Q: Different Pregnancies

This is purely for fun. I'm just curious to see if you have more than one child and ones a boy and ones a girl how your pregnancies were the same and different. Heck, even if you have the same sexes, how were your pregnancies different?

I don't know what I'm having yet, but I can tell you that this pregnancy is a little different.

Ava - perfect pregnancy, morning sickness until 14 weeks, hot as hell all the time, fatigue, sever headaches, lots of acne, and a butt a mile wide

This one - rocky start, morning sickness for a week, cold all the time, not that tired, no headaches or acne, butt is the same, but I have more food aversions.

When I was pregnant with my daughter I felt great all the time. No morning sickness at all. I was tired all the time and could have slept my life away.

When I was pregnant with my son I felt ill every day until around 13 weeks. I couldn't sleep, I had carpel tunnel, and was a hormonal psycho path most of the time.

with jacob i had heartburn towards the end.. with Caty is was from day one til the day she was born and made me want to rip out my esophogus... I had headaches with her, none with Jacob.. i loved spicy food with her, with Jacob it was sweets. I had morning sickness practically the whole time with Jacob, not as bad with Caitlyn.. it ended around week 16 and popped in and out every now and again.

so yeah lol not many similarities.

Off topic, but I thought this was weird... my fiance's name is Jacob, and when we met I still went by Katie XD Different spelling from your daughter, but I think it's the same. Do you pronounce is Cat-ee or Kay-tee?

Morning sickness started at 7 weeks ended at 14 weeks. I had severe sickness, throwing up everywhere and anywhere at any time of the day.

Heartburn started my last month.

Besides that it was OK...actually it was annoying. I hate being pregnant.

this pregnancy has been completely different from my pregnancy with william. with william, i didn't have any symptoms whatsoever until i started getting my water infections. i really didn't feel i was pregnant or believe i was pregnant until my 12 week scan when i finally got to see him. this time, however, i got morning sickness for a couple of weeks, wind non-stop, just started to get heartburn at night and this awful sciatica has been playing up aswell. pregnancy is so much fun!

My first pregnancy was 7 years ago so i don't remember much of it. If you can't tell from my 20 questions i have every day lol. But i know i didn't have morning sickness, and it was a really really smooth pregnancy. I didn't work, and i was still in school. I was in my last year. And i was living with my mom at the time so i didn't have bills or any stress there. Over all it was a great pregnancy, and went by very fast.

This one has been good. It's been VERY long. I my job, and the stress of the bills, and raising a child while pregnant is what's making it so hard. We've made it, but it's been a long one. I'm really going to be happy to get it over with. I had a lot of morning sickness at the begining, and a bit at the end here. That and i'm bigger now than i was at 18 so the weight gain has been tough on me. I've found out that it's true that every pregnancy is different.

my sisters first pregnancy was perfect, no sickness, no acne, no dislikes of food, no problems at all. When she was pregnant with her daughter she had sickness the whole way through, UTI's, bad back, hated the smell of nearly every food and had the wost craving....cigarettes even though she'd quit two years before, as soon as she gave birth it went away

must be a girl thing lol. My sister was the same she'd just be sitting down playing with her son and then say 'i really need to smoke' and then she'd be a nightmare to be with because it's all she'd talk about. She never gave in though, she was just about to she took one of her husbands cigarettes and went into the garden but just as she was about to light it her water broke Laughing

with macy i was really tired for the first 12 weeks and after that things were great besides all the weight i gained.

with liam i had awful heartburn in the beginning that lessened with meds. i just knew he was a boy, i could feel the difference

but with Roan i was convinced he was a girl cuz it was just like Macy only I got sick more.

With Oni, I Had SEVERE sciatica (even though I was working while I had it. Once I stopped, it stopped.) No morning sickness, I was just REAALLLY tired ALL the time!!!I had INSAAAANE heartburn!!! Jesus, I'd have to say that was THE worst part of my pregnancy with Oni.

WIth this one, I haven't had nearly as much Sciatic pain! I was nausious ALLL day long for the first 3 months.
And the heartburn is nearly none. But I think that's because I haven't gained as much weight as I did with Oni. And I don't eat past 7, so I'm not laying down RIGHT after I eat.

This preg is NOTHING, really, like Oni's. As far as cravings, I can't have what I truely want (which is whole milk). There's nothing else that I crave...so I'm pretty BORINGGG!! LOL!
