Congratulations! I'm so excited for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-symptoms-different-the-second-time-around#post-10684 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 10:52:30 +0000 SAHM0811 10684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>both my pregnancies with two girls were pretty similar in the first tri. </p> <p>things were different in the third tri (first baby, easy 3rd tri... second baby, insomnia and other symptoms I can't even remember right now!).</p> <p>I also noticed the second time around that I showed a little earlier and felt more pressure in the pelvic floor earlier (OB said that was common).</p> <p>The Chinese gender chart always said I was having girls, so they were right twice in my case. Of course it's been wrong too for some... Be sure to adjust for your lunar age with some charts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-symptoms-different-the-second-time-around#post-10682 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 10:49:08 +0000 HLK208 10682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last pregnancy:<br /> -sick everyday, sometimes twice a day<br /> -still had a lot of energy during the first trimester, I was finishing up my last year of college and I'd work a 4am-12pm shift at a coffee shop, school at 1-7pm and I probably had about 6-9 papers to write a week. But I wasn't worn out!<br /> -I gained 10 pounds the first trimester<br /> -Constant heartburn.</p> <p>This pregnancy<br /> -I'm so tired, I feel like I have mono. I go to bed at 8, wake up with my LO at 6, and nap when he does between 1-3<br /> -I've only been sick twice<br /> -I haven't gained anything but my stomach is approaching bump status quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-symptoms-different-the-second-time-around#post-10658 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 10:28:45 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 10658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read your post Bee and its really interesting. Don't think I'd test it out (because I'm cheap and don't want to spend 20$) so I'll have to wait. But trying to figure it out with all these wives tales is funny.</p> <p>Did you test out the chinese gender calendar? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-symptoms-different-the-second-time-around#post-10557 Sun, 06 Nov 2011 22:40:44 +0000 Mrs. Bee 10557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i asked parent that had a boy and a girl on my local messageboard whether the pregnancies felt different, and most said it felt the same. i think my pregnancies were pretty similar with charlie and olive. i was more tired with olive because i was chasing charlie.</p> <p>i took one of those early gender prediction kits and it said i was having a girl. dunno how accurate those are but it was right! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-symptoms-different-the-second-time-around#post-10543 Sun, 06 Nov 2011 22:09:56 +0000 bakingAbug 10543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congratulations first off!!!<br /> Secondly, I've been told by several people that the hormones from a female fetus cause the mother to break out more and hormones from a male fetus cause more hunger thus greater weight gain so you may be having a little lady. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-symptoms-different-the-second-time-around#post-10514 Sun, 06 Nov 2011 20:10:55 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 10514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They say every pregnancy is different and the variation of the symptoms isn't necessarily indication of the sex of the child but I was wondering what were the variations in your pregnancies. </p> <p>I'm 12 weeks pregnant so here is a quick comparison </p> <p>For Mavrick :<br /> - extremely sore breast<br /> - back acne<br /> - extremely tired<br /> - no morning sickness<br /> - no food cravings<br /> - gained 3 lbs in 1st trimester<br /> - nose bleeds</p> <p>Baby 2 :<br /> - horrible blemishes in face<br /> - tender breasts (no soreness what do ever)<br /> - extremely extrenely tired (maybe having a toddler doesn't help)<br /> - no morning sickness but random "oh I might puke"<br /> - no food cravings<br /> - gained 0 lbs in 1st trimester<br /> - period like cramps<br /> - constipated </p> <p>Also maybe its because i was pregnant before but secibd time around I knew 3 days after conception I was pregnant. Weird right?! </p>
