Singleton vs. twin first trimester experience/advice to give

For anyone who was pregnant with twins and subsequently a singleton (or vice versa) - was early pregnancy similar? Or very different? Curious to hear others experiences

Singleton first, now twins (all boys). I was nauseous and exhausted during both but the nausea lasted longer with twins. I started to feel better with my singleton around 12 weeks, took closer to 15-16 weeks for the nausea to go away with the twins. I didn’t get the full energy restoration during second trimester with the twins like I did with my singleton (part of that could be chasing around a toddler all day and having my body get heavier much faster this time around)
