This is my second pregnancy and it's way different than my first. My pregnancy isn't harder, being pregnant and having an 8 month old is the hard part.

I'm still not to sure about this pregnancy, bc my youngest is 11 months. I had a good age difference from the oldest to youngest 3 years.  So this time around its so close, I'm carrying around my 25lb baby bc she can't walk and it taking all of my energy. I have support friends and family that say its going to be okay. But I'm still just not sure. Like sometimes I'm happy and other times I cry. Bc idk how to deal.

This is my 4th pregnancy, 3rd baby, and it has been awful! I've been so sick and I have had random bleeding.  The dic says baby is healthy so I guess I will just suck it up. Lol

I had a difficult pregnancy with my daughter (who's now two). I gained 30 lbs by the time I was 20 weeks. Had preeclampsia,  swelling, sick all the time. This pregnancy is the opposite,  I've only gained 5-6 lbs. And already 17 weeks! I still have nausea but no real morning sickness.  So far much easier than the last (:

This is my 2nd and this pregnancy is completely different than my first.  Other thanmy belly getting bigger and an insane craving for eggs lol I would've never known I was pregnat the first time I had no symptoms. This time around I am having a ton of symptoms most of which are not to my liking.

My first was, a head a little bit of nausea in the evening (threw up some nights, but not all). This time around I could keep anything down, was sick all day. I had to take medication.  I am definitely showing sooner, even though I haven't actually gained any weight at 16 weeks. My back already hurts and it didn't at all thru my first.

My 1st pregnancy was a breeze until labor. This one is hell. I get migraines nothing helps, had bad morning sickness and vomiting.  Aches and pains.  Not being able to sleep.  I have acne this pregnancy. My hair grows 3 times as fast.

This is my second pregnancy. My fb is 6. My pregnancy with him was a breeze. Minimal nausea, only tired in the beginning. The end was kinda rough with migraines and heartburn, but still bearable. This one has been awful. Found out at 3 1/2 weeks, morning sickness started at 5 weeks and is still hanging around at 16 weeks. I get headaches often, and I'm still fatigued all the time. my back hurts every other day it seems like, and in my first trimester the constipation was SO bad I would cry going to the bathroom. I'm still taking zofran and dealing with no appetite. But I have gained 10lbs so far, so I'm doing something right.

With my first, (she's 15 months now) I was never sick! I was full of energy the whole 9 months and worked two jobs until the second trimester and just one until I was 39.5 weeks even though I wasn't allowed to go into labor due to placenta previa. I had a tad bit of swelling in my feet at the end of the last trimester and that was about it. This time, (I'm just at 16 weeks) I am still feeling nauseated, but getting a little better. Nothing really ever sounds good enough to eat, I have the absolute worst dry mouth & throat that makes waking up in the morning miserable and I just want to trow up because of it, my eyesight is actually getting really bad, I can barely sleep at night, and feel tired all of the time... So, this time is completely different than the last time!!

This is my second pregnancy and its been a breeze. I just found out I am having another little boy, I had been convinced this time I was having a girl because the pregnancy had been so different to my son. I have had no sickness, very little of any kind of symptoms (other than tiredness). I struggled through my first pregnancy with constant sickness and struggling to eat anything. This has been a walk in the park :)
