Since there have been a bunch of questions about 2nd babies, I have one....
Moms of 2....
How was your second pregnancy in comparison to your first?
I feel like I was blessed with an easy pregnancy--no morning sickness, no food aversions, but I did have some bad swelling at the end.
Just curious if #2 will be the total opposite or similar??
TIA!

Re: Since there have been a bunch of questions about 2nd babies, I have one....
My first pregnancy was a breeze, no issues, no morning sickness. I had a boy.
2nd pregnancy was harder. I had a lot of morning sickness and was induced due to high blood pressure a few days before my due date. I had a girl.
And I also found that my 2nd pregnancy flew by since there was no time to sit on the couch watching "A Baby Story" rubbing my belly.

Even though I had twins the second time - it was pretty much the same - no morning sickness - I felt good - huge, yes, but good.

My first was easy, no morning sickness, no real aches & pains, etc. Had a girl.
My second was awful. Morning sickness all day long, heartburn, and the worst was that he was lying on a nerve from about month 5 on so my leg constantly felt like it was on fire. Once in a while he'd shift onto my sciatic nerve, even worse pain. But worth it in the end.

#2 was equally as bad, unfortunately. Except #1 was bearable since I didn't work.

This pregnancy was very similar to my first.. no ms, just some fatigue in the beginning. I carried differently though and didn't gain as much weight this time around.

Pregnancy #2 was the same as my first for the most part. The main difference was that I showed a lot earlier and I gained more weight. I was tired a little more - most likely from chasing a 1yr old.

Total opposites.
First one - sick all the time, weight gain all over, GD, long labor/pushing, baby had NICU stay, etc.
Second one - much more a norm pregnancy, gained all in belly, no gd, no major complaints, much quicker (but more painful) labor, more painful recovery.
And both

Exactly the same if not worse...terrible morning sickness the first 2o weeks.
What makes it harder this time around is that I'm chasing a 26 pound little energizer bunny around.
I miss napping I did that a lot the first time.

Ditto to both, except with my second (the girl), my MS got better around week 12.

(I've only been pregnant once, and I did that a lot!)

I have 2 DD's... Both of my pregnancies were the same - I think my 2nd was easier because I didn't get as big as with my first.

1st boy, 2nd girl.
I was more tired in the beginning (although could be running after a toddler & working F/T).
Minimal morning sickness compared to practically no morning sickness. Gained a lot less weight (12 lbs total)
No worries since I had been through an easy labor before - and had an even easier labor with the 2nd.

Re: Since there have been a bunch of questions about 2nd babies, I have one....
Both of min e were rough.. but it is hard to compare because thie 1st was a singleton and the 2nd was twins.. 2nd was def worse.. i had really bad MS and then had a sromach virus.. the only positive was that i did not gain the weight like I did with the first...
