So did you get sick with all of your pregnancies or were your symptoms different?

I am asking this because with my first pregnancy, I threw up a few times and had numb hands when waking up. I remember one time my mom took me out to eat at a buffet. I was fine up until we pulled in the driveway then just randomly puked on the grass. My mom came out pouring cat litter all over the grass lol. I was so dizzy all of the time. I was pretty much a walking zombie. Then when month 9 came around, My feet were so damn fat! The swelling was horrible!

Then with my second pregnancy I was fine. Dizzy a few times in the beginning but never got sick or had any of the other symptoms I had with my first. Strange. I have heard so many people say the same thing. We are wanting to try for another one within the next 2 years and I'm kinda wondering how that will go. lol. So did you get sick with all of your pregnancies or were your symptoms different?

My first pregnancy was misery and vomit. My 2nd had neither misery nor vomit. There won't be a tie-breaker. I'm done having kids.

This is my third and never have had morning sickness or nausea with any of my pregnancies.

The only difference with this one is I'm now highly sensitive to anything with caffeine...including chocolate

With my second pregnancy, I had hyperemesis gravidarum and was vomiting 20-30 times a day until I got on medication for it. I believe I had it with my first pregnancy but it wasn't quite as severe. I also had horrible heartburn with my first.

I'm usually not nauseous.  I'm almost 23 now.  I had my first at 16, then 17,19,  20 and am now pregnant with #5.  Every one was different.  One pregnancy I was sleepy a lot.  My boobs are always sore and get huge.....that's usually one of the first signs that I'm pregnant.

 My first pregnancy I was sick at the beginning. I didn't get sick until I literally went to the Dr. for my first exam. I craved weird things that I don't eat normally, and things that I loved made me terribly ill (birthday cake). The sickness wore off after the first few months and I was fine until the end. In the last month or so I was a clean freak, HAD to shower twice a day and the house was spotless. I wore myself out. That year I made my first Thanksgiving dinner....I was also meeting DH's family for the first time, and I cooked for 35 people. I was so exhausted that my FIL had to carry me up the stairs because DH was at work. I was also hospitalized with Pyelonephritis at about 4 months during that pregnancy. Overall I generally felt good, I was glowing and looked great. I walked constantly and ate whatever I wanted pretty much.

My 2nd pregnancy I was very sick at the beginning as well. I couldn't gain weight which resulted in seeing a nutritionist. Doc's were worried that the baby wasn't gaining weight. I had an US that showed a low lying placenta, and also my blood work for Spina Bifida came back with high levels. I had to have a level 2 US done at another hospital 45 minutes away. Luckily DD was okay. My hormones were horrible during that pregnancy, I hated it. I also walked a lot during that pregnancy...my grandmother actually yelled at me the day before I delivered because I walked a total of 6 miles. She was terrified that I was going to have DD  on the sidewalk.

With my 3rd pregnancy I literally laid on my couch for a month. I couldn't move or it would make me sick. I couldnt hold anything down, and DH was really worried. I threw up so much that my ribs were bruised and sore from the constant vomiting. My throat was always sore, and I had terrible terrible heartburn and headaches. I had migraines that would last for days. I gained a ton of weight near the end of my pregnancy, but still remained pretty healthy. I was also very stressed, my hair was falling out and I was just miserable. We lived in FL, so it was extremely hot, and I cried a lot.

All 3 of mine were different! I was extremely sick the whole time with my 1st (was put in the hospital 3 times for dehydration), my second the morning sickness lasted a few months, but smells bothered me really bad.. With my last, I was hardly sick at all!
