2nd pregnancy very different to first.. anyone else?

[Scoobywho24]

I’m nearly 9 weeks now in my second pregnancy 8 years after my first (successful) pregnancy.

With my first all my symptoms seemed to be super strong, extreme tiredness, sickness, nausea, aches and pains and ended up with spd quite early. I was signed off work for the sickness.

this time everything has been mild, I didn’t feel nauseous until 7 weeks and I’m having the odd day where I have none at all. I’m finding it a bit weird as with my first I felt reassured with the heaviness of it all but this time around I’m twiddling my thumbs. Don’t get me wrong, hallelujah! If it continues and is all ok.
But, anyone else??

Pregnancy 1 through 4 all basically symptomless. Just tired from week 6-10 (two successful)
Pregnancy 5 and 6 (mmc and current) the most symptoms I've ever had, all very typical Pregnancy stuff, painful nipples, morning (all day) sickness, tiredness, avoidance of foods I normally love and having things I normally wouldn't ever touch (fizzy pop and jelly sweets 😖)

Every pregnancy is so so different , yay for being one of the lucky few without symptoms and hope all goes well for you!

@LaTable its so crazy isn’t it! I have had losses but had no symptoms at all with those.

I can’t get my head around why or how they can be so different 😂

It’s very common, every pregnancy is different you won’t have an identical experience with them obviously, that would be impossible.

My first pregnancy was rather uneventful, some nausea - it was a girl. This pregnancy was plagued with constant vomiting and nausea until 16 weeks - it’s a boy. Both my mum and sister had awful sickness while carrying boys!

My two pregnancies have been completely different in pretty much every single way - so much so, I was convinced this one must be the other sex but, nope, both the same (both girls).

Pregnancy 1 - sickness and nausea started about 7 weeks, eased up around 9/10 weeks then came back with a vengeance and lasted till between 18 and 20 weeks. Massive food aversions and extreme sensitivity to smells (went off meat completely), sweet cravings, dental issues including needing a tooth out in the second trimester, appendicitis, bad skin, put on quite a bit of weight, pre-eclampsia, anterior placenta.

Pregnancy 2 (I'm 39+1) - sickness started around 5.5 weeks, diagnosed with HG and still being sick now, savoury cravings, low BP, anemia, extreme fatigue, fainting and dizzy spells, mouth ulcers, barely put on any weight and it's all bump, SPD, backache, headaches, recurrent UTI's, posterior placenta.

My mum had 4 kids and never a day of sickness with any of us!

I truly believe every woman and every pregnancy is different.

Mine have been so different.
First pregnancy started at week 6 with very mild nausea and tiredness. Then by week 12 I felt great until late in pregnancy when my hips would get sore at night. That was it.
I’m about 19 weeks into my second pregnancy and so far have had much worse nausea, no energy and constantly starving hungry, which started in week 5 and lasted until about week 15. Brain fog, struggle to make decisions. Back pain, like sciatica throughout the day and night.
I’ve felt so different this time compared to the first that I was convinced it’s because this one must be a girl, but it’s another boy so it’s not even related to baby’s gender - my body just isn’t handling pregnancy so well this time!
