different?
How different was each of your pregnancies and what gender did they result in?
With my son during the first trimester I couldnt handle the smell of pork cooking and fruit punch instantly made me throw up. After the 1st trimester it all disappeared and I had no other issues except at the end in which the drs thought I was at risk for pre eclampsia and resulted in a scheduled c section. I felt him move at about 22 weeks. Brax hicks contractions did happen at the very end, literally right around the time I was getting ready for the birth.
I am now pregnant again, 15.1 weeks. I dont know what im having yet. This time has been 10x different. I instantly knew I was pregnant and got a positive result at home before my period even was supposed to come. With my son it took 4 tries and I got a + finally at 9 weeks along. Immediately I began to feel sick 24/7. Never to the point I throw up but it prevented me from wanting to eat very much for sure. Ive been sick this whole time. Other symptoms ive had and still have are sore breasts, they leak now too, frequent headaches (daily!), no sex drive before and now I cant get enough, an emotional mess, still cant eat a full plate so I have to eat small portions frequently. Im alrrady having sciatic nerve pains (or what im assuming is), my ankles swell up if im up walking or standing too long, sharp pains in the hip/groin area (was told ligament pains) and I swear I started having false contractions now too. At least with my son those didnt happen until the very end. I noticed fluttering in my lower tummy about a week ago, usually happens most strongly around 10pm. Ive got skin problems (dry, acne not sever but ive never had this issue preg or not).
Im so big and miserable I swear if this one isnt a girl ill just go crazy. Lol everyone around me swears it must be a girl but quite honestly deep down I feel like its a boy. I find out on the 16th what we're having!

With my first pregnancy (a girl), I was extremely tired the first trimester. I started craving cheeseburgers before I even got a positive test. I was nauseous for the first trimester but not too bad. Through the whoke pregnancy I hated the meat section in the grocery store because it smelled like a slaughter house! I craved cheeseburger, juicy veggies and fruits, and candy! Food tasted sooo good! I gained 60 lbs between butt, belly, and legs.
This go around we are having a boy. I was still tired first trimester, but more nauseous. I still wasn't hugging the throne though. The meat department doesn't bother me. I have zero cravings (thank god). I am all belly this time too. It has been a harder pregnancy though because he is so low that it feels like he may fall out sometimes. My daughter was on my lungs. I had sciatic pain with both pregnancys. So they were definitely different. Good luck! I hope you get what you want!

My first baby was a girl i had morning sickness all day everyday till had her and craved fruits and gained 70 pounds! With my sec i had a boy no mornig sickness at all i was so skinny i only had a tummy i didnt crave anything but i did eat dates alot during my whole pregnancy i gained around 35 pounds and he came 8 pounds and very chubby.and with my 3rd baby on her way im 31+1 im having the same symptoms as my daughter.
With my 2 girls I immediately got morning sickness and couldn't stand meat at all. Always craved sweet stuff and veggies, my skin got clearer and my hair was fuller shinier and grew fast, I also carried high with them. The only difference with them is with my 1st they had to stop premature labor twice.
This time I'm having a boy didn't get morning sickness til around 20 weeks, I've had bad back pain since beginning, my breasts have gotten bigger than they did with girls, skin breaks out a lot, hair got duller coarser kept breaking and growing slow, carrying low, and craving meats beans and dairy products. I've also experienced more bh this time as well as a lot of mucus and cramping.
With all 3 I've hada lot of heartburn. I have to say this pregnancy is completely different from with my girls.

4 girls and they were all completely different. Some I was sick some I had heartburn some I didn't gain weight etc. this pregnancy no symptoms at all!!!
Just like period pains at first that slowly creep up to be so incredibly painful. But the stronger the pain the closer you are to being in full blown labour. Thats what I told myself. With my first labour I had every drug possible which included an epidural which slowed things right down for me. I ended up having forceps. My second I didn't really have timw for drugs just a few puffs on gas and air and yeh it hurt like hell but I preferred that labour to my first because I felt more incontrol. Everyone is completely different and you go with what suits you x
Lol yall are making me feel like im just being a baby with how much you've had to go through! I cant imagine all of that!
Are you nervous about being induced? What do real contractions actually feel like? I didnt have the opportunity to go into labor at all with my son, like I said it was a scheduled c section. Im so nervous about pushing this baby out! Im determined to do it just dont really know what to expect seeing how ive never been through it. My friend just had a baby and was in labor for 56 hours!!! She didnt get an epidural until after she had been in labor for 48hrs. I cant even begin to imagine what this birth is going to be like.

My 1st I had a easy breezy pregnancy & labor. I was very active, no morning sickness, very little heartburn, didn't really gain weight til the very end. Natural delivery. Didn't have contractions til the real ones & I went into labor. That was my girl.
This pregnancy I feel like a walking billboard for all pregnancy symptoms gone bad. Was on bed rest from 20weeks til 37weeks. Was sewed up with a cervical cerclage. On progesterone to prevent contractions. Had to get vaginal ultrasounds once a week. Nausea, heartburn, back pain, can't sleep, sciatic nerve pain. And now I'm 38weeks & doc is talking about possibly having to induce me. This is my boy.

Ive got the heartburn problem too. Didnt have that with my son. Im carrying the same way I carried with him, out front and getting a basketball shape. My family (parents and siblings) all birthed babies anywhere from 8lbs to 11lbs and 20 to 23inches long.. I was 8.2 at birth and born at 836am. My son was also born 8.2 and at 836am just different dates. Both of us were 21inches long. Lol I expect this one to be similar. My babies are 5yrs apart and this time my dr is ok with allowing me to try for a VBAC. I was so disappointed at not having my son naturally. Long as I dont try to go over 41wks and there arent the same issues as my son we're opting out of a c section.
On my first pregnancy 7yrs ago i didnt have one problem, no sickness, nothing at all, until the very end when i went into labour at 41wks, didnt progress so i ended up getting an emergency c-section, she was 6lb 2oz when born.this time i am now 36wks and 4days, i have severe spd since 20wks, hemorroids, non stop sinus infections, the flu, back pain, hip and leg cramps, was told at 32wks i have polyhydramnios and macrosomia which means far too much fluid and extra large baby.i was tested for diabetes, i dont have it. Now i have swollen feet and legs, blurred vision and black dots falling. I was told im a high risk pregnancy so i will be brought in at 39 wks for a c-section.at 36wks my baby is already 8lb, if i dont go into labour before my 39th week chances are my second baby girl will be over 10lb when born at 39wks. Time is going soooo slow.when u have spd u are limited to doing virtually everything.im on crutches and mainly bed rest.roll on week 39! By the way, ive no plans for anymore!
With my son I was sick from the word go. Any time of the day or night right up until I gave birth. My daughter was just in the morning up until I was about 14/15 wks. Then it stopped. Both I had really bad heartburn. Both I craved hot foods but with my daughter I wanted sour sweets. Mega sour. This pregnancy I'm 15+5 and I'm only sick on a morning and its kind of subsiding now. Loving hot foods and mega sour sweets again. So I'm thinking I'm carrying a girl again.
With all pregnancies I carried the same. All at the front. You couldn't tell I was pregnant from the back. :-)
