For those of you with other children is there any difference from your first pregnancies?

I've been pregnant 14 times (I have 10 children; lost 4) and each pregnancy has been different in some aspects. Morning sickness with most all (except for two that I miscarried). My pregnancies with the three boys seemed easier than with the girls. Summer pregnancies always involved much swelling. The last month is the same no matter what; backache, difficulty sleeping, pelvic pressure, and a sense of "I'll be glad to get my body back!"

I have 4, and every one was different. People say all the pregnancies are the same, but its just not true! I had issues with each one, all different!!

I was sick with my first pregnancy but nothing as bad as this I went from mild Hyperemesis with the First pregnancy to severe with this pregnancy. It's been much harder this time around in general. Part of this may be because I'm 6 years older. I lost weight till 23 weeks with Noah but with this one it seems like I'm still loosing at 27 weeks. It concerns me

First pregnancy (boy) had morning sickness most mornings and some of the day. Also had bad indigestion throughout and v tired put on about 28lb. Second (Girl) not too much morning sickness and hardly any indegestion, pretty good pregnancy not as tired put on about 28lb again. But this had to get Diclectin from doctor and took until about 4months, didn't have morning sickness but did have all day nausea, indigestion sometimes and tired, have only put on about 7lb and 26 weeks, I think this one is going to be another boy. Time will tell!!

I feel like I won't last until 40 weeks this time around. I am 28 weeks and I feel massive already. I didn't out on weight until about 18 weeks as I was sick in the beginning but since then I've made up for it. I'm not big everywhere but my belly seems huge! My first was a girl and this is a boy so maybe that is the reason. Or maybe I'm still stretched from last time. Or maybe he's a big baby. I've been quite lucky with both pregnancies. Generally well so far.

Yes! With my first, I had a really easy pregnancy, hardly no symptoms except for the morning sickness and nausea for the first 4 months, but with this one, I have had every symptom in the book so far. :(
