Second pregnancy - very different to first

[partyskirt]

I'm 8 weeks pregnant with my second child and it is already very different to the first (which was 2 years ago). This time I've had really bad constant nausea from week 6 and already seem to have quite a big bump!

Last time I never had any symptoms really and no bump until about 5 months!

Have other people found this? First child was a girl.

I keep worrying because this pregnancy is so different from my first (4 years ago). Last time I had a big bump quite quickly and I had morning sickness really bad. This time I have no sickness at all and I keep panicking that something's wrong!

My first two were exactly the same - bit tired for a couple of weeks, no sickness and uneventful for the duration. Didn't feel much different to be honest. First was a girl, second a boy.

However pregnancy no 3 has been a bit tougher - feeling off colour for most of the afternoon, tired, irritable and very spotty! Suppose it was inevitable I wouldn't get off lightly 3 times!

Apart from my bump being visible way sooner, I pretty much feel the same. I am 2 stone heavier this time though because I haven't ditched the baby weight from my 15moDD. So that is making my back hurt a little more I think. :(

More nausea in first trimester, yes to showing earlier, but thats because your muscles wrte stretched first time. Have been much dizzier this time, and the dreams arent as good First time they were weird but pleasant, now theyre just plain weird.

op yep same here think i have to accept i dont know what to expect

DS is 2 years 8 months and last pregnancy wasn't too bad. This pregnancy is miserable. My nausea is more intense and longer lasting, tired all the time, bloated which makes me look 5 months at 10 weeks and I am getting a lot of pelvic, hip and back pain this time round. I have insomnia too. I can't believe I have another 30 weeks to go.

I have the exact opposite of this, first pregnancy was so sick/tired, had noebleeds, bleeding gums, nightmares and crazy sense of smell and this time round I have had little/no symptoms crazy how different 2 pregnancies can be!
