Is a second pregnancy easier than the first?

Question

I know all pregnancies are different but from your experiences was the second one easier? Maybe because your body has already been through it? I’m thinking of a second baby but my first pregnancy was brutal. Cramps, puking, headaches, heartburn, basically bedridden and then I had a pretty hard delivery too...just wondering if I should expect around the same type of pregnancy or if anyone has noticed the second one being easier.

Answer

Second one is harder in that I have a toddler to take care of.

Answer

This one is harder. Two years and a toddler make a huge difference. More pains, no naps, and carrying around a 2 year old all the time!

Answer

My second is so hard I’m in so much pain all the time and my morning sickness was way worse both boys

Answer

I’ve had 4 children and all of my pregnancies were different. With my first I had sore boobs and fatigue like you wouldn’t believe. My second I had nausea and vomiting where I didn’t at all with my first. My third was easy all the way around. My 4th my bobs hurt all the way into my third trimester and I had a lot of pelvic pain that I never had with the first 3. So they can all be different!

Answer

My pregnancies were similar, but I’m way more tired. I’m 2 yrs older and chasing my 3 year old around.

Answer

Both of my pregnancies were pretty easy. But I definitely felt more aches and pains with my second!

Answer

This one has been harder this time. But my first one wasn’t easy either

Answer

Every pregnancy can be different. I’m in week 13 of my second pregnancy, and they’ve been fairly similar, but my nausea was worse the second time. I also am battling hives this time. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I still have a long way to go, though.

Answer

Depends on the person. Both of mine were super easy

Answer

Like you said everyone is different. Some people have it bad every time their pregnant some have a different experience with each pregnancy.
