Anyone have different symptoms in 1st versus 2nd pregnancies? I had horrible nausea and vomiting the first time but it’s been much milder this time (both girls and have seen the baby on ultrasound and she is doing great). I know I should be happy but it is a little disconcerting

Yes! No nausea at all in my first pregnancy and low appetite/felt nauseated during first trimester of second pregnancy and a lot more lower back pain for second.

I thought I had bad nausea my first pregnancy… my second pregnancy taught me that my first pregnancy was mild and delightful haha.

Trust the ultrasound and enjoy the mild symptoms.

Every pregnancy is different regardless of gender etc. Try not to stress unless you have an actual reason to mama

Almost zero symptoms in first, healthy pregnancy.
Some nausea and vomiting in second pregnancy that resulted in a miscarriage.
Almost zero symptoms in third, healthy pregnancy. Maybe 1 or 2 more than first.
As you can see - super random. I wouldn’t symptom spot- it’s not scientific.

First had HG, was on prescription meds till the day I delivered, tons of food aversions, pure exhaustion in the first tri (spent several weeks essentially bedridden), lots of swelling in the third tri, etc. Second pregnancy I barely even realized outside of the heartburn.

Both healthy babies with no complications!

I used to joke that I would be one of those women who showed up to the hospital not knowing she was pregnant, if I hadn’t been trying to conceive. It was that easy. Glad you’re having the same experience, hopefully that stays! I will say I also had a MUCH easier labor the second time around too, 8 minutes of pushing

Yep — no nausea or heartburn this time, even though they were very bad the first time. My mom said all her pregnancies were different too.

My first pregnancy was great except for some bad indigestion third trimester. I'm now in my second trimester with my second and honestly was nervous for my first ultrasound because I've been feeling so, so good and wasn't sure I was still pregnant.

Agree with others that every pregnancy can have its unique (or lack of) symptoms. It's a wild card, and you just got lucky this go around—enjoy it! Hopefully your apprehension will fade with each doctor appointment.

I’m having a really hard time with my changing body. 13 weeks, I don’t have too many bad side effects of pregnancy or anything so I consider myself lucky (no nausea ever etc) but I’m depressed at work, my skin is completely broken out and showing new broken face capillaries, and I’m not showing a bump yet so I just feel fat and big. I don’t know where this “glow” is but I look in the mirror and literally am grappling with not recognizing myself :( it’s been impossible to find any clothes too.

Hi everyone,
So I had my NIPT and NT scans last week and I’ve been getting pieces of the results back from my doctor in the patient portal. All seems okay but I’m a bit confused. Does anyone know if FirstScreen is the same thing as NIPT? I was under the impression that NIPT was in 90th percent of certainty for Down syndrome but the result we got, labeled FirstScreen indicate 83% certainty so I’m confused if there are more results coming? I messaged the doctor but haven’t heard back yet.
