To Be 25 Weeks Pregnant




Different.



They say that every person's pregnancy experience is difference and no two pregnancies are alike. They say that pregnancies are diffrerent whether you are carrying a boy or girl. They even say that you will experience pregnancies differently for each pregnancy you go through. I was tying to think of that myself and figure out how this pregnancy is different than when I was pregnant with Joshua. I definitely think there are similarities, but there are differences as well. I wish I kept a blog or journal and could refer back to those, but unfortunately I only had about 3 entries into a journal. You would think that for the first pregnancy I would be better, but I wasn't. That is just like they say that you take a million pictures of your first baby and then when the second baby comes around you hardly take any. Hopefully, that isn't the case.

With Joshua I had no morning sickness. With this pregnancy, I did have morning sickness. I had elevated amniotic fluid with Joshua and so far as of my 20 week sonogram, the amniotic fluid level is normal. (Of course that could change). My fingers also swelled a lot earlier with Joshua's pregnancy than this pregnancy. That is not to say that my fingers won't swell, but by now with Joshua's pregnancy, I was growing out of my rings. With this pregnancy, my rings are still ok. I also didn't have many cravings with my last pregnancy. With this pregnancy, cravings come often. I also think I am more emotional with this pregnancy. I know I was a little bit emotional last time, but I feel it is much more extremem this time. (Should I admit that when I heard "Beat It" on the radio the day after Michael Jackson died, I cried. I wasn't even a huge MJ fan). With my last pregnancy, I broke out like a teenager. Can you say eww back acne? This time, pretty much clear.
