Mom of 2??

Question

I have one daughter who is almost 5. I’m not pregnant, but we have been trying. What were some major differences with you second pregnancy and postpartum (body & fitness wise) with your second. Did your body return to how it was prior, was it harder to get back, or did your body improve?

Answer

It did take me a little longer the second time around but I had a TOTALLY different situation (we lived on our own when baby 1 was born and we moved at 28 weeks with baby2 and lived with husbands parents for a few months after baby 2 was born, and they did not eat the healthiest) pp, I think was actually faster for me the second time around because I had to get up and be moving because I didn’t just have a newborn to snuggle all day, I had a 1 year old that wanted to do things too.

Answer

Got pregnant 6-7 months pp and they were similar but also quite different. I didn’t urinate as much the second as I did in the first, and I had TERRIBLE rage were my husband, the God-sent love of my life, enraged me by just being his self. I also tested positive for gbs second time around and negative the first time. I also went into labor naturally at 39w2d with second as opposed to induced at 42 weeks with first. I had about the same amount of heart burn and very very VERY little nausea with both. 
This third is proving that the pregnancies can and will be all different. This time around I have no real big change in personality or emotion (super angry the second pregnancy and I was SUPER emotional the first) little to no heartburn but constantly exhausted (but I think that also has to do with wrangling two toddlers while 34 weeks pregnant). 
After birth, it is different in the aspects of you only had one tiny to appease but now you have two. My oldest loves helping his little sister but the two of them rough play and fight and my husband and I have to take a conscious effort not to just get onto one over the other. It isn’t a huge change, but it is at the same time. Side note though, I get even more awesome baby kisses and hugs at night! :)

Answer

my first and second are a year and a half apart. but i didnt have any more problems with the fitness and weightloss with my sexond as my first. but my depression was worse with my second.  i cried over everything.  i remember literally weeping putting on finding nemo for my oldest son after my second.

Answer

I’m going through this right now. Had my second baby two months ago and my first is almost 2 yrs old. With my first I went back to what I weight with working out and eating right. Right now I’m kind of struggling to find time to focus on working it and I’m not eating as well as I should because I’m trying to balance taking care of two. It is really hard but I think with your oldest being a little older it might be a little less distracting for you and you might be able to find the time. Honestly my body is not where I want it to be but only because I’m physically exhausted from breastfeeding, cleaning, cooking, and just being a mom lol. It’s hard!
