I got bad tendonitis with Wagon Jr. but almost nothing this time around. And I gained much less weight the second time (thanks GD diet) so I lost it much quicker. </p> <p>Stretch marks - I got em early, often, and REALLY BAD with Wagon Jr. By the end they were reddish purple and ANGRY looking. and DEEP too. So even after they finally faded to white (about a year or two PP) they were still pretty evident because of the depth. Basically my entire lower belly's skin is just destroyed. I don't think I have a single square millimeter that DOESN'T have stretch mark damage. :( I guess I'm just glad that it's only on the belly and not on my thighs or back or boobs.</p> <p>With the second pregnancy, I only got a couple of additional small stretch marks. Everything else just stretched out like it was before, and this time it was white instead of reddish purple, so it was actually not bad at all. And after my belly went down the marks stayed white too. </p> <p>My delivery with LMW was so much easier than WJ (3 hrs of pushing with #1, just 15 mins with #2) so recovery was a lot easier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-was-pregnancy-2-harder-on-your-body#post-512918 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 11:07:35 +0000 HLK208 512918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Two was SO hard. The pressure was constant from 20+ weeks and I never had energy. My body is back to normal though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-was-pregnancy-2-harder-on-your-body#post-512853 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 10:42:38 +0000 meredithNYC 512853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>WHOA, WHOA, WHOA re: the vag bone. I had no idea this could happen! I am scared now. What are the chances it will ever go back to normal?</p> <p>Yikes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-was-pregnancy-2-harder-on-your-body#post-512848 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 10:38:22 +0000 Honeybee 512848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My second pregnancy was much harder with #2, mostly because DS was almost a pound bigger than his sister, so i gained more weight. And my body will never be the same after two kids. Sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-was-pregnancy-2-harder-on-your-body#post-512600 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 09:24:28 +0000 Rock n Roll 512600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My second was actually easier, but I am having a much harder time losing my baby weight this time. I think it's because I have NO motivation to lose it since I plan on getting pregnant again next year. Why lose it all and have to do it again? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-was-pregnancy-2-harder-on-your-body#post-512548 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 09:01:00 +0000 MamaBehr 512548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>second one was MUCH harder and the damage left by him is immense! I can't get over the flappy skin, almost 11 months after delivery, and he was SMALLER than DD. So, who knows how that happened! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-was-pregnancy-2-harder-on-your-body#post-512375 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 04:30:58 +0000 Andrea 512375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2nd pregnancy sucked! 1st one was easy. I am still swollen and have bad carpal tunnel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-was-pregnancy-2-harder-on-your-body#post-511965 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 21:49:57 +0000 T-Mom 511965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>#2 was better for me physically and i think its because I was in great shape, and I was not for #1. Emotionally though it was a different story. Oy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-was-pregnancy-2-harder-on-your-body#post-511889 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 21:35:50 +0000 Mrs. Bee 511889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>#2 was waaaaaay easier for me because i gained half as much weight. i had really bad carpal tunnel with charlie that i didn't get with olive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-was-pregnancy-2-harder-on-your-body#post-511879 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 21:33:07 +0000 chopsuey 511879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: I just popped mine now!<br /> I just need to flex my thighs together and POP!

Seriously stunk! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-was-pregnancy-2-harder-on-your-body#post-511864 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 21:30:17 +0000 prettylizy 511864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: I remember that feeling!!! DH thought I was nuts, but the worst for me was getting out of bed after sleeping for a while, it would take me like 5 minutes to go from laying down to standing. Man, I don't miss that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-was-pregnancy-2-harder-on-your-body#post-511858 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 21:29:25 +0000 Mrs. Pen 511858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>pop your vag bone... that's insane!!</p> <p>I always heard that you get stretch marks with #1, not #2! Well I already have so many so I guess it can't get much worse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-was-pregnancy-2-harder-on-your-body#post-511842 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 21:26:08 +0000 Mrs.B 511842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! My body is so weirdly shaped now and I'm having a really hard time bouncing back from it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-was-pregnancy-2-harder-on-your-body#post-511832 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 21:24:11 +0000 chopsuey 511832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: I hope your 2nd pregnancy is easier than mine! I was in so much pain the last few months! My freaking vag bone hurt so much I had a hard time getting out of bed and walking to the bathroom! </p> <p>@Bao: lol you have no idea how happy I am that we're done. hopefully your 2nd pregnancy won't be as painful as mine was! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-was-pregnancy-2-harder-on-your-body#post-511831 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 21:24:09 +0000 runsyellowlites 511831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: Yes! It was alot harder on my pelvis and I too can now pop my vag bone. Thankfully I didn't get worse stretch marks this time though... I already had lots so that would've made me sad to get more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-was-pregnancy-2-harder-on-your-body#post-511824 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 21:23:29 +0000 ladyfingers 511824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: #3 sounds like a great party trick! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-was-pregnancy-2-harder-on-your-body#post-511818 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 21:21:42 +0000 prettylizy 511818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>dude... I thought #1 was going to destroy my vag bone while she was in there.... I don't want to imagine what a second would do to it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-was-pregnancy-2-harder-on-your-body#post-511813 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 21:20:26 +0000 Bao 511813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: oh great, something for me to look forward to in the future. sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-was-pregnancy-2-harder-on-your-body#post-511804 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 21:19:16 +0000 chopsuey 511804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gained less weight with baby 2, but OMG.
