I'm currently very very early into my second pregnancy, about 5 weeks so I'm cautiously optimistic as know it's early days.
The one thing that's on my mind is that by this time in my first pregnancy I was SO nauseas, feel aversions to some food and some cravings. This time I'm a tiny bit nauseous every now and then, boobs are so sore and tummy just feels like it's doing summersaults. But no food aversions to speak off.
It's making me a bit worried that it's a chemical, although tests are getting stronger lines each day. Or can some pregnancies just vary?

Try not to worry - my first pregnancy I didn’t have many symptoms at all mostly just sore boobs and fatigue
This time around (second) was completely different- awful nausea from 6-20 weeks, headaches, fatigue, spotty - ended up being different gender to my first pregnancy so makes sense really (if any of that stuff is true) xx

Thank you @Emsxox that's reassuring! I had a girl first time round so will see what this one is if all goes ok 🤞🏻

All 3 of my pregnancies have been totally different, all 3 resulted in healthy baby girls. Every pregnancy is different

Yes I felt absolutely terrible with my first, I struggled to do anything I felt so bad. I am pregnant with my second and symptoms are definitely much milder. X

Congrats on your pregnancy!

My pregnancy with DS and my current pregnancy (now 25 weeks) have varied so much. I was sick weeks 5-16 with DS and this time wasn't sick until week 7 but it went on til week 20. Other symptoms have been very very different as well in terms of tiredness, food aversions, aches and pains too. I've been told my current pregnancy is a girl x

This is my 4th and my sickness always kicks in around 6 weeks. I remember towards the end of 5 weeks worrying that I wasn't feeling sick enough then by 6 + 1 I was feeling terrible!! It's been awful, I'm 17 weeks now and still on anti sickness tablets. So if I were you I'd appreciate it whilst it lasts! Congrats on the pregnancy 🎉 x

Yep I felt very sick with my first and was sick a few times and had loads of food aversions. With my second I had no symptoms at all, both were boys.

I’m around 6 weeks and other than bloating, on and off heavy feeling boobs and a tiny tiny bit of slight nausea on a couple of occasions I feel totally normal. I’m sure I was extremely nauseous at this point in my first pregnancy with DD. My googling tells me that pregnancies all vary but finding it really hard to relax.
