How did your second pregnancy differ from your first?

Symptoms, gender, how you behaved (did you relax on what you ate/drank).

I will start. So far, my nausea has kicked in much earlier than my first, the tiredness is less so far, and the biggest difference is my boobs! Last time they were so sore and ballooned, became bigger than my head and couldn't find bras or outfits. This time they're normal so far and I am delighted.

My first pregnancy (DD) was worse. Sickness was worse.

Still sick with DS but iscolated to mornings.

Hated dairy with DD, couldn't get enough of it with my DS.

Main difference for me was the birth, 1st time was horrific and second time very straightforward.

Braxton hicks in final weeks were much worse with my DS (2nd)

Am only early on with second but my boobs BALLOONED, and were sore from ovulation onwards, no joke. It’s like last time was training camp and they’re ready right out the gate 🙄 been wearing maternity bras since about week 6. Very nauseated and tired, but first time round I could nap and this time I can’t! Roll on second trimester

The biggest difference was that with my second I was boiling hot. I felt like I was being cooked from the inside. It was horrible.

He was born in November and I'd refuse to have the hearing on prior to his birth. We got home from the hospital and the house was bloody freezing!
