Have any of you felt significantly better in one pregnancy compared to another? I don't know if I just can't remember (I was pregnant with my daughter 5 years ago, so I'm sure everything seems different in hindsight). But I definitely feel like I felt worse with her than with this one. I felt pretty nauseous fairly early on. It was my first obvious sign I was pregnant. I was so nauseous at 9 dpo, we'd gone to a food festival for the day (not the best idea!) and I just had to leave and come home and lie on the sofa the rest of the day. I do think I felt better again maybe for a bit around this time (I'm 6+3), but I still felt really tired and had no appetite. And then nausea came back again around 8-9 weeks before it went away around 10.
But this time, I feel oddly better than I expected. I have had nausea, but it's been here and there, some days are worse and some days are mostly fine. I've been ravenously hungry, rather than losing my appetite, which is strange. My whole pregnancy last time I didn't have much of an appetite, even after the nausea had gone away. I am tired, but I'm always tired anyway. I have a 4 year old and I work full time with long days at least three days a week, getting up for work at 5am and not getting home until 7pm. So I should be tired! I am really hormonal though, much more than last time. I nearly cried in the shop yesterday because they didn't have any digestives and I really needed digestives!!
I know different pregnancies are just different, but I've always heard that second ones are worse than first. All my friends who had an easy time the first time around really suffered with their seconds. But I feel relatively good. Maybe I'm just so tired that I'm used to begin really tired and I'm too tired to notice how bad I actually feel! Or maybe it's still coming? I know I definitely felt pretty ill already by this time last time, but maybe it will hit in another week or so.
Anyone else feel a lot different this time compared to previous pregnancies?
