When I was pregnant, I didn't get sick at all and I didn't get heart burn. The only bad thing was that I was really tired all the time. Did you get morning sickness while pregnant or get heartburn or worse? Were you fine for your first pregnance, but your second pregnancy you got morning sickness?

I have only been pregnant once and these were my symptoms
1) I had carple tunnel in both wrists and it felt like under the skin they were on fire. I woke up quite a lot at night crying it hurt so bad.
2) Charlie Horses - I got them in the middle of the night too. I got them in my calves, feet, and thighs. Felt like someone punched me REAL hard.
3) I did get heartburn, but had never had it a day in my life until I got pregnant.
4) I woke up to pee numerous times a night but that one happens to all pregnant women.
5) Water Retention - Holy man did my feet and hands ever swell. While I was pregnant I couldn't wear my wedding band.
Honestly though, everything that I went through was sooooooooo worth it, I love my daughter more then anything and I couldn't imagine my life without her. I was really lucky though because I didn't get really bad morning sickness like my mom did while pregnant with my brother and I. When I told her I had no morning sickness she called me a lucky $h!t LoL.

I stayed sick with my daughter. I threw up for about 6 months. I could hear something gross and start gagging. If The thought of a hair in my mouth went through my head or if someone else got one in theirs I would throw up. food smells, BO, a wet dog, almost everything was the cause of a gaging fit or worse.
With my son, my first, I only got sick 3 times and would have done so the first two times anyway, so forgive me for not going into that. The last time though was cooking eggs. I have never before or since had any problem with eggs but that day I was so sick I almost passed out at the site of the broken eggs hitting the pan.LOL

I was only sick for the first three months and was fine after that. I was always tired and sleepy and craved for coffee, apples and yoghurt. I did experience leg cramps and heartburn towards the end of my pregnancy.

I only have one child. I had morning sickness the whole first trimester. It was horrible. It wasn't even morning sickness, I don't know why they even call it that. I had all day sickness. I would have to get up at 5am, just to get ready for work at 7, because I would be so sick. Then have to come home eat and sleep, because I would be up nights nauseous and stuff. It was horrible. I had bad heartburn and leg cramps, like the devil, also. It was one of the non-joys of being pregnant.

I guess maybe i was lucky :)
No morning sickness AT ALL, my partner just thought i was moody so i took a pregnancy test & sure enough i was!
I have to admit i am glad i didn't get sick at all - i'm such a sook when i don't feel well!
The only thing i did suffer from was SERIOUS calf cramps at all hours of the night & towards the end of the pregnancy i got a bit of heart burn but that was easily taken care of so yeah.
I think i was pretty lucky, especially compared to some!

I found during my last pregnancy I had to eat at regular intervals else i was sick. Which wasn't very pleasant as it was purely stomach acid. My first two were absolutely lovely. I did get heartburn and leg cramps with all of them though.
I honestly believe that symptoms can be different between carrying a girl and a boy as well.

I had "evening" sickness (not morning) when I was in my first trimester. I also had no appetite, got very easily tired and was moody. So far, I haven't been pregnant a second time yet. I'll see if I'll still experience the same things.

With my first, I started in with morning sickness, before I even knew I was pregnant, But ended up having to get a shot in the butt every morning for 4 months in order to stay pregnant...With him I had morning sickness everyday , even while giving birth. (I went into labor at 7months, was put on bed rest, then delivered 3weeks early)
With my second I was able to take a pill form of progestarone to stay pregnant with her, but was sick morning noon and night. Everyday, I was on bed rest the last month of my pregnancy (which was really spent sitting on the bathroom floor, because every time I stood up I got sick, with contractions the whole time, When I finnally delivered, Igot sick on delivery table only this time it sent my little girl in convulsions and we lost her, she was delivered quickly. And with a team of nurses and doctors at her aid they were able to bring her back, She had to stay in an incubator for a few hours to get her body temp back up...But the cool thing, was I had delivered at 9:00 at night, So by the she could be held, I was the only one there, and had her all to myself.
But regardless of all rollercoaster emotions, and events that occur during those pregnancies, I'd do it again in heartbeat (unfortunately I had some complications after my daughters birth that led to a historectomy...but I've got one of each and so I am happy)

I have had morning sickness rather all day sickness and heartburn through a majority of this pregnancy. And it really sucks, i wish i was one of the lucky ones that didnt get it, I have also been really tired throughout this pregnancy.

I only got sick for the first 3 months and that was after I ate really greasy food or took my prenatel without eating first
