I had moderate morning sickness into the second trimester, spotting throughout the second trimester, and then diagnosed with IUGR in the third trimester. My second pregnancy was super easy. I started 5lbs heavier and gained 5lbs more and that was the worst thing.<br /> It's too early to compare my current pregnancy. I think morning sickness has been the worst so far but seems to be letting up earlier than my first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-similar-pregnancies#post-2497124 Wed, 16 Mar 2016 17:50:44 +0000 erinpye 2497124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Similar- very ill, lost weight at first. The second one was worse: I was more severely dehydrated, and I struggled more to gain weight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-similar-pregnancies#post-2497055 Wed, 16 Mar 2016 16:36:48 +0000 travellingbee 2497055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very similar but the second was worse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-similar-pregnancies#post-2497054 Wed, 16 Mar 2016 16:34:20 +0000 Mrs D 2497054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My second was much worse...add to that chasing a toddler and I was miserable!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-similar-pregnancies#post-2497040 Wed, 16 Mar 2016 16:21:03 +0000 mrsrain 2497040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very similar in the broad sense: very sick first trimester and lost a lot of weight, uncomfortable second trimester, painful third trimester. Had both babies at 38 weeks due to gestational hypertension (first one came due to natural induction, second one due to medical induction). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-similar-pregnancies#post-2497036 Wed, 16 Mar 2016 16:15:50 +0000 rattles 2497036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They were totally different. My first was easy and unremarkable. My second I was so sick. I was on medicine and still hospitalized and dehydrated. I had severe SI issues and sciatica and was in physical therapy twice a week. The placenta was low lying, so nothing serious, but there was extra screening (and it had been anterior the first time). My first labor was 15 hours with pitocin. My second was 3 hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-similar-pregnancies#post-2497032 Wed, 16 Mar 2016 16:11:19 +0000 jaguar 2497032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Similar in that I've been lucky (yet paranoid) enough to not be sick, and pretty symptom free.</p> <p>Different in that this pregnancy has had a tonne of bleeding and a lot more anxiety than the first successful one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-similar-pregnancies#post-2496889 Wed, 16 Mar 2016 14:35:39 +0000 lamariniere 2496889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The second one was harder and I gained a bit more weight, but I think they were both fairly easy in general. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-similar-pregnancies#post-2496884 Wed, 16 Mar 2016 14:32:46 +0000 Torchwood 2496884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One was with a healthy baby that survived, and one was not, but the pregnancies themselves were virtually identical. Even lasted almost exactly the same amount of time, just one day difference! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-similar-pregnancies#post-2496831 Wed, 16 Mar 2016 14:06:12 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2496831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I felt a lot more nauseous and exhausted this time around. But still never threw up and now I'm 25 weeks and feel the same as I did with my son (girl this time) other then being tired from staying home with a toddler all day! </p> <p>Gained less so far but started a bit heavier after weaning/pregnant/Mc/pregnant again. Hoping to end up around the same final weight gain.</p> <p>Eta: oh I also had horrible heart burn the first trimester!! Like the smell of food would give it to me- so weird! It's gone now. I had it at the end with my son. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-similar-pregnancies#post-2496763 Wed, 16 Mar 2016 13:25:52 +0000 CRGmama 2496763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very very similar. Sicker longer with #2, and a little more aches and pains but overall I carried the same, and had about the same weight gain. The biggest difference was that DS2 came 3 weeks earlier than DS1. (37w4d vs 40w4d) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-similar-pregnancies#post-2496722 Wed, 16 Mar 2016 12:59:51 +0000 tiramisu 2496722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm about halfway through my second pregnancy and it has been SO different from my first. I'm on modified bed rest due to bleeding with an sch, placenta previa and a cervical polyp. With my first I had no issues and was active till the end. I have had less nausea this time around, but I think I'd take nausea over bleeding anyday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-similar-pregnancies#post-2496574 Wed, 16 Mar 2016 11:12:18 +0000 Ms maths 2496574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The same weight gain, no morning sickness with either, slightly different aches and pains (but not much with either.). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-similar-pregnancies#post-2496557 Wed, 16 Mar 2016 11:06:30 +0000 lovehoneybee 2496557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gained about the same amount of weight and carried similarly (I was a little smaller and higher with DD), but that's it. I was WAY sicker with DS, for way longer. With DD I was a more normal sick....every morning sort of thing. Terrible sciatic pain, constant BH the last month, neither of which I had with DS. And she was breech. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-similar-pregnancies#post-2496553 Wed, 16 Mar 2016 11:05:09 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2496553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My second was the hardest - more nausea, achy bones. But overall I've had three very easy pregnancies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-similar-pregnancies#post-2496549 Wed, 16 Mar 2016 11:03:12 +0000 Alba4 2496549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine have been the same in some ways... I'm carrying both boys the same and had similar morning sickness.</p> <p>The biggest difference is that this pregnancy I have placenta previa, and am on modified bedrest (since 16 weeks). I was so active my first pregnancy and was able to really enjoy it. I have many physical restrictions this time unfortunately😢. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-similar-pregnancies#post-2496527 Wed, 16 Mar 2016 10:47:36 +0000 LAZB 2496527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine were pretty much the same with DS and DD. I gained about the same, and had them both early (35w4d and 36w3d). I'm hoping to have a similar pregnancy this time, but make it a little longer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-similar-pregnancies#post-2496524 Wed, 16 Mar 2016 10:42:47 +0000 Adira 2496524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They were pretty much identical. I had some extra pain earlier in my pregnancy with #2, but otherwise, they were very similar. Both were boys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-similar-pregnancies#post-2496520 Wed, 16 Mar 2016 10:40:52 +0000 mrsjyw 2496520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had very similar, average pregnancies both times. I was sick a lot longer with DS2 and gained a lil less and was overall more active/fit the second time around. But overall pregnancies were very similar and "average" as pregnancies go.</p> <p>Were your pregnancies similar? different? </p>
