Hey, congrats on your pregnancy!! Smile

I'm nearly 34 weeks pregnant with baby girl #2, & this time round it's been totally different to my pregnancy with Jenny. I've felt more aches & pains, & I get a lot of braxton hicks, which I never felt last time. & of course I'm bigger this time! Second pregnancies do have their good points though.. you feel & see the baby moving sooner for one thing. I'm sorry you're suffering with morning sickness.. I hope that goes away soon.

I hope you have a happy & healthy pregnancy!

Welcome back! Congrats on your new pregnancy!

My second pregnancy is very different from my first. With Alyvia I was barely sick, and with Victoria I was sick constantly. With Alyvia I didn't start to show until after 20 weeks, and with Victoria I was showing extremely early. I'm 29 weeks now and almost as big as I was when I was 40 weeks with Alyvia.

Hopefully your sickness passes soon Sad

I have heard of pregnancies being totally different experiences. I can't tell myself as I'm on my first one but my mom told me her pregnancy with me was very different to my brother. She said mine was a lot better and I was the second one. It depends on many factors.

Congrats!

The cramps are normal. Your uterus and ligaments are stretching to accomodate the growth. As long as you're not bleeding it's fine - but definitely not comfortable!
