Moms of 2+: Did you carry the same or differently with each pregnancy?

I was looking back on pictures from my last pregnancy. It's a little hard to tell because I started out that pregnancy 25 lbs heavier than this one, but it kind of looks like I'm carrying the same. My belly seems smaller, which could be due to being a smaller size, but the shape is pretty similar.

I was just curious whether your pregnancies differed at all in the way you carried.

Re: Moms of 2+: Did you carry the same or differently with each pregnancy?

With DD1 I gained EVERYWHERE. My a$s, my belly, my face etc. I had a girl
With #2 I carried in my belly. Nothing else changed (that was all that noticeable anyway) and I had another girl

Re: Moms of 2+: Did you carry the same or differently with each pregnancy?

with my first two I carried pretty much the same. Not big enough yet with #3 to tell.

Re: Moms of 2+: Did you carry the same or differently with each pregnancy?

I started this pregnancy 65 lbs less then with my first pregnancy. And I've gained 28 lbs, so the gap in my weight isn't as great as it was but I feel like my belly does stand out more this time.

Overall I think that I carry very round when pregnant...I think it's just my shape in general. Lol, I've always been a round person. But underneath it all I feel like this time there's a basketball in there, and last time it was maybe a sideways watermelon.

Anyway we have a daughter already and this time we are also team green so we'll see what happens!

I carried very differently with my two pregnancies. With both, I was all belly, but the second, I carried much lower than the first. I was also much rounder all around my belly the second time, whereas the first I had a "pointier" belly that just kind of went right out from the middle. I was WAY bigger with the second.one, although he was a pound and a half bigger at birth than my first son (and was also a week and a half overdue, as opposed to my first who was only 4 days late).

ds#1 i gained 24 lbs. Carried low i think.

ds#2 i gained 21 lbs and carried more round.

both

Re: Moms of 2+: Did you carry the same or differently with each pregnancy?

I'm carrying pretty much the same. I was about the same weight when I got pregnant both times. Only difference was my belly was alot flatter the first time around. So I was showing really early this time. I gained about 10lbs more last pregnancy and my face was very full and bloated looking towards end. This time my face stayed the same. I'm all belly with both.

Re: Moms of 2+: Did you carry the same or differently with each pregnancy?

Other than the fact that I'm carrying lower this time around, everything about this pregnancy is different. I'm having another girl

Re: Moms of 2+: Did you carry the same or differently with each pregnancy?

I gained more this time, but in general am carrying the same. Only gained in belly really, and am still pretty round and low. I did show earlier, which I think most do with the second.

Two pregnancies

Re: Moms of 2+: Did you carry the same or differently with each pregnancy?

With DD I carried very low. This time I'm carrying high and all in the belly.

Re: Moms of 2+: Did you carry the same or differently with each pregnancy?

I was 22 lbs less when I got pg this time, but I think I'm carrying the same. Most of my weight is in my belly so it's pretty big. I'm also carrying high again. Unfortunately I'm plus sized, so even with the 22 lbs off, I still look HUGE

ETA: I'm not sure if it matters, but I'm having another this time!

With ds (my first) I carried really low. So low I thought he might fall out. I gained weight everywhere and hated looking in the mirror. I was very uncomfortable.

With dd I carried really high and was all belly. She was born in September and I wore a bikini all summer lol I felt great and everyone said how great I looked.

Re: Moms of 2+: Did you carry the same or differently with each pregnancy?

I started out 10lbs heavier with this pregnancy but have gained significantly less thus far. I am the same weight I was with DS#1 at 14 weeks. I am also carrying the same.

We are team but I am convinced I am having another

Re: Moms of 2+: Did you carry the same or differently with each pregnancy?

I think I'm carrying exactly the same. I have to take a picture and compare to make sure. I'm 19 weeks now and my first belly pic with DS was at 19 weeks also. Maybe I'll post the pictures and see what everyone else thinks.

Re: Moms of 2+: Did you carry the same or differently with each pregnancy?

I'm carrying lower and larger this time. Both pregnancies are girls. I had a major face change with my first dd and so far this pg my face has stayed the same!
