My Pregnancy Symptoms

Overall I have been feeling well during this second pregnancy, but it is certainly different from my first pregnancy. The most acute symptoms I felt during my first pregnancy were fatigue and a little of sudden weight gain. I used to walk a lot around the university, and I remember starting to feel an incredible fatigue while walking. It was not normal for me to feel that way because I always have done exercise. I also felt way tired during the mornings. As for the weight gain, I have been skinny all of my life, and my weight is pretty stable. At the moment, I noticed that I suddenly gained a few pounds, particularly in my breasts. In about a month and a half, my cup went a size up. These were the only acute pregnancy symptoms I had during my first pregnancy.

My second pregnancy is a complete different story. First, I got cold and allergies. The allergies caused me severe congestion, especially during the mornings. I was experiencing diarrhea during the mornings too. The doctor said that the diarrhea was the result of the mucus bacteria going down my throat and esophagus to my stomach. She prescribed me with Chlorpheniramine, a medicament that treats cold and allergies and is safe during pregnancy. (DISCLAMER: I am not a doctor. Consult your doctor.) This medicine worked on me, and the allergies, cold and diarrhea went away. The doctor also told to keep hydrated with water and Gatorade. 

Another big difference during this pregnancy is that I have not suffered from extreme fatigue but tired during the afternoons. During my first pregnancy, I could barely wake up during the mornings. During this pregnancy, I wake up automatically anywhere between 6:00 AM and 7:25 AM. 

In addition, I am practically underweight at the moment. Right now, I am at approximately seven weeks of pregnancy and weighting about 107 pounds. Contrarily, I weighed 116 pounds at this time during my first pregnancy. My breasts are swollen but have not grown that much in size. I practically do not look pregnant.

Lastly, I am suffering from morning sickness almost every day. I have been feeling food aversion and vertigo too.
