For moms of more than one.. was recovery easier the second time?

Question

Answer

Very curious about this as well.
I have heard it should be easier in some ways. But the contractions that comes afterwards should be worse and I'm a bit afraid of those 🙈

Answer

Okay so recovery itself was way easier and faster for me, but the contractions after were a million times worse.

Answer

After voting easier I want to add. For me personally recovery was 10X easier because I didn’t tear. Unlike with my first I had a 3rd degree year which took over 2 hours of stitching. The only thing for me that was worse with my 2nd was the uterus contracting pains every time I’d nurse.

Answer

I’m only pregnant with the second but due to the unmediated natural tub birth with our first, I felt completely normal and back to my usual self 24 hrs after her birth. This next time, (assuming we don’t run into complications), I’ll be chasing a toddler around while recovering so I assume it may take longer. 🤷‍♀️

Answer

Momma of 4 🙋‍♀️here and let me just say . It all depends how delivery goes. If you rip really bad or end up having a c section. I can say I delivered each kid vaginal and each recovery was different with my first and 3rd I was up and moving right after but with my 2nd and 4th I was more sore after and needed more recovery time .

Answer

Easier.  I had a csection the first time an vaginal the second
