Practically no nausea at all, very tired the 1st tri but felt great afterwards. Had a normal sex drive. Gained 29lbs. </p> <p>2nd, girl (I'm 31 weeks), mild nausea from weeks 5-13, not as tired. Very low sex drive, have gained a loooooot of weight so far, but started out quite a bit skinnier this time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mamas-of-two-compare-pregnancies#post-1156247 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 16:46:27 +0000 Ree723 1156247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My pregnancies have been almost identical so far!</p> <p>Pregnancy #1: no morning sickness, no complications or discomforts of any kind other than heartburn (but I didn't mind as DD was born with a full, full head of hair!). No real cravings or aversions. Gained 32 lbs. Loved being pregnant.</p> <p>Pregnancy #2: I'm now 24.5 weeks along, had two days of mild nausea at the beginning but felt great since then. Very emotional though! No cravings or aversions although I am constantly hungry. Gained 20 lbs so far (yikes!) and am carrying exactly the same again - super high and tight! TG again but think it's another girl. Once again, enjoying pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mamas-of-two-compare-pregnancies#post-1155973 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 15:25:17 +0000 FarmWifeGina 1155973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pregnancy #1: No morning sickness whatsoever, ate tons of carbs and white crap, gained 80 lbs. Carried low, but not really low. Boy. </p> <p>Pregnancy #2: Extremely minimal morning sickness, like, just occasional queasiness, doesn't even qualify as morning sickness. But I was eating less carbs. Gained nothing. Carried high. Girl. </p> <p>Pregnancy #3, currently 35 weeks: More morning sickness, but still very, very, VERY minimal. Very few carbs and grains (I think this is what affects how I feel on my stomach in the first tri). Gained 20ish lbs. so far. Carrying much like I did with our boy. Two ultrasound guesses for a girl (because they couldn't see ANYTHING, so that makes it a pretty automatic girl guess), but my intuition through this entire pregnancy and of those around me and the way I'm carrying says boy. I'm so confused, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mamas-of-two-compare-pregnancies#post-1155880 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 15:01:06 +0000 MamaBehr 1155880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pregnancy #1: I had nausea for the first 15 weeks, never threw up but just felt terrible and exhausted. Craved sweets and ice. Could not stand chicken or red meat. girl</p> <p>Pregnancy #2: Didn't feel too sick, craved red meat. Was pretty tired. I hardly remember being pregnant hahaha boy</p> <p>Pregnancy #3: Felt sick until 14 weeks or so, never threw up. Craving peanutbutter and ice, but never anything specific for a long time. This will be a boy (due in January) </p> <p>Up until this last pregnancy I was convinced that boy and girl pregnancies were so different, but this third pregnancy has been a weird mix of similar and different things that don't point to one particular gender. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mamas-of-two-compare-pregnancies#post-1155825 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 14:42:50 +0000 Honeybee 1155825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my first, I suffered quite a bit from hyperemesis gravidarum. I didn't know what to expect or how to manage my sickness, and my doctors were not helpful/proactive in managing my illness. I was also a lot more emotional (probably somewhat related to feeling guilty and isolated by the HG). I had carpal tunnel, heartburn, and a few aches and pains. I gained 8 pounds and had 6.5 pound girl.</p> <p>Before my second, I really researched HG and came up with a treatment plan with my doctors which helped immensely in managing my HG; I didn't suffer as much, and I was able to gain 12 pounds with a 7+ pound baby boy. I wasn't as emotional, but I had a lot more pain/physical discomfort. I carried lower, and I had some additional complications related to cord issues and IUGR concerns. I also had choleostasis, which made me soooooooo miserable at the end. My first pregnancy was harder emotionally, but my second pregnancy was much more difficult physically. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mamas-of-two-compare-pregnancies#post-1155736 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 14:13:39 +0000 Springtime 1155736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>#1 No morning sickness, slight fatigue, huge belly, great skin, gained about 40 lbs.

I had a girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mamas-of-two-compare-pregnancies#post-1155548 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 13:31:33 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1155548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pregnancy #1--lots of morning sickness and puking for 13 weeks, severe fatigue, gained weight in my WHOLE BODY (about 26 lbs overall, but lots in my butt and legs), had PIH--went on bed rest. GIRL.</p> <p>Pregnancy #1--zero morning sickness, zero fatigue (didn't even feel pregnant in the first tri), only gained weight in my belly, my belly sticks out 10x more than it did with #1 (carrying TOTALLY differently), have PIH, put on modified bed rest. GIRL.</p> <p>ETA: With #1 I WAS SO TIRED the whole time. With #2, I was able to keep up with the 30 Day Shred until 14 weeks. I just wasn't tired! I totally thought it would be a boy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mamas-of-two-compare-pregnancies#post-1155543 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 13:30:11 +0000 banana 1155543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pregnancy #2 was much MUCH easier. I was able to control my morning sickness and was just less tired in general. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mamas-of-two-compare-pregnancies#post-1155536 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 13:28:16 +0000 su9su9 1155536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only difference between mine was that I broke out like a teenager during my first one (a girl) and I did not during my second (a boy). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mamas-of-two-compare-pregnancies#post-1155529 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 13:27:36 +0000 Running Elley 1155529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pregnancy 1: All day MS until 14 weeks, threw up every morning and had strong carb cravings. I had bad heartburn starting at 8 weeks alllll the way through. Gained 45 pounds. Boy :)</p> <p>Pregnancy 2: All day nausea through 11 weeks, only threw up once or twice. I was still able to eat most things- aversions were just day to day. I've had A LOT more energy this time around (but I'm not sure if that's just out of necessity). Nesting has been out of control. I've also been more emotional than normal- WAY more emotional. I've gained less than 20 pounds and only have a few weeks left. Girl! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mamas-of-two-compare-pregnancies#post-1155491 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 13:16:33 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 1155491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pregnancy 1: No sickness, ever. Very mild food aversions. Gained 45 pounds (eek). </p> <p>Pregnancy 2: Horrible morning sickness until 15 or so weeks. Strong food aversions. Only gained 17 pounds. </p> <p>Both boys! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mamas-of-two-compare-pregnancies#post-1155293 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 12:27:45 +0000 MrsRcCar 1155293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was pregnant with N, I had it pretty easy. I was sick a handful of times. I lost 30 pounds with the whole pregnancy. He moved around like crazy, even more to music. I craved fresh fruit and mashed potatoes.</p> <p>With this pregnancy, I have been extremely sick. I never dreamed it would be like this. I have lost 11 pounds thus far in the pregnancy. (In between pregnancies I lost more weight too). The only fruits I want to eat are apples, and bananas. I am pretty sure I could eat my body weight in mashed potatoes and gravy as well. </p> <p>I am nearly 19 weeks along with another little boy. Every pregnancy is different. I am hoping that next time I get pregnant (yes I plan to do this over again.) that my pregnancy is more like the one with N. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mamas-of-two-compare-pregnancies#post-1155254 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 12:18:26 +0000 polkadots 1155254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How were your two pregnancies different? same or different genders? .... just curious. </p>
