Or did it just start later into your pregnancy?
Also, was it worse with a boy or girl?

I voted #2 but only because I was SAH with a toddler while nauseous. Ugh

It's hard for me to answer because I vomited almost every day from 6-17 weeks with my first and had some food aversions, but I didn't feel as terrible all day long like I did with this second pregnancy.
With this second one I never once vomited but my nausea and food aversions were overall worse, especially by the afternoon and evening. I could barely function by dinner time which was very difficult with a toddler running around!
ETA: both are boys so in my case the sex of the baby didn't affect anything!

Mine was definitely worse with my second. It started earlier and lasted longer, and my food aversions were much worse as well. Both pregnancies were girls.

Mine has beeN similar each pregnancy. Nausea right away with throwing up in the mornings. It lasted until 16 weeks each time. I think it was slightly worse with DS than my two girl pregnancies.

I think I voted wrong, but nausea was waaaaay worse w #1. #2 I felt fine at first and had different symptoms later (digestives issues and hip/pelvic/lower back pain)
Girls both times

#2 has been way worse, and with heartburn too. I didn't experience much nausea with #1, and zero heartburn. Both are boys.

Mine was WAY worse with my 2nd. I was sick for a few weeks with LO1. I was sick for 5 months with LO2.

Way worse with number 2, which happens to be a girl this time. Started around 6-7 weeks maybe. Mostly gone in second trimester.

I only really had it with #3 and she was a girl. My 1st two were boys.

I'm almost 7 weeks into my second and it's WAY worse this time.

Far worse with #2 than #1, but I was also on progesterone supplements with #2 for 10 weeks. Even after those 10 weeks, I felt far sicker with #2. I had constant heartburn and just felt sick all day every day.

Worse with 1 and 3. Not so bad for #2. Coincidentally #2 is the only boy.

@Boopers: vomited every day!! My lord. I never came close with #1 but had a general foggy, hangover-ish nauseous weeks 6-13 with him.
I'm 6.5 weeks have have no breast pain which is weird and less nauseous. Naturally I'm freaking out and thinking the worse.

It was significantly worse with dd2, my third pregnancy - vomited everyday from the day I found out I was pregnant (roughly 8 weeks along) to about week 25. Then just nausea the rest of the time. My first two pregnancies (first is dd1, second was a boy and ended in miscarriage at 11 weeks) were about the same - occasional nausea, a handful of vomits.

Overall, about the same. I had a girl then a boy. They were different in some ways but overall pretty equal. With my first it lasted longer (8w to 16w) and I threw up quite a bit in the mornings and had cravings/aversions but not completely awful ones. Second it was from 6w-12w so a bit shorter but I had more horrible aversions so I couldn't even prepare or cut up any food. And then I had some MS return in the 3rd trimester with my second (though not as bad) so I started throwing up eggs in the AM so had to switch back to carbs.

Worse with #2. Both boys. It wasn't worse, actually, but it lasted much longer. 20 weeks verus 30 weeks.

Much milder the second time. The first time I never vomited, but had the constantly hung-over feeling, and major aversions, from 5-14 weeks or so. With my second I had some mild aversions and mild nausea from 8-11 weeks or so. Both boys. I also worried about the lack of nausea the second time.

I called my OB today because I'm going crazy. 6w+6 and NO breast pain and very very little nausea. I think I'm comparing this pregnancy to #1 too much. I wish I could just relax! I do have other symptoms tho I guess like food tastes like chemicals and I have been more emotional.

@pachamama: it's so hard to not compare! I'm 7 weeks and I've also had zero breast sensitivity this pregnancy. I did only wean my older daughter about a month ago so I'm like maybe they're just totally desensitized
Your nausea maybe just hasn't kicked in yet or you'll be lucky and not have any!

I've gone through 4 first trimesters and I've gotten morning sickness with all but to varying degrees. I never throw up but had different degrees of nausea with each one. The two worst were actually both of the ones that I ended up miscarrying. DS was probably 3rd worse (but I ended up on medication for it so I'm not 100% sure). DD was the easiest but I definitely still felt nauseous all day long with her.

All boys. Bad with #1, not bad at all with #2, and the worst with #3.
papaya / 10560 posts
horrible with number 1 (boy), but went away after first tri. Some vomiting throughout due to reflux. pretty bad with number 2 (girl), more all day nausea/vomiting but honestly was more tolerable than 1. practically no nausea and haven't vomited at all with number 3 and we are TG.

My two successful pregnancies were about the same - never really got sick and just experienced mild nausea. I had two miscarriages in between my two successful pregnancies and one of those gave me terrible morning sickness until the day I had my D&C, which was strange because my beta levels weren't what they should have been since it was a blighted ovum. I remember dry heaving in the Trader Joe's parking garage and never had anything like that with DS or DD (or my first loss).

Worst with two and then had zero morning sickness with three. I had mild ms with my first.
All girls.

@petitenoisette: You were right, it hadn't kicked in. But it's kicking my ass now! I feel like hot garbage. But interestingly my boobs are 100% fine.
Had a scan yesterday and baby looked great for 8w4d so all is good so far.
