My third has been much better so far, knock on wood! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-2nd-pregnancy#post-1332540 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 18:30:46 +0000 Running Elley 1332540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine were about the same and pretty mild. However, the end of the second was very very difficult because of how hard it was to keep up with my toddler. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-2nd-pregnancy#post-1332528 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 18:28:48 +0000 Andrea 1332528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Harder. I was swollen! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-2nd-pregnancy#post-1332118 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 16:48:02 +0000 HLK208 1332118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Second was really, really hard. I was miserable the whole time! I do think the third time has been a little easier though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-2nd-pregnancy#post-1332106 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 16:45:33 +0000 BoogieBea 1332106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everything was about the same. But I didn't have time to worry about the symptoms running after a toddler - so the distraction helped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-2nd-pregnancy#post-1332079 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 16:41:49 +0000 Rubies 1332079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Second pregnancy was much harder. Labour and delivery was harder (no epidural) but much shorter (1.5 hours). Recovery was much better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-2nd-pregnancy#post-1332071 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 16:40:02 +0000 heffalump 1332071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Second pregnancy and labor were way harder then my first. If my first were like this one.... I wouldn't have had a second. But she was worth it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-2nd-pregnancy#post-1332053 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 16:37:08 +0000 Ree723 1332053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty similar! First pregnancy was easy peasy with no discomforts (other than heartburn) and a super easy (medicated) labour. I'm 36.5 weeks with #2 now and it's still pretty easy. I get a lot of BH now (had none last time) and find it harder to carry my 18 month old for extended periods of time, but other than that, it's been pretty easy! Also, the time has flown by and I can't believe we'll have another baby any day now!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-2nd-pregnancy#post-1332006 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 16:26:48 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1332006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They were about the same! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-2nd-pregnancy#post-1331943 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 16:12:36 +0000 yin 1331943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Soooo much easier. Almost makes me want to be pregnant again. Haha. The worst part was having to deal with doctors for my GD. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-2nd-pregnancy#post-1331909 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 16:05:03 +0000 coopsmama 1331909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm only 14.5 weeks in but I can already tell this pregnancy has been a lot harder on me physically but tbh that's probably partially my own dang fault. With LO1 to take care of, good nutrition and lots of water haven't exactly been a priority. And of course, there's the lack of rest that comes along with DS too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-2nd-pregnancy#post-1331866 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 15:56:44 +0000 Alivoo01 1331866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: I'm worried about this also as I hear the "norm" is to expect the complete opposite! I had a great pregnancy and a delivery with zero complaints. I don't want a hard pregnancy and a crazy labor/delivery with #2!!! Ahhhh!! </p> <p>@cheesetomywhine: gives me some hope that I <i>might</i> luck out and duplicate my 1st pregnancy!! Keeping my fingers crossed and holding my breath! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-2nd-pregnancy#post-1331852 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 15:53:58 +0000 oscarthegoon 1331852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first pregnancy was so much easier than this one. I was surprised to have so much more nausea for much longer and to feel so exhausted all the time with this one. I guess I'm a few years older and now I have a LO to chase after at home after work, whereas the first time around I could rest a lot more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-2nd-pregnancy#post-1331821 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 15:48:43 +0000 autumnlove 1331821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Easier but I had GD so I was forced to eat better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-2nd-pregnancy#post-1331802 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 15:43:38 +0000 chopsuey 1331802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>they were about the same until my last trimester!<br /> 2nd was harder on my body. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-2nd-pregnancy#post-1331698 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 15:19:55 +0000 Mamasig 1331698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far at 20 weeks it has been WAY easier. People have even mentioned how different I seem this time (in a good way). </p> <p>I didn't have any complications with my 1st pregnancy - it was just hard. I had a lot of pain and discomfort. I was tired, swollen, physically kind of beat down. I would see other pregnant women waltzing around and wondered how they did it. With this pregnancy, I literally sometimes forget I am pregnant. So glad this has been easier since I now have a toddler to take care of. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-2nd-pregnancy#post-1331696 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 15:19:26 +0000 cheesetomywhine 1331696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The same! I have been lucky with easy pregnancies both times. I am still pregnant with the second but thus far it has been the same :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-2nd-pregnancy#post-1331672 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 15:16:36 +0000 Beebug 1331672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Easier, way way way easier!</p> <p>Edited to add. It is crazy to me how pregnancies can be so different. I had heard that before, but don't think I realized how different things could be. It's very cool, even cooler if we end up having another girl, I am thinking boy by default just based on how opposite the pregnancies are. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-2nd-pregnancy#post-1331627 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 15:10:29 +0000 mrsjyw 1331627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>easier than your first?</p> <p>As we near talks about plans for TTC #2, I have a load of worries/questions on my mind from time to time.</p> <p>I had an average pregnancy with no problems and an average delivery with no regrets about any of it. But, I do remember not enjoying many, many symptoms of pregnancy! :P</p> <p>Was it easier or harder the second time? </p>
