Pregnancy

Was your nausea/morning sickness the same...

With every pregnancy? I am getting unnerved with the relatively mild nausea, as I was very sick with DC2, though this was about 14 years ago.

Worried it is a bad sign.

DS1 was sick for about a week before I found out.
DD was sick loads at the beginning and again at the end.
DS2 was sick all the way through.

I've been feeling sick again in the morning recently. It is just a bug though as my period arrived before. It did leave me panic stricken for a bit though! (DS2 is only 18 weeks and DD isnt quite 2 yet!--

I wouldn't worry. Sickness varies from pregnancy to pregnancy, not woman to woman.

NO

1st: sick as anything for 16 weeks
2nd;m : Sick until about 14 weeks but did not miss as much work
3rd: barely any sickness and missed hardly any work. I was convinced I was having a mc. Instead I was just having a boy instead Smile

Reassuring answers! I have a girl and a boy - I was sicker with the boy.

Nope, first time mid nausea (boy), this time hg and sginned off work for 5 weeks, anti sickness medication, horrific (pretty sure she's a girl just waiting for her to make an appearance).

Also had totally different other symptoms.. My hips/back were much worse last time. This time I'm only starting to waddle at 38 weeks.

Totally different pregnancies for me.
1st: nausea up to 14 weeks
2nd: very sick everyday and still going at 17 weeks.
Totally agree that every pregnancy is different.

For me the sickness got worse each time. Went from mild nausea with DC1 to full on vomiting with DC3.

No, all completely different. DS I was sick/nauseous every 1-2 days. DD1 I felt a bit sick for a couple of weeks but then at week 10 all symptoms disappeared completely. DD2 I had horrendous sickness from about the day after I got a bfp till approx 20 weeks :(

I'm 7wks with 2nd pregnancy and this time it's much worse Sad

First pregnancy for me was the worst, I'm surprised I ever went for it again. Throwing up pretty much 24 hrs a day for 16 weeks (and when not vomiting, feeling absolutely dreadful and having to lie down anywhere I could). Just about the most awful migraine headaches (I suffer with migraine anyway, but the pain when pregnant with DD was indescribable. I honestly thought I had a brain tumour and was going to die).

Second pregnancy (DS), only had mild nausea a couple of times over some weeks (and sciatica during 2nd and 3rd trimesters) but that wasn't nearly as bad as the sickness and migraines with first pregnancy.

So, symptoms are all different, for different women, so don't be worried. Congratulations Flowers

Pg 1/2:Pretty standard morning sickness, subsided at about 16 weeks iirc. Pg 3: 'Morning Diahorrea'!! Shock I had very mild nausea but the diahorrea was horrendous - I was limited to only going out when necessary (school run) and basically was housebound for months as I'd literally shit myself at the drop of a hat - sorry if tmi! (First 2 pg boys 3rd girl).

Oh and congratulations! Thanks Smile

Thank you, everyone.

Sadly, for me, I was right to be worried. I lost my baby this morning. I'm very sad.

1st pregnancy (DD) I was constantly nauseated for the first 16 weeks, although rarely sick. Maybe 5 times in total?
2nd time around now, and I'm only 11wks in, but I have actually felt more sick than last time (didn't think it was possible) and have thrown up far more. I've also had horrific headaches which I definitely didn't have before, but have managed to dodge sore boobs... Thankfully the sick feeling improved a week ago, but I'm still throwing up just with far less notice to find a loo now.
A friend who is pregnant with #2 said she never really understood the whole sickness thing people would bang on about with her first, until she fell pregnant with the second. I think she gets it now Grin
