How did you carry for your different pregnancies?

[firstbaby]

Just curious - we don't know what #2 is and while there have been some similarities in pregnancies there are more differences. I know each pregnancy is different regardless of gender but thought this would be a fun topic!

Our #2 is a boy also and the pregnancy has been nearly identical to my first with Alek. I've had more smell-related/induced vomiting, but not much, and that's the only difference.

I have 3 sons and have carried all 3 differently. DS1 I got big all over. DS 2 i seemed to carry low and my feet swelled alot ( I also went up a shoe size during that pregnancy) DS 3 I was all out in the front but really didnt have much hand or foot swelling.

I carried physically the same for both DDs, although my belly got bigger much sooner with DD2 (no surprise there). I had far less morning sickness with DD2 as well, but I wonder if part of it was just that I wasn't sitting around thinking about being sick and was instead chasing after DD1!

ETA: With both PGs, I carried high and my belly stuck way out in front. And when they dropped down approaching d-day, it was very easy to notice.

#1 is a boy and I carried lower, #2 a girl and I carried higher. I joke they each wanted to leave their own set of stretch marks. LOL. Also, with Ds then I had some hip pain, and with Dd the rib-pain.

The other parts of pregnancy were pretty similiar...exhaustion/nausea/slight gestational diabetes/water broke first before labor.

DD I carried low and oval like, didn't stick out much.
With this pregnancy my belly sticks out way farther is rounder and is high.

I have two boys and had two completely different pregnancies. I was sure #2 was a girl, but it was definitley a boy. I carried DS#1 all over just blew up like a balloon. DS#2 was all up front and I had a big belly. I didn't get foot and hand swelling until the last two weeks with #2. With #1 I went up 2 shoe sizes and only went back down one. I forever have changed feet :)

I carried pretty much the same both times (both boys). All in front and pretty low. Although I am so short I was high and low!. From the back you couldn't tell I was pregnant, but from the side I looked like a lowercase "b". The only difference now that I think of it was that my feet swelled more the first time.
