...or the other way round - were your PG symptoms any different?

I ask because I have DTs (nearly 3) and am now PG again. I don't really feel any different from the first PG and I'm starting to panic that it might be twins again. Tummy is getting big already (I'm 6.5wks) although some of it is bloating and I know that it gets bigger quicker with subsequent pregnancies. The only thing that is different so far is that my tests were lighter at the same stage this time compared with the first time. Also I had clomid first time and this time it happened without any help so in theory my risk is pretty low. I've got a scan booked for 22nd Feb but every day is dragging at the moment...

They're all different.

Have had two singleton pregnancies and felt like shite for most of them but could function normally. Last pregnancy was twins and felt absolutely fine only slight sickness, no significant tiredness and worked up to 34 weeks with no problems. This pregnancy which is another singleton is a nightmare - feel absolutely cream crackered even though I've only been out shopping for a few hours, will have to forget the housework today AGAIN!, constantly feel like my belly is an inflatable balloon and it is massive at only 17 weeks.

IMHO the early big belly is probably because your stomach muscles are knackered from the last pregnancy like mine are .

all different!!! had a singleton before twins and a singleton after. Felt sick with all of them and started showing quick with ds3 (after dts) as tummy muscles already shot through!

I was less sick, but still quite sick!! But I didn't notice a huge difference until the last trimester. I have definitely been a lot less tired in the latter stages. I was lying on the sofa not doing anything at this time with the twin pregnancy, but i am still quite active this time (nearly 37 wks)
