Experience does make you wiser but at times, it’s not necessary that every time is the same. Especially, in case of motherhood and pregnancy, it could be different the second time around. Let’s see how.
How will my second pregnancy be different than the first?
Every pregnancy is unique and different. You can’t really predict anything about how each pregnancy will turn out to be. But there surely could be some symptoms that are different than your first one. For example, there would be a visibly grown baby bump and the movements of your baby also start earlier than the first pregnancy.
It’s also possible that you did not know what nausea is when you were expecting your first baby. But this time around, you get morning sickness almost every day. You must also remember that you might get more tired and feel some aches and pains and mood swings.
So, let’s see what all you should be prepared for in your second pregnancy:
Baby Bump is more visible: Your elders like your mom-in-law or mom would be telling you to expect some early symptoms and signs in your second pregnancy. Give attention to that advice, as they might be right. The first most significant symptom is your growing belly or the visible baby bump. As you’ve had one baby already, your abdomen muscles are now loose or weaker as compared to the last pregnancy. Because of this the baby bump starts to show earlier this time – may be a month earlier than before. So, may be your baby bump was visible after 18-19 weeks in your first pregnancy, but during the second one, you might see your belly grow to that size in 14 weeks only.
Nausea and Morning Sickness: Another sign or symptom of your second pregnancy is the giddy feeling you get every morning; yes, it’s the morning sickness. There are many hormonal changes that happen in your body when you are pregnant. These changes cause nausea and vomiting after the first month of your conception. But there’s good news – mostly these symptoms go away after 16 to 20 weeks. Typically, about 50 percent of pregnant women have nausea and vomiting only during the first trimester but almost 80 percent or more, feel morning sickness and nausea during their pregnancy – especially the second one.
