Was your second pregnancy easier or harder?

Question

pregnancy easier or harder?" /> 
So my first pregnancy as well as labor and delivery was terrible, so painful, scary, all you can imagine. I want to so bad have another and my husband is now ready to start trying and I am too but I’m so nervous. 😔😭

Answer

The actual pregnancy was easier because I had GD with my first but existing was harder with my second because I had a toddler to chase around as well.

Answer

My second pregnancy was harder but I feel like it was because of circumstances. Like he wasn’t planned so I felt bamboozled by just being pregnant. Most of my pregnancy was during a snowy winter so I didn’t get to go on long walks like I did with my first and gained more weight. We also desperately needed to find a new place and our lease ended the week of my due date so we actually moved the week before he was born. And worst of all, also the week before he was born I got a terrible terrible sunburn that resulted in blisters. But like symptom severity wise, my pregnancies were pretty identical.

Answer

My first three were all easy and are boys I'm on my fourth with a girl and it's definitely the hardest pregnancy 😩

Answer

My first pregnancy I was only sick for 12 weeks but couldn’t eat like junk or dairy the whole time without being sick. My labor/birth was only 5 hours 2nd/3rd degree tears and in a hospital where I was treated badly that caused trauma that surfaced during my second pregnancy.  My recovery took really long. I bled for months. I ended up having what’s believed to have some nerve damage because I was encountering fetal ejection and they held him inside of me for a doctor to get there. 
Second pregnancy I was sick every single day. I didn’t feel connected to him because I was chasing around a 2 year old. My labor and birth was an hour and 37 mins at home. I even had heavy bleeding that required some intervention. But I was almost done bleeding within a week. Up and back to normal in like 2 days. I’d give birth to him again once a month if I needed to 😂

Answer

I just had my second baby 4 weeks ago. I love being pregnant and that was true with my first and second pregnancy.  That said, I am almost 5 years older this go around and some things were harder.
My morning sickness first trimester sucked both times but I knew to ask for Diclegis so my morning sickness wasnt as bad for as long this time around.
What was harder was the swelling and back pain. I think a lot of that was age related. I also gained more weight this go around and I think that has to do with being older. 
Labor was faster this second time...not necessarily harder or easier (both were uncomplicated deliveries)

Answer

First pregnancy was a breeze and labor was rough
Second pregnancy was awful but the labor was much easier. Recovery was easier other than breastfeeding
Third pregnancy was the worst of the 3, had an E-csection and recovery for that was comparable to normal csections other than them doing the uterus press on my scar since its vertical🤬😭

Answer

1 was very difficult and filled with complications 
2 was easy peasy 
3 was much like the first, just horrendous 
4 hasn’t been easy but not nearly as bad as 1 and 3

Answer

I feel like my second pregnancy was harder just because I’m chasing a two year old around every day 😂

Answer

Definitely harder. I was told that the second would be so smooth and baby would come out flying. I was told wrong. But then again everybody is different and every pregnancy is different. 
With my first she came a week early. I started contracting around noon and had her later that night at 10:23pm. No complications 
My second, well, her placenta erupted at 36 weeks and 6 days, I was admitted in the hospital getting induced for 4 days ( she didn’t want to come out ) and then had to stay for 3 more days because she was early. 
Like I said every time is different and there’s really no telling!!

Answer

Way easier, both the pregnancy and labor. My first was awful. Throwing up every day at least 3 times, which lasted up until the day I had her. And then the labor turned into a nightmare that ended up with a botched spinal block for an emergency c-section where I felt it and was screaming my head off. With my second I just felt a lot of pressure when I walked in the later months. And delivery went smoothly
