did last time. Still have the bloating. Mostly, I'm just constantly wanting to sleep.

ChristyNNorman · March 2016

Thx! I haven't missed my period yet... But I've been crampy for over a week now (period is due next Wednesday), only my left boob/nipple is sore, I've been so moody and I just don't feel good. I don't remember feeling this way with my daughter.

spacepotatoes · March 2016

Oh, the cramping! I almost forgot about that. It feels more like ovulation pain for me than period cramps but it has been more intense already than it was with DD at this stage. And some shades of RLP.

XmomX · March 2016

I have been cramps (which is freaking me out but didn't happen with my son) but I officially missed my period today so I feel a little less nervous about it. The the bloat IS SO BAD this time, I don't remember that at all last time. I got real sick last time around 6 weeks so I am just waiting for that to start.

Insanely acute sense of smell!

sweetlyuntied · March 2016

As of right now pretty similar. Not much of anything at this point other than bloating and fatigue. I was so lucky with MS with my first, hoping for a repeat.

MrsBigTime · March 2016

Totally different!

The only thing I noticed last time was the incessant need to pee, nothing else! This time, I have to pee a normal amount (PTL!), but I'm intermittently nauseous, my boobs are sore and I'm enjoying non-typical foods much more than usual.

ChristyNNorman · March 2016

@spacepotatoes what is RLP? I feel dumb lol.

Wondering if I'll miss my period next week!

She probably means round ligament pain.

Funny thing, I was talking to an anatomist about this recently and apparently he gets annoyed with the obstetricians always telling women that the pain is from the round ligament. He said it's unlikely to be the case and is probably due to something else entirely (but he didn't say what.)

hayleyarp · March 2016

@ChristyNNorman so glad you started this. Feeling relieved their are other mommies out there with a different experience. Things are so much more mild this time around. Fingers crossed for a smooth 9 months for all

TrulyBlessed22 · March 2016

So far it has been different for me. The first time a was lightheaded very early on, in fact it was the first clue I was KU. I also had sore/tingly breast. This time I simply have some mild cramping, nothing else. Like @kilgravemademedolt said biology is a funny thing that way.

The truth is I just hit 4 weeks today and according to FF I was scheduled to get AF today so I'm still very early on. Things will likely change soon but hoping for a good pregnancy like last time.

ChristyNNorman · March 2016

What kind of tests did you all use? How soon as well?

Yeah. I meant round ligament pain. It makes sense that it's something else since I've read that RLP doesn't start until later on. But this RLP-like pain started early last time too, though not this early.

@ChristyNNorman, when you cough/sneeze and feel a shooting pain/cramp in your pelvis, that's RLP (or whatever).

aquasocks · March 2016

Yes! Last time it was all about the tender tatas. They hurt this time but nothing like last time. Instead, I have been having nausea and vomiting since 4w+1. Glorious. I didn't puke once the last time around!

honeybeewebb2424 · March 2016

Last time I was nauseous from morning to night nearly every day starting at about 4 weeks. Now my boobs hurt.. like is it okay to say I hate my nipples right now? Also having cramping and a strong nose. I would be happy to not deal with that much morning sickness again. Also, I cant sleep at all for a week now and thats practically all I wanted to do last time. Its still early as to whats to come but I am liking the differences so far!

HockeyWife4Life · March 2016

My previous two pregnancies I had super sore breasts before I even got a BFP. This time around, my breasts have been fine but I've had tons of cramping which I thought were AF cramps but alas, they were not. I am also super moody and emotional - crying over nothing one minute then acting super irritable the next.

ChristyNNorman · March 2016

That's how Ive been feeling! Period is due Wednesday.. I already took a few tests and all negative. Thinking my period is coming... =/

Des321 · March 2016

I am crying over EVERYTHING this time around. I don't necessarily feel pregnant yet considering I am only barely 5 weeks but man my hormones are making themselves known! At this point with my first i was feeling very bloated and super nauseous. No nausea yet, but I'm sure it's just around the corner..

islandbaby8913 · March 2016

My symptoms are a little different. Right now, my main symptom is fatigue. With my son my fatigue didn't kick in until the end of my first trimester, definitely not this early (5 weeks today).

banfrog · March 2016

Bloody nose this time. Never had that previously.

DunkinDecaf · March 2016

Ugh I hope so. I had such bad acne last time around. I don't think my face was that spotty when I was 14.

You might want to try posting on the Two Week Wait board, or the TTGP board if you're not pregnant (yet)

HomeyDontPlayThat1 · March 2016

Last time my nausea was 1st tri only, but much later. I've got it immediately this time. Also, my breasts were unbearably sore last time, this time not so much. I still nurse my son once a day, maybe it's a breaking in kind of pain the first time around?

I also haven't peed like this since my 3rd trimester, last pregnancy. I mean, dude.

MollySm · March 2016

My pregnancies with my girls were fairly similar to one another. This time I feel a little different I think. The nausea seems worse already (I'm only 3w 3d), and my breasts are sore and itchy. I knew I was pregnant bc smells were so off. And I'm crampy. I'm curious if this will ease back into being the same kind of pregnancy, or if it will feel different the whole time.

bgeeslin · March 2016

I feel unusually energized! I know that will change, but I'm soaking in every second!
