Sophia & Brayden {Differences in Pregnancy}

Recently, I’ve had a few of my girlfriends ask how my pregnancy with Sophia was different than Brayden’s. Of course there was some similarities but there were also a ton of differences. At times, I almost wished I didn’t know what pregnancy “felt” like because I felt so different- Cue in the anxiety!
Here’s my list of differences while being pregnant with Brayden. Some may be TMI- just cover your ears 😉

I broke out (pimples) like crazy within the first few weeks of being pregnant- I felt like a middle schooler.
{TMI Warning} I had to wear a panty liner starting in the first trimester and continue to wear one throughout my entire pregnancy.
I gained more weight; three pounds to be exact.
I carried differently, more basketball-ish.
Craved: KFC and Frosted Flakes with B, Pizza Town (local pizzeria) pizza and mozz. salad with ranch dressing with Sophia.
Emotional Roller coaster-I did have my moments, but it wasn’t nearly as bad as the first time around.
Had no back pain (I did go to a chiropractor every other week which I believe helped so much.. Highly recommend seeing one if you have any back discomfort. Dr. Gabriels is a-maaazing!
{TMI Warning} My water broke/gushed with Brayden. With Sophia, it leaked.
I was pooped/exhausted and so uncomfortable in the third trimester.
I felt more Braxton Hicks.
I couldn’t handle the smell or taste of Chinese food.
Super easy delivery (read all about that here).
My Swag/pregnancy waddle started way earlier.
Brayden came 13 days earlier than his expected due date (Sophia was 8 days early).
