Did anyone else find their second pregnancy harder than their first?

Answer 1

my first was pretty easy for me. the second was a little harder then the first i had more aches and pains. i am pregnant with my third and it is actually more like my first, pretty easy. every pregnancy is different. i guess i am lucky though because i never had to go through morning sickness with any of my pregnancies. i noticed that i got bigger sooner with my second and my third though. good luck.

Answer 2

I had complications in my second pregnancy that I didn't in my first. I also wasn't working with my second pregnancy so i think I had more time to think about it. I do know that the time from water breaking to new baby was 3 days longer with my second. I was also in te hospital longer due to a problem with Rh (I'm neg my babies are not with the second the lab said I couldn't have the shot the day i went and when I went back it was too late) The Dr suggested I not have anymore so I sent my old man in for the snip.I'm glad we did that because 2 keep me very busy! I also got one of each what more can you ask for.

Answer 3

With my first pregnancy I was healthy and I couldn't get sick even if I tried - but my kid was a nightmare - colick and reflux for 3 months straight.

My second pregancy I was sick the whole nine months, I could barely brush my teeth and I was on anti-biotics every 6 weeks - but the baby was amazing - she never cried fed and slept, never once has been on anti-biotics (she is 2 1/2 now) and is good as gold. Also she potty trained at 18 months and went to bed without a diaper at 2.

The way I see it, I paid the price while I was pregnant but I am having the easiest time now that she is here.

Answer 4

I think my second pregnancy to be much harder than my first I had my son first an with my daughter it just felt so different my hair was growing much thicker my nails were looking 100%better and i was eating everything my husband cooked(yuk) but i gained so much weight it was horrible i thought when i went into labor that this was going to easy but it lasted longer and I had to have a c-section but just wait until you have the 3rd child then thats' going to be no problem

Answer 5

Oh yeah. I had morning sickness for the first 20 weeks of my second pregnancy. My first I had absolutely no morning sickness at all. And In my second pregnancy I was in pain from 20 weeks on. It hurt to walk, my crotch hurt a lot, like someone was kicking me really hard.

Answer 6

My second pregnancy was definitley more difficult. I got bigger faster, I had worse morning sickness and my hips and my pubic bone ached constantly. I was just so achey and sore, I couldn't wait to go into labor. But the good part was that my labor and delivery was only 6 hours. Good Luck with everything. Just try to take it nice and easy.

Answer 7

I guess it all depends on the mom.

I'm sure you heard the old saying the second one comes out faster than the first. Well the pushing out part yes but the amount of time that your in labor now that I can say no because my first on took only 12hours and my second one took 16hours.

Answer 8

YES! And the 3rd is harder than the 2nd and the 4th was hardest of all. Morning sickness was much worse and false labor started earlier and was more intense. Sorry I don't have uplifting words but you definitely know how it'll end! :)
