How did your symptoms differ in your 2nd (or 3rd, +) pregnancy differ from your first?
My first pregnancy sore boobs were my first clue, and a pretty constant symptom in the early first trimester. This time, nothing so far. This time I’ve had 3 days of headaches, and I didn’t have a headache my entire last pregnancy! 
Did you find breastfeeding to affect symptoms? Still bf’ing my 9-month-old.

With my son I had textbook pregnancy symptoms. Nausea, sore boobs...everything. idk why I didn't realize I was pregnant right away but I was on birth control and wasn't exspecting that. Now with my second (my girl) all i had was being tired. Nothing else!!!! I wasn't breastfeeding. I formula fed. I did get pregnant when my son was about 2-3 months old. This time same thing! No symptoms and its been over a year since I got pregnant last. Turns out this baby is a girl too. I guess I don't feel pregnant with my girls.

My boobs were only awful the first time also ... it was like all the tissue was waking up or something. Headaches and nausea got worse each time.

Same with boobs - I only really noticed them the first time. I didn’t have morning sickness in any of my pregnancies.

My symptoms were very different the second time and they started so late (after 6 weeks) that I was concerned something was wrong. My nausea (I’ve never thrown up during a pregnancy) was way worse the second time around and lasted for longer. I was always so hungry the first time, and the second time I had a terrible appetite and never knew what I’d be able to stomach. Unfortunately I began getting headaches my second pregnancy and still get them now. Maybe it’s just age? I was still breastfeeding but it was a 2 year old so pretty different.

Nausea has definitely been worse the second time around. Started around the same time, but the puking has been more severe and prolonged. Exhaustion is worse, but may just be the toddler 
I'm still breastfeeding and have felt zilch in terms of boobs.

My symptoms were similar for the most part... I didn't have much nausea with either. With my first I had a lot of bloody noses, and a chest rash 3rd trimester. Luckily didn't have those the 2nd time around.
Acid reflux/heartburn was awful with both.

1st - Heartburn/acid reflux
2nd - Same as first, nausea/exhaustion
3rd - All of the above, plus back pain

@skinnycow: Glad it’s not just me! I know I should be happy I’m not feeling pain, but the first trimester anxiety is getting to me.

@josina: Oh my goodness, the heartburn was TERRIBLE last pregnancy. Just waiting for that to start again

I had the same symptoms for both sons- sore boobs, nausea, mild food aversions, felt hungover all the time, but with my second pregnancy they were earlier, lasted longer, and more intense!! I legit did not enjoy food until I gave birth to #2.
