Pregnancy Symptoms off and On

I have two daughters - a 3 year old and a 1 year old and the pregnancies were completely different. With my first I was sore all the time and I got sick every day from 6pm - 8pm on the dot, which at the time I hated but looking back the predictability of it was pretty convenient. That continued until about 14-15 weeks and the symptoms gradually disappeared.
With my second girl I would get sick on and off throughout the day and night. Nothing to predict it and no way to tell how long it would last. Sometimes I would be absolutely fine for 3 or 4 days before it would hit me again. The girls would be sore on and off as well. I had a previous miscarriage as well, so the coming and going of symptoms with my second was an emotional rollercoaster for me. But everything was fine and she is now 1 year old. Every pregnancy is different and your body is going to react differently to each one.
Congratulations on the pregnancy! Talk to your Dr, s/he should be able to help ease some of your worries. Also, have you heard the heartbeat yet? I think the chances of miscarriage drop significantly once the heartbeat is heard.

I had intermittent symptoms. Sore breasts weren't really a big symptom for me. Nausea was a huge one and pretty constant. But the rest of my pregnancy symptoms would kind of come and go for the first half of pregnancy.

I have 3 children and my first two were pretty similar and I was having a boy for both. I had nausea for the first trimester and then it went away and my girls were pretty tender for part of my pregnancy. With my third my pregnancy was completely different and I ended up haveing a girl. I had no nausea or breast tenderness. It is probably nothing to worry about since ever pregnancy is different but you can always call your doctor just to reassure yourself. Good Luck and I hope everything goes well.

As a childbirth educator and birth doula, I can tell you that each pregnancy is different. Your hormones are changing and because the each baby affects the hormonal cocktail in a unique way, this is part of the reason you have changing symptoms. Here's a link to a midwifery practice in your area. http://virginiamidwives.net/zlc-23517-1-2169-Seven_Cities...
Midwives take more time with you at each visit and are much more women centered than a OB practice. They will take the time to know you as a whole person and answer any and all questions.

All my pregnancy symptoms were off and on, with all four pregnancies. I had many days with no nausea, no breast tenderness whatsoever, and after the first trimester, many days where I felt just great! Maybe you are just having an easier pregnancy this time. Wishing you all the best - try not to worry! (Easier said than done, I know...)

Oh, and I totally second the advice to find a midwife instead of an OB/GYN - it's so so so much better!
