Did you have symptoms like you did with the first child's pregnancy before taking the pregnancy test?
When I was prego with my first child I immediately had sickness, super sore and full breasts, etc...
My second child, I hardly had any signs...NO breast soreness or fullness at ALL! Just fullness later on, of course. But with my first, hubby couldn't even LOOK at them without hurting them, LOL. It hurt to BREATHE!...infact the test was my only "symptom" for awhile on the second child's pregnancy.
People often say, "I knew the minute I got pregnant". Not me.
I am having my suspicions...but it's too early for a test. But my breasts have been just tingling a little, just enough to notice and go along with my horrible headache and mouth watering nauseousness I had this AM about 2 hours after waking up.
I've been on BCP but my period has never been right since weaning my 13 mos old at 8 mos old. My body is way more wonked out after pregnancy and BFing this time that it was the first time around.
Anyone have less dramatic preg symptoms with the more pregnancies they have? LOL...hope I worded that right.
Thanks.
Yes, my symptoms were different all 3 times, so it certainly is possible to feel just about anything, or nothing at all. You can take PG tests so early now, so just be patient - but PLEASE START TAKING PREG.VITAMINS RIGHT AWAY, with the all-important folic acid. Will certainly do no harm if you're not PG. Enjoy!

w/ my 3rd I didn't even realize I was pregnant until i was 14 weeks. You'd think by then I would know....I think I was just too busy. "Every pregnancy is different".
Hi J.- well when I was pregnant with my third child.....my husband told me "maybe you're pregnant", which I poo-pooed since I knew IMMEDIATELY with my first 2 that I was pregnant. There was such a long time between getting pregnant with child # 2 and #3 that I didn't think it was going to happen. So my answer to you is "yes". Since you've been on birth control, I think you'd better go see your OB/GYN immediately.
I just had my third child 5 weeks ago. Every one of my pregnancies have been different. The first 2 were boys, then a miscarriage and then my little girl. My second I had the least symptoms and sometimes would forget I was pregnant because I didn't feel like I was. With my girl I was sick as a dog and miserable so much of the time. Of course we had several serious life events going on at the same time which could have led to some of that as well. We took the pregnancy test while living in a hotel suite with our 2 children and 5 cats(one terminally ill, one mama with 2 nursing kittens and 1 so freaked out she left scars on me) while we dealt with having half our house majorly repaired after it flooded(asbestos removal, drywall removal, carpet..the whole kit and kaboodle!). We didn't even realize I was late right away and didn't even think it was pregnancy and not just stress over everything we were dealing with at the time.
I was never one of those, "I knew immediately!" women, either. ;P I have 4 kids (and I've has 2 miscarriages,) and the symptoms were very different every time. Luckily, my 1st was the only time I was nauseated and throwing up for 3 months! I think the first time, the body is unused to it all, and after the first, your body goes, "Oh, this again. I know what to do."
My symptoms changed with each of my 6 pregnancies that were full-term (I had 2 miscarriages). The symptoms were text book with the first, less with the second, and extreme indigestion with the 3rd, 4th, and 5th, but less extreme with each subsequent one. With my 6th pregnancy I was pregnant, but didn't feel like it at all. I thought I might miscarry. I didn't. My healthy, beautiful baby just turned 1! My emotions, however, were way off the charts. Anyway, God bless you. It sounds like you might just need wait till you can find out for sure!
I have 3 kids and everyone was different. from how long it took to get prego, early signs, how i carried, delivery everything the only thing that was the same was the anxiety that they would be healthy. i have 2 boys and a girl and I dint think it mattered the sex of the baby either.
it does sound very likely you could be pregnant but it also could be just hormones. good luck
I had three pregnancies and each was totally different. Don't expect them to be the same. My first was my easiest with hardly any morning sickness, the second...I had morning sickness 24/7!!! The third I had morning sickness, but not anywhere near as bad, but my breast hurt and became engorged. They were all boys, so it has nothing to do with sex as some people tried to tell me:)

Hi J.,
I have a 2 1/2 year old daughter, I had massive migrane headaches (all day) for a couple days. I took Tylenol twice and it didn't do anything so I just decided to go see a Doc. I thought I might have been under stress and after the urine test.. I was told I was prego.. at that point I was already 6 weeks. I didn't have any other symptoms at all throughout the pregnancy (aside from actual delivery day) I hope this helps. Good Luck!!
I am 5 weeks into my 3rd pregnancy.
I would say that the symptoms have been less.
some people say that different sexes cause different symptoms.
My first pregnancy I was REALLY sick and breast sore. I think that after breastfeeding the breasts just don't get as sore.
Hi, J.,
I've been pregnant four times. I never felt a tingling sensation in my breasts when I was pregnant. The symptoms I did experience varied from pregnancy to pregnancy. Only a doctor's pregnancy test (or delivery) can verify whether you are pregnant.
Best wishes,

I was ten weeks along with my third one and felt that quickening/butterfly feeling before I realized I was pregnant. Due to very large life stressers (second grandmother to be buried in less then 6 months and family fights regarding the will/estate, hubby finishing his BA, #1 in preschool, in the weaning process with #2, hubby and #1 involved in minor car accident, End of year holidays/festivites, ectect.) I hadn't given thought about my periods until that day, I've always been more or less regular. When I felt him move the next night, I really couldn't remember when I had had a period.
So really my first "symptom" was this tiny little flutter at 10 weeks along. Completely unlike my first two. But each pregnancy got easier with less symptoms. Pretty morning sick w/#1, less sick with #2, ect. In fact I remember having been with my dad and weighted myself on a fluke (pants were tight!, lol) and shocked to realized I had gained nearly 10pounds - that was about a month before I realized that I was pregnant, but both of my previous pregnancies I had lost 5-10 pounds early in the pregnancy due to being morning sick! (Of course not realizing I was pregnant at the time I went and purposely lost the weight, opps!)
And yes I could feel him at 10 weeks... At 14 weeks I had to have a lvl 2 ultrasound (guessed wrong on the dates and the blood tests came back positive for downs syndrome) and I could not only feel him "jump" but we got to see the movement on the screen too! But then I had felt the previous two babies pretty early on as well - #1 was felt at 17 weeks, #2 felt at 14 weeks.
best wishes to you!
I am 12 weeks with my third. After breastfeeding the first 2, I have no soreness this time! There's nothing left! haha I do feel more tired this time around than ever before, but that's probably just because I have 2 others. I will say that the only tell tale sign that I was definitely pregnant this time, was how tired I was and my appetite.
Good luck!
I had just the opposite...really mild symptoms with my first and 24/7 morning sickness for several months with my second. The first had a fast labor (4 hrs) and the 2nd long (15 hr).
I think every pregnancy is different. You'll know pretty soon if you're expecting again.
