Pregancy Differences Obsessors Check in Here!

I'm completely obsessing over how different this pregnancy is than my other two. Anybody else obsessing, lol?

First son:

• No m/s, frequent urination, or heartburn
  
• Strong aversion to chicken
• Fatigue-no energy but not sleepy
• BB's not at all sore
• Horrible acne
• Greasy skin and hair (no matter what I did!)
  

 Second son:

• No aversions or cravings, fatigue, m/s, frequent urination, no sore bbs's, or heartburn
  
• No symptoms during the 1st trimester!
• Horrible acne
• Greasy skin and hair (no matter what I did!)
  

This baby:

• m/s day and night!
• Fatigue: exhausted to where I just want to sleep
• Cravings: sweet things (i.e. anything with syrup on it and strawberry jelly sandwiches)
• Aversion to one steamer pasta meal
• Frequent urination
• My bb's hurt horribly
  
• Heartburn
• My skin is clear and my hair looks full and healthy
  

First Daughter

• moderate m/s - never threw up - but spent many a moment out in the fresh air trying to prevent it
• was hungry, but couldn't stand eating any meat, drank pretty much nothing but lemonade at first
• was sleepy
• was hot all of the time

Second Daughter:

• m/s was worse - only threw up once though
• was NOT hungry, didn't want any food.  Oranges were my comfort food
• no fatigue
• tons of heartburn

This one:

• definitely the easiest m/s - queasy at times, but was controlled by keeping food in stomach
• hungry all the time at first!  want salty things (mmm...olives!)
• fatigue was worst of the three, but is now abating
• tons of gas and bloating

LoveMyLandonandBrayden:

Anybody else obsessing, lol?

Yes!

Son:

• Terribly exhausted all the time
• Horribly sick... didn't throw up much, but wanted to.  I just hate throwing up, so I made sure I kept it to a minimum
• Hair was completely greasy and limp
• Sore sore sore boobs (and big)
• cravings: frozen pizza, mac and cheese
• started showing a little bump in front at 22 weeks

This pregnancy:

• Not tired at all
• Wasn't sick enough to throw up... until yesterday, so I think I may have a little bug (just because I am getting to the point where it shouldn't start now)
• Hair is dry and fluffy (more curly too)
• skin is not as clear and have a few blemishes... I never break out, ever!
• boobs are fine and same size
• cravings: Ice cream, lemon italian ice, taco bell pintos and cheese and cinnamon twists (usually hate taco bell)
• feel like I'm spreading sideways (not out in front with a bump)

First Pregnancy

•  m/s day and night--started late 7 weeks.  No vomiting because I control it by breathing.
• Horrible fatigue---I am always tired!  Sometimes in bed by 8:00 pm
• Cravings--My normal food loves, pizza, burgers, chinese,salty, sweet, whatever I have loved before being pregnant.
• Aversion to so far:  Sausage.  It makes me gag.
• Frequent urination
• Horrible Heartburn--day and night.
• My bbs are usually vendor tendor and sore.
• Great hair, pretty good skin, a few very small pimples here and there, but overall pretty good!
• Bloating is extreme

All my boys:

• M/S bad but did get easier with each pg but still pretty bad      
• clear skin
• boobs never sore
• craved bread and meat
• horrible heartburn
• hair grew like crazy
• no cramps   
• fatigued bad, slept alot                                                                                                              

Dd pg:

• no m/s
• bad nausea
• bad aversions
• sensitive to smells bad
• loved chicken could eat it everyday
• craved deserts
• no heartburn
• hair stopped growing
• bad skin, huge zits like the size of boils
• frequent urination
• boobs hurt
• fatigue but not real bad, not enough to sleep
• headache bad

This pregnancy:

• No heartburn
• horrible skin, huge zits
• hair has stopped growing already
• frequent urination
• boobs hurt
• fatigue but not enough to sleep
• sensitive to smells
• headaches bad
• nausea but no M/S
• craving cinnamon rolls

So far really similar to dd, but I am not sure if that is because there is a 6 year gap between the boys and her and I had gastric bypass after ds3, changing my appetite and eating habits and body chemistry and all that so who knows I could just have the same symptoms and carrying a boy. I don't really put much into symptoms even though looking at the differences you would think I would but I really do think it's because my body was changed, not because the gender was changed.

*Both boys*

- No m/s

- No nausea

- Could eat anything, no aversions

- very sleepy all the time

- Clear skin

- Nice hair, grew very fast

- lots of gas and bloating

- Craved meat, bread and salt & vinager chips

** This pregnancy

- no m/s.. I hate throwing up

- no gas and very little bloating

- severe nausea up to 14 weeks, usually worse at night

- don't really want any meat but chicken

- crave sweets

- tired,not really sleepy but if I lay down, I'm out like a light

And NIKKI, you just had to mention cinnamon rolls!! Now I want some 

#1:

No m/s

Frequent Urination

Craved salty foods

Terrible fatique

No sore bb's

 

#2

Very mild m/s if I let my stomach get too empty, only lasted 2 weeks

Frequent urination

Craved sweets

Mild fatique

No sore bb's 

 

#3

Lots of m/s throughout the day, especially after I eat

Tons of bloating

Aversions to too many foods to list. Only a handful of foods I can stand to look at or eat

Moderate fatique

Very sore bb's (can't even lay on my stomach!)

 

I thought DS2 was a girl because of the mild m/s (which I didn't have with DS1) and the different cravings. But this pregnancy my symptoms have been in a totally different ballpark!! I still don't put much stock in symptoms indicating gender but its fun to compare

 

 

crystal-light:

And NIKKI, you just had to mention cinnamon rolls!! Now I want some 

LOL. I know it sucks. I don't have any at the moment and the second I walk into a stoor the thought of food just does not appeal to me so I haven't shopped much for groceries lately and when I do I always forget cinnaon rolls. It's weird cause with dd I craved eveything desert like. With this one just cinnamon rolls. Sorry, lol. The other day there was thread I replied to about A1 sauce and I love that stuff. Haven't stop thinking about that either. Pregnancy is just weird. A1 steak sauce and cinnamom rolls. mmmmmmmm!!!!!

With my Son:

• Exhausted before I even knew I was preggo (found out at 6wks) but subsided about 10-11 wks
• Nasea most of the time, couldn't bear to look at a toilet or else I would throw up!
• Hair was perfect - no probs at all, Skin was good.
• Don't remember boobs being sore...
• Could not eat chicken
• cravings: veggies, veggies, and veggies
• started showing early around 12 wks

This pregnancy:

• Exhausted all the time... still am now at 11 wks
• Nausea with all foods (at the beginning), now I'm able to eat more things, but am extremely sensative to smells. 
• Hair is dry and scalp is extremely dry, skin is extremely dry even with tons of lotion.
• Boobs are sore and every now and then I feel like my nipples are being twisted!  Ouch!
• cravings: fruit and ice cream... lots of sweet things, but yummo ice cream!  Too bad there's not a DQ close to me!
• started showing between 9-10 wks

*** speaking of cinnamon roles, I think I'm going to have to go to the store right now and pick some up!!! ***
