Answer

I’ve found my 2nd pregnancy to be much harder than my first. My first was like a dream, with that pregnancy glow & everything.
This time around I’ve been miserable since day one, with lots of pains and aches, and my mental health have been shit. I also haven’t bonded in the same way with the baby as I did my first, which is normal because that first time is special - I know I’ll love her just the same when she actually gets here but as of now at 34 weeks I’m just over it and have been since the first trimester.
That being said every pregnancy is different so if you had a horrible first pregnancy your second might be better or vice versa.

Answer

I feel it’s harder then my first . I’ve felt more aches and pains this time . Been more tired and it’s taking all my energy . I do feel it’s going by faster then my first  though . Hoping the last few months go faster as well .

Answer

I've had 5 births and everyone of them was traumatic 🤦‍♀️ you'd think with each one it would get easier, the first 4 were natural, and the 5th was emergency caesarian, I'm currently now 16w with my 6th baby. I think the  shortest labours I had was my 2nd and my 4th.

Answer

Mime has been harder so far. And also born later for sure my son was born at 36 weeks this one will be 38 weeks tomorrow and no signs of coming any time soon. I have lost more weight with this one, suffered severe hyper emisis, WAY more aches and pains especially in my hips. More sleep loss, more tiredness, less active etc. It also feels way longer than my first pregnancy.

Answer

Second pregnancy was harder because I didn’t get to rest as much as my first pregnancy. I was sick with a toddler in the first tri, and then big and uncomfortable with a toddler in the third tri. My hips hurt bad my first pregnancy and then they hurt worse my second pregnancy. 
My labor and delivery was a lot faster though. About 2x faster than my first baby.

Answer

closer your deliveries are the faster they will come. more babies usually mean quicker labors but horrid cramping after. and that is all b.c your body knows what to do. if there is a big gap between babies it could go either way. my babies are 7 years apart. and it was like labor 101 for my body. but I wouldn't say it was more or less painful just knew what to expect out of my body and what I could handle

Answer

When are you due? Its better you not what to expect labor is faster!
