I am officially 21 weeks pregnant with baby number two!
When I found out I was pregnant I started thinking, how it will be this time?, will it feel the same?, will my symptoms be the same ? etc.
Now when I have passed first trimester I can share my experience and compare it with my first pregnancy
- Nausea and vomiting- with both pregnancies I started feeling nauseous at approx. 5-6th week of pregnancy. When I was pregnant first time I felt nauseaus but I was not vomitting. This time round was something different - I could not stop feeling sick and I was vomitting even few times a day :(
- Food cravings - when I was pregnant with my first one I was into sour things or fruit. This time I didn't have any particular preferences. Especially because I was feeling sick a lot, I was not sure what I really what or if I want to eat anything at all.
- Sharper sense of smell - with both pregnancy my nose was super sensitive on any smell, even the ones that usually I would not even notice, like smell of tomatoes when I open a fridge :)
- Feeling tired - I guess because now I am already a mum and I have more on my head then when I was pregnant first time, sometimes I was feeling super tired, even if I didn't do any outings etc.. I was feeling tired and sleepy within few seconds.
- Swollen and painful breasts - well the body is doing what is supposed to be doing.
- Emotional ups and downs - I feel like this time I didn't have much of these. At first pregnancy I cried very easily for no particular reason.
- Acne - with my first pregnancy I did not have any problems with my skin. This time I started having few spots on my forehead, however this has passed quick.
