How was your second pregnancy different from the first?
"After one month of trying I became pregnant and had a beautiful healthy boy!"
"After over 7 years of trying to conceive and thousands of dollars spent on infertility treatments, I had actually succeeded to get pregnant the natural way without any drugs or medical intervention "
" I just wanted to say thank you for writing this program and for giving hope to women at my age. I am 46 and I am finally going to be a mother."

I know every woman is different, but I just want some opinions.
I just found out tonight I’m pregnant with my second, and I just wanted to know if the pregnancy was easier/harder for people with their 2nd kids as opposed to the first.
Thanks!
i am a mother of due and my youngest is 5mths and one thing i wish people would have warned me about with my second child is that you get pains after giving birth for me they were almost like contractions is what it is is the uterus going back to normal but i was told by the nurse that the more children you have it can tend to get worse so with your first you probably didnt notice the pain but with the second you will. not trying to scare anyone and it varies between children but i wished someone would have told me so i was prepared as it kind of scared me. other then that i found my pregnancys to be totally different
My first pregnancy was so easy even giving birth wasn’t as hard as i thought it would be. But now im 21 wks pregnant with my second and its been hard and painful in this pregnancy i have cramps back aches i have a cold all the time my ribs and back are killing me and my cramps are really bad to where i can barely get out of bed. And my back aches on my lower area and it causes my leg to hurt so sometimes i can barely walk. It sucks and it is so different from my first pregnancy I guess i was lucky in my first.
But we’ve been trying for almost 2 yrs to have another baby, so we are so excited!
Well with my first one I had no morning sickness at all… this time around I had it horribly, luckily its gone now (I’m 15weeks)… I’m also more of a "pregzilla" this time around… I’m having pretty bad mood swings lol… Oh well! It’s not too bad though… I’m happy! =)
well, they have been completly different for me so far.
with my first son i gained about 60 lbs. i had high blood pressure. but never felt had BH or any other symptoms throughout my whole pregnancy. 3 days after my due date i had to be induced. but the actual pregnancy was relativly easy.
this one i’ve been miserable! though i’ve gained SLIGHTLY less weight, my fingers and legs have swelled up to no end. at 13 weeks i had a threatened miscarriage. i was on bed rest for 2 months. i’ve had bleeding hemmoroids (ouch!!!), and painful rashes. i’ve had insanely painful leg cramps that will hurt for days after. and i’ve had PAINFUL BH for the past week.
My 2nd pregnancy is A LOT worse than my first was. I was in the military through my 1st pregnancy and had no morning sickness, cravings, or exhaustion…this time around I had wicked bad morning sickness, cravings that were awful (as soon as I got what I wanted I was disgusted by it !) and have NO energy to do anything…..this one has been a lot worse. My first was a boy and this one is a girl .
For some reason with my first pregnancy I don’t remember being so tired like I am now. It seemed easier to me. Well so far I am only 14 weeks alone and can’t wait to be at least half way through it or almost due. I might actually be a little bigger this time around. I also realize that my patience at times wears very thin. Hopefully I will breeze through this pregnancy.
my 1st one i was just really tired hardly had morning sickness now im 13 weeks with number 2 and wow!! this one sucks! been nothing but sick!!! was starting to feel better then got hit with a cold lol never fails!
