Just curious.
If #1 and #2 were the same gender were your pregnancies similar in symptoms, cravings etc? Or were they different?
If #1 and #2 were different genders were they different or similar?
Just curious!

Lol I don't think I'll ever really know, since my pregnancy was with twins. Was it the boy or the girl who gave me the worst ms? Ugh. Or both tag teaming.

I was thinking of doing the same poll!
My two pregnancies have more differences than similarities, at least so far at 21 weeks., so I picked same gender with different symptoms. I was convinced it was a girl, but nope - another boy!
I actually have less overall symptoms this time. Also some are different like I have/had food aversions this time but didn't last time. Also, the severity of the same symptoms are not as bad this time around.
People have also commented how I look different this time.
I guess you never know!

S was high and gave me heartburn. I couldn't gain a pound (actually lost weight for most of my pregnancy) and she just made me feel like ick all the time. Dry skin, zits...the works. My hair got real dry and dull.
LO has been low and really easy. I want to eat all the time and I feel pretty good for the most part. Except I'm more swollen around my feet. My hair is also growing a lot faster.

LO1 was a boy and LO2 was a girl. I had worse morning sickness with #2. My midwife said some women are worse with girls and some women just get worse with each pregnancy.

With DS my morning sickness was worst before breakfast and st night. I threw up once a day through the first tri. With DD I just felt nauseous all the time- threw up once or twice. With both the MS let up around 13 weeks.
I had really bad heartburn with both but it started earlier with DS.

I had nausea with DD and absoultely none with DS. I had bad aversion to eggs with DD and no aversion with DS. I craved good healthy food with DD and craved fast food with DS. Aside from that, I carried somewhat similar (all in the front).

Same gender and different symptoms. I was very sick with A but only had mild nausea and vomited just once this time, when before it was every day multiple times a day. I craved a whole bunch of junk with A and this time has been a bit better like veggies and fruit. Although I still love my sugar! I had extreme swelling with A but that was also in the summer. More headaches in the beginning this time, not much with A.

Don't drive yourself crazy with this! I had zero sickness the first time and tons the second. Everyone said, ooooh you'll have a girl this time!!!! NOPE.

Morning sickness was pretty much the same between the two pregnancies, lasting from 7-22 weeks, similar aversions, similar nausea and vomiting pretty much daily. Both are boys.
Similar heartburn, but I think this second time has been a bit worse, but my placenta is in a different location and this kiddo was sitting up much higher until about 28 weeks when he dropped to where C was for most of that pregnancy.
This baby is much more active, so I'll be curious to met him and see his personality- I'm wondering how different he will be from his brother who was relatively easy.

My pregnancies were so identical - even my weight gain was the same - I was 100% sure I was having another boy but nope, it was a girl!

Different genders and completely different pregnancies/symptoms.
DS, no morning sickness, wanting to eat all the time, loved spicy foods, carried low and mainly in front.
DD, morning sickness for the first 17 weeks, not too hungry, only wanted sweets, carried high and wide! Lol
