Anyone feel completely different this time around?

And to what do you attribute the difference?? I wonder if it has to do with how healthy we are.

Does anyone feel they are healthier now than last time, and still feel more awful? Maybe my theory is crap and all pregnancies are just so different.

During the first trimester of my last pregnancy I was *so* nauseous. Things smelled horrible. I felt awful - right away.

Right now, I'm feeling great! Other than sore breasts and having to pee all the time, I don't have any other indicators of this pregnancy... Oh yeah - I'm pretty hungry.

I do think I am a lot more healthy this time. If I'm hungry, I know to eat, rather than feel nauseous as a result, which in turn causes me to not want to eat and ends up being an awful cycle.

I'm also drinking tea that I let steep overnight containing nettles, oatstraw, red raspberry leaf, and alfalfa in a 4:3:2:1 ratio. Once I get to my 2nd tri I'll change that to 3:3:3:1 and 3rd - 2.5:2.5:4:1. I'm doing this in place of the prenatal vitamins I took last time.

I'll let you know if I start to feel crummy, I promise!! :lol

So far I am feeling very different! I haven't started my health regime quite yet as I am waiting on my next paycheck to get my RRL/nettle tea and a prenatal yoga DVD, but I am eating a LOT better than I was with my first and I attribute that to why I'm not hurling my brains out every five seconds. *knock on wood*

too early for me yet, I am more dizzy so far, not been eating much due to no hunger, need to fix that I guess.

This time I will NOT gain a huge amount, it isn't needed for a healthy baby and wrecked havock on my system, this baby will not be meeting ben or jerry I promise

this baby will not be meeting ben or jerry I promise

Mmmmmm...... Ben and Jerry's......... YUM! :eat:

I was wondering about this too.

This is #3 for us and I felt crappy, nauseous and all that with my first two pregnancies. I feel pretty great this time so far.

One thing that is different is that I am not taking Dr. prescribed pre-natals. I am taking an excellent multivitamin from my health food store. Highly absorbable and not monster amounts of iron. We eat meat and lots of green leafy things. So I am not worried about that.

My symptoms are way different this time than they ever have been for any of my previous pregnancies and I am not sure why. The headaches and the nausea aren't anything I have dealt with in excess before and I have always had breast tenderness but this time I don't. Smells are also killing me too. I don't even like the smell of my husband right now and he smells great lol. Go figure.

I've never been sick, but usually by this point it seems that my boobs are killing me. This time they're fine so far. I have basically no symptoms at all, except peeing all the time and welling up in tears 5 or 6 times a day at absolutely nothing. :shy
