Second Pregnancies

[TerrariaMum]

Did symptoms come on earlier in your second pregnancies? I'm wondering.

I think you possibly notice them earlier, as you know what you're experiencing.

Think they came on about the same time but have been much milder than last time.

Not sure if mine have started earlier or not as I have no idea how far along I am. But the ms has been even worse than last time :(

Has anyone noticed if their symptoms are worse if they're carrying a girl rather than a boy?

Mine started about the same time but when the sickness hit it hit much harder :(

I'm 35 weeks with dc2 now, no idea what we're having but I'm convinced it's a girl as other than things being a bit more 'exteme' this time it's been fairly similar to when I was expecting DD.

I had quite different symptoms this time, but they appeared as quickly as the first time.

With DS1 I started feeling nauseous and TIRED about a week after I got my positive test (tested 3 days after period was due). Prior to that I just had a "feeling" that I was pregnant.

With DS2 I started getting hugely sore boobs and feeling TIRED also about a week after I got my positive test (also tested 3 days after my period was due). I also had the "feeling".

Yes I was feeling sick by 4 weeks, 7 weeks the first time. Everything did seem earlier at first part of my second pregnancy. very strange.

I'm 37 weeks and symptoms have definitely come on earlier this time, including feeling pregnant, indigestion, piles (TMI - sorry!), aches and pains, baby feeling lower down etc.
Your body's been there before so it all comes a bit sooner than the first time around. Same reason why subsequent pregnancies tend to involve a quicker birth.
AlfieBear: I'd be v sceptical about people who claim differences boy vs girl... They're usually going on a sample of 1 (maybe 2) of each - hardly proof! I never really understood why people think a tiny penis would make a significant differennce to where they lie / how it affects the mother!

My symptoms were earlier and more severe, and lasted longer. But then the SPD I'd put downtown having had my pelvis already ruined by first pregnancy and tiredness because I was working AND looking after a toddler.

Apparently girl's give you worse symptoms, I had DS then DD but pretty sure my symptoms were worse because it was the second pregnancy as opposed to me carrying a girl

My symptoms were more pronounced and hit earlier. Believe it or not the sickness started the day after conception! I could hardly believe it, but it is true.

I have exactly the same symptoms, although maybe a bit milder. They started at the same time though.
I feel very queasy and sensitive to smells but haven't been sick. With DD I wasn't sick until second tri, so I wonder if that will be the same?

This time round is defiantly worse, with dd for the first 12 weeks i was really sick but could still get on with things.

this time i have been so sick i can barely move, have even lost weight!

Not sure on the boy girl differences. i am convinced it is a girl but maybe that is because i don't want a boy?
