Boy vs. Girl pregnancy, or first vs. second?

ashleyz

I'm convinced this boy is sucking the life out of me! I wanted my babies close together (my girl turns 1 today!!!) But I never imagined it would be so different! Severe hip pain, tired all the time, nauseous a lot, serious heartburn... my first was soooooo easy, mild heartburn but otherwise great! to all you second-timers... is it a boy vs. girl thing or first pregnancy vs. second?

This is my second girl and she's been way harder than my first! I think I'm just older and less active than I was last time, so it's making me sorer and more tired.

Its just a every one is different. I was SO hopeful this was a boy because my first 2 were practically easy breezey. This one my boobs were sore till 2nd tri, I leaked pee constantly, I had to munch every 2 hours or id get sick, I haven't stopped being tired but alas its another girl lol

Idk because my first was a girl and second was a boy lol. They were both really different.

My second was extremely worse and is a girl. My first was a boy

I think its a little of both. I agree with @laura536 that a lot of it depends on the shape you are in. My body hurts way worse this time, because im in terrible shape compared to the last. At the same time, it does seem like genders always make a pregnancy different too. Im just as miserable as my last but in a very different way.

My first (a girl) was worse than this one (my second and another girl). My first I was a swollen mess by 17 weeks, high blood pressure at 24 weeks, I puked every day and several times a day until I delivered her, I always had a cold, failed my one hour and barely passed my three hour, gained 47 lbs (28 of which was by 28 weeks), and wad preeclamptic at 38 weeks.

This one I had nausea and vomiting until 20 weeks (just came back at 28 weeks), but have been on bed rest for the last two weeks because of contractions. No high blood pressure, no swelling (yet), no sugar issues, and only up 13 lbs at 28+6 . No where near as stressful as my first.

My first was a girl, not too bad. Second a boy not too bad til horrible heartburn at the end. This is my 3rd another girl, and it has been the hardest.

This is my first and its a boy till about 14 weeks I was sick as a dog,I'm already petite and my doc was concerned because I was losing weight. Now at 34 weeks just hip and lower back pain,and non stop heartburn. Don't have any other pregnancy to compare to,but I think how I feel is just wat being preggers is all about

I'm having my second boy and this pregnancy has been completely different. While its been easy as far as no sickness or heartburn, its harder because I'm tired all the time, I can't breathe, I got huge...fast!! I'm just plain miserable this time! I guess keeping up with a 3 yr old boy doesn't help, but I'm excited to have my 2 lil men together.

I think is all about luck, every pregnancy is different, I dont think gender has anything to do with it, and im a living proof of that, since I am pregnant with my second girl and my first pregnancy was like been in heaven and with this pregnancy it feels like if I have been to hell and back a couple of times.

This is #3 and way different then the first 2. They were both boys, no pain, no sickness, nothing but easy. This one I have been in pain all the time and ive been nausus. and we found out this one is girl. Lol. So I think its a combo between gender , age and how many. Lol. This one I cant wait to be done. Still have 20 weeks, hopefully less.

this is my third and my first two were nothing like this. my first was a girl, then a boy, now another girl. this time around i am throwing up in my mouth, can't sleep for long periods of time, much more irritiable and a drastic amount more of hot flashes. i never had BH with my other two and this one is all the time.

This is my second my first was a girl she is 7 now. This pregnancy is way easier! I getting sick at least 10 times a day wroth her. But if I do with this one its only once. Not sure if its a boy.I find out in 3 days! And I've lost 20 lbs with this one.. I'm a little heavy so my dr isnt worried at all. Good luck everyone!

This is my 2nd and with my daughter its seemed like I was tired all the time and I got morning sickness at the end. With pregnancy I'm having a boy and I have way more energy but emotionally I'm a mess.
