Thread: I know every pregnancy is different but THIS different!

Mine is the opposite...this one is easier. I was dreading the worse actually because I had it pretty good with DD. The things I had with DD that I've yet to have this time is: cramping, extreme sleepiness, inability to drink coffee, constipation. I've been a bit more tired, but nothing like with DD. Also, I haven't had to cut out coffee! Last pg I cut it out for most of the first tri. It's very odd...but it has been better this time.

SN - my friend IRL who is pg right now also is having a TERRIBLE go of it. With her son, she was never sick. Now this time she's throwing up so much. I think it's a girl. :P

This is my third baby. The first, my DD was the worst with the morning sickness by far. I was sick for 9 months with her. DS and my #2, I mostly had dry heaves with but that was just the first tri. This one I also have the dry heaves but I am way more exhausted than either of my first two pregnancies. I can barely keep my eyes open during the day. It's awful!!

Mine have gotten progressively easier. I'm still sicker than average but my first I was in and out of the hospital. My second was not quite bad enough to be hospitalized, but miserable. This time I am so nauseous and dizzy but only threw up once.

I am far less tired. I think that's because my thyroid issues weren't diagnosed yet with the last two. I'm frustrated because I have energy but I am too dizzy to do anything!

Also this time, I have this weird hormonal don't-mess-with-me thing going on that is so far from my real personality it's not even funny. That's never happened before.

Yup, every time is different!

this one is def different. with Ds i had no m/s what so ever I did have tons of heartburn later on in my pregnancy and horrible sciatic pain and back ache this time around i just feel totally lousy no m/s but just very sour to my stomach not liking it much and hope it goes away soon. my left hip is starting to bother me since yesterday so im hoping it isnt starting

My first one was pretty bad. I was sick & exhausted for the whole nine months. I had to cut back on work and I could barely get out of bed most days. It eased up a bit in the 24+ weeks range, but I was still puking till the last day. This time around, I'm puking less and keeping more food down. But I'm still soooo tired. And everything feels like an exertion. I'm hoping though that this time around it will only be the first tri, and that I'll get energy back in a week or two! (or less fingers crossed). Sorry you're not feeling well. And I hope everyone gets some relief soon (well for those that need it).

OMG I so hear ya on this! I'm over analyzing everything now and thinking people are mad at me when they don't reply to my posts on FB. LOL. I'm pretty sure it's all in my head. :P
