I'm really trying not to stress. I hate this period of time between the BFP and first ultrasound. My first ultrasound won't be until 12 weeks, which feels like forever away.
With Jack I had no appetite and major food aversions at 6w1d. I was also so tired I could barely function.
This time I would never know I'm pregnant. Yes, I have a newfound affinity for grapefruit and I eat it every day, but that's likely nothing. My boobs might be a bit bigger, but I'm not sure. That's it. I feel totally normal.
Has your pregnancy this time around been completely opposite from the first time?
Mine is really different too. I am having a lot of GI issues this time but that's it. No throwing up or nausea like last time, I had that from 6-13 weeks every morning. I don't have a scan until 12 weeks either, it sucks but is "normal".

Well, this eases my mind a little. I can't look up anything about early pregnancy without reading about missed miscarriages and it's really messing with my head. I have a google problem.
Mine were both completely different and textbook to the old wives tales.
No morning sickness with L. No symptoms at all really. I did have some food aversions but they weren't that strong. Hair quit growing on my legs .
With E, I had morning sickness before I even got a positive test. I didn't show until much later... Past 20 weeks. Hair on my legs didn't grow as fast but didn't stop growing like with L. I craved sweets which is against the norm for me. One night I even tore the kitchen apart looking for a tub of cake icing I thought we had shoved somewhere... The craving for sugar was insane.

With Pey I never felt pregnant until close to 10w when I started getting sick. With this one I was miserable from 6w-13w. So yes, very drastically different.
Not super different. With Audrey I was like you, zero symptoms. It made first tri really scary and nerve-wracking so I feel you. This one I had a bit of motion sickness and food aversion, but nothing really bad.

Mine were totally different. I told my doc from 8 weeks I was sure the last one was a girl because my symptoms were so different. With Aiden I was never too sick and had little symptoms. With autumn I was nauseous until 20 weeks and on zofran the whole time.
With A, no symptoms. My boobs were a little sore but like period sore, and I was tired (I never napped before), that's it. I seriously worried something was going to happen but everything turned out fine. The lack of symptoms was concerning but she's alive and well!
Mine were very different. I didn't have any symptoms, other than sore boobs, until 8 weeks with Lincoln. With Calvin, I was throwing up before even getting a BFP. And it was a waaay early positive.
I have felt pretty much the same this time as I did with B. I maybe felt a little more nauseous in the beginning this time but I think that's because I found out way earlier. And I have been thinking all this week, "I haven't shaved my legs in 2 weeks, why are they not more hairy?" Now I remember about the hair growth. We are team green but that just further supports my theory that this baby is a boy too.
I think my pregnancies have been pretty similar. I haven't had morning sickness with any of them. Maybe my boobs were more sore this time? I'm still feeling pretty ok but expect that to change right around 38 weeks if things stay the same.
I had the symptom-free pregnancy first round and was very nauseated first tri this time. I'm showing a lot earlier, and I've gained about fifteen more pounds at this point. Last time the exhaustion went away after 13 weeks, and this time it's only intensified.
My hair never stopped falling out last time and turned fairly reddish. The color hasn't changed much this time, and it's not falling out. My leg hair is growing SOOO quickly. I'm a beast.

After Joanna was born, my leg hair grew so slowly! Until I got pg with E. lol. Now I'm a hairy beast again.
Hormones are so weird.
I know. Just when I think I've got it figured out, hormones come along and mess things up. I almost cried at school yesterday because I had had a bad night with H. A couple of my students saw me and asked if I was about to cry. I had to tell them my eyes were watering. Hormones strike again.
Mine are pretty similar by I didn't have as much nausea this time and I never threw up at all. The nausea/aversions I did have started late. It worried me and I was googling the same things as you. The baby is heathy though and I'm sure yours is too! I've had less aches and pains this time but I am tired all the time.

When I didn't have nausea in 1st tri I asked about it and I remember your response. It really helped me feel better, I just wanted you to know!

Lol. I'm glad it helped. Not every gets morning sickness but people make it seem like something is wrong if you don't! Not the case.
Very different. No exhaustion, sore boobs for the first time, morning sickness in the first tri were all new with this pregnancy. Still puking now (due to my terrible mucous problem though, not m/s) but not even any food cravings.
Pregnancy is weird. I had this two week honeymoon of zero symptoms bt 6-8 weeks but spent it terrified that I'd miscarried.
With julian I was sick and queasy fast. I was on and off nauseous for nine months with him. I couldn't drink or smell coffee anymore. I craved meat, lots and lots of meat. I had round ligament pain so bad I could barely walk and I kept getting kidney infection tests done because I thought it was that. It only lasted 2 weeks at 30 weeks. I had braxton hicks the last month only.
With Vivienne, I only got sick at Week ten, it last a couple weeks and went away. I still drank my coffee no problem. I ate a lot of olives and onions, especially in Greek salads. I felt Round Ligament pain from the second tri to the last. I had braxton hicks early and often until she was born.
Btw I've had a missed MC before, and worrying won't make it better. They happen, but there is no reason to think you are having one, mild or no symptoms are normal. Take a breath and enjoy the easy part!
