Second child pregnancy?

Question

I am about 4weeks preggo with number two, just curious about other women's #2 pregnancies. This one already seems so different. No nasea, just hurting boobs and a little achy.

Answer 1

I have been told when i had my second child that my body had already got ready for a child and doesn't have to make that many changes. And if we didn't feel better with our second child then we wouldn't do it again would we? Mother nature is a great thing. Also i found a site that can tell you more. http://pregnancy.about.com/cs/secondpregnancy/a/aasecondtime.htm Hope this helps.

Answer 2

my first and second pregnancies were polar opposites! with the first I had nausea for about 2 weeks, with my 2nd, I puked my guts up all day long for the entire twelve weeks I was pregnant! I got migraines every day, and was totally exhausted with # 2 and nothing like that with # 1. I think it was because the 2nd was a boy and the 1st was a girl. But who knows? With # 3 I was only nauseous twice! But I had contractions for 2.5 months before I went into labor. With the first, I never felt my contractions until I was dialated to a 7 and my water broke with # 3 It broke first at a 4 and I had wicked contractions immedeately, and delivered in 4 hours. They are all different, you never know what you're gonna get!!!

Answer 3

I've had four (no I'm not crazy and yes they all have the same daddy) and I can honestly say every one was so vastly different! People would say oh, this one is so different you must be having a boy/girl. Or, you must be having twins (thanks no..especially that last pregnancy!) All I can say is just be happy that you aren't sick! I do think we get better at handling the symptoms with subsequent pregnancies. I think you handle the beginnings of nausea better so it doesn't become full blown sickness where with a first pregnancy I tended to not eat when I felt sick but learned that if I wanted to feel better I needed to eat more. Congrats on expecting your second!

Answer 4

this is my second pregnancy and it is worse! With my daughter I was extremely tired, but still worked 4 hour shifts, toward the end I was out of breathe and had very bad water retention since the begining.

With this one I am so grumpy that I don't even like myself. I cry alot and am so short of breath and so exhausted that I get weak and just lay there vibrating inside. I get so dizzy and often catch myself on the verge of fainting and have to sit down. I am not working obviously, as I have a physical job. I can't stand my pets, especially the dog.. my lovable guy just annoys me. I NEED everything clean or else I freak out cause it makes me feel dirty. I get upset very easily and my skin is sore and dry. I am a mess, lol.

This may be my last one...all this and I am 15 weeks pregnant.

Answer 5

a million. became your 2d baby planned or a marvel? If planned, how lengthy did it take to get pregnant? My 2d baby became planned. i began attempting in August yet did not get pregnant until eventually March. So it did take me 7 months to conceive. 2. How a procedures aside in age are your first and 2d baby? they are 2 years, 10 months aside. 3. Did you hit upon the transition from a million to 2 to be complicated or not so undesirable? at first it became complicated at the same time as the toddler became a new child, yet now that's not undesirable. 4. How did your first baby take care of turning out to be an older sibling? She loves her little brother. She dealt with it basically fantastic. 5. In what procedures became your 2d being pregnant different out of your first? (more desirable of a lot less morning disease, weight benefit, etc.) I received a lot less weight, a lot less morning disease. 6. In what procedures were your little ones different? they are an same. My daughter cried alot at the same time as she wasn't being carried and that is the way the toddler boy is :/ 7. Did you desire you would have a 2d baby of an same or opposite sex as your first or did you not care? What did you eventually end up having? i did not really care. My first is a lady, the 2d boy. I do opt for more desirable youthful ones and would like yet another woman and boy. 8. How previous were you once you had your 2d baby? i became 25 years previous. 9. After your 2d, did you intend to have more desirable or did you confirm you've been done? I plan to have more desirable.

Answer 6

Every pregnancy is different just as every child is. Good luck and enjoy the differences now and later. I craved buttered toast and tomato soup made from those little packets. With my second I had to have chocolate graham crackers. That's the only thing I did while pregnant

Answer 7

Just found out that I'm pregnant with my second and with the first it was no nausea no probs im only 4 weeks and ive already been sick for three lol hopefully that means i got a girl this time :) Good luck

Answer 8

With my second pregnancy I had no nausea, and I carried diffrent so I thought it was a girl becuase I have a son and thought since the entire pregnancy was totally opposite that the sex of the baby was diffrent. It turned out to be another boy so the diffrencies of the pregnancy has nothing ot do with it. I hope you the best for your baby

Answer 9

I am just a few weeks ahead of you in my 2nd pregnancy. It is completely different as well. I have not vomited, which I did a lot my first. I am just absolutely exhausted. My mom told me that her second (Me) was completely different from her first as well. It's normal

Answer 10

My second one was soooo different. I was sick all the time and by 6th month I hurt everywhere. I will say though, the delivery was much much easier.
