Second pregnancy different symptoms

[daiseyduck]

Hi all

I am currently almost 8 weeks with my second pregnancy. My daughter is 13 months old and I had severe HG sickness with her from around 6 weeks up until birth, so much I was in the hospital every other day for a sickness injection.

This time round, I have been nauseous and only thrown up once in the morning. But nothing extreme, I’ve had bad days on and off and some days I don’t even feel pregnant. I’ve had some cramps and a lot of discharge, which sometimes has a reddish brown tint. Saw baby at 7+2 with heartbeat.

Anyone else have totally different pregnancies? Were they the same gender?

Yes, totally different pregnancies with different genders
I was super sick/borderline HG with no 2 which old wives tale is a girl but was a boy.
I was different ages too and different fitness levels/weights which I think matters more

This sounds very similar to my pregnancies. With DS I was sick once a day for the first trimester and then nothing. I also felt generally ok. Dd was the total opposite. Felt awful, couldn't eat, sick multiple times a day, even the thought of a particular smell would make me be sick. It is a weird feeling having two very different pregnancies, and hard not to overthink / worry.

We are in almost the exact same situation! First pregnancy I had awful, debilitating sickness. This pregnancy I've had lots of nausea but zero vomiting so far. The only other symptom has been exhaustion.

I'm 7+2 and I have a scan at 9 weeks. I'm worried something will be wrong, but nothing I can do but wait.

My first pregnancy was a breeze
This one has been actual hell
Both boys! 💙💙

My pregnancies with my daughter and son were very different.

I had hyperemesis from 5 to 14, 26-36 weeks with my daughter with intermittent sickness in between. I had awful reflux and was on omperazole for that and could barely drink anything it is triggered the reflux. Baby born at 38+6 active right up to the point I gave birth.

With my son I had minimal sickness in the first trimester and at 24-27 weeks, a little bit of heartburn but mostly managed with gaviscon but at 30 weeks I developed obstetric Cholestasis, at 33 weeks I started with contractions, threatened preterm labour at 34 weeks, developed severe fatigue and was hospitalised at 35 weeks when I couldn't stay awake and even fell asleep during a vaginal exam! I had to have baby sitters as I had to stop driving and looking after my daughter. I had declining liver function and then low platelets and slight hemolysis. They made the decision to induce me at 36+6

I had severe hyperemesis on both my girls. And my sister had severe hyperemesis on all three of her boys!

I’ve had three children and they were all different pregnancies. 2 girls, 1 boy.

Pregnancy 1 - girl, nauseous for weeks but never sick, couldn’t eat apart from a few small windows of hunger. Clear skin.

Pregnancy 2 - girl, a couple of waves of nausea at the beginning but nothing apart from that. Never had clearer skin.

Pregnancy 3 - boy, needed to eat salty crackers near enough constantly to stop me feeling like I was imminently about to be sick. Terrible skin which was worse than when I was a teen!
