With all three pregnancies I was very fortunate and blessed to have conceived our first month trying and pretty much knew right away. Of course, that doesn't mean that I didn't second guess myself and the 2ww was still horrible!

With DS1 the next morning I was standing in my boss's office meeting with her and drinking coffee. I thought to myself "wow either my husband made the coffee really strong today or we succeeded. The first trimester was full of extreme exhaustion and ravaging hunger! Did not get morning sickness at all, complete opposite. I had to eat every hour or so (something heavy and filling) or I'd get really shaky and weak and feel like my stomach was going to eat itself. I would sometimes hide my face behind my computer at work to close my eyes 'for just a few seconds' because I was so tired. I only gained weight in belly and had a basketball. Other than that, pretty easy pregnancy. I didn't see what the hype was about. My mood or emotions didn't change.

DS2 - I felt pregnant right away but didn't let myself believe we could get so lucky so fast again. The fatigue and hunger was there again, and for the most part things were the same, carried a basketball in front of me, but I carried a little lower. A couple vague differences but don't really remember. I had a very active 15 mo old boy at the time, and was still working. I had a short fuse!

#3 - I felt like I knew the minute sperm met egg lol! I had crazy ovulation symptoms (praying just one egg was released) and the next morning I woke up with this sense of peace and calmness like God was telling me....Thank you for finally listening to Me and following My plan!! Then...I quickly became very cold, and dizzy. I could not warm up and was always afraid I would faint. Around 5 DPO I got a gush of leukorrhea CM (sorry TMI) and have had a lot ever since. With first two it increased but not until about 6-7 months. This pregnancy is all over the place. Symptoms can change day to day or even hour to hour. One minute I feel good, hardly any symptoms and have more energy, the next I feel like I got hit by a bus. I think the dizziness and coldness is letting up a bit, not all day like before. I'm tired but in a different way. Sometimes I am really hungry, others not so much...though I did have one day where I was starving and literally ate all day. I don't know if I have a very slight case of morning sickness? I always pictured it like stomach flu...but my gag reflex is just a little more sensitive. A couple times brushing my teeth almost started dry heaving, and I haven't been taking my allergy meds or rinsing nasals so I sometimes gag on the mucus in throat (sorry TMI again and so gross)! It seems like I am getting fat already, even in butt and thighs. I feel like I'm showing already but there's no way my uterus is already under my belly button at 9 weeks...it's probably bowels and my diastasis.

I had implantation bleeding with all 3, and with #2 & #3 I had spotting at the time AF was due. I didn't get sore boobs with any, they just grow. I had frequent urination with all 3, starting within a few DPO.

I hate pregnancy symptoms!! I am trying so hard not to compare or think about gender but I can't help but analyze every symptom. Sorry - this is longer than I thought
