I gained less weight with baby 2, but OMG. Homey totally wrecked this body of mine.
-I didn't get stretch marks (red ones) with my 1st. I have angry red ones on my belly from #2. -.-
-My tummy skin is looser
-I can crack/pop my vag bone -.-

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.

@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.

@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!
@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!

Yes! My body is so weirdly shaped now and I'm having a really hard time bouncing back from it.

pop your vag bone... that's insane!!
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.

@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!

@chopsuey119: OMG those last couple months everytime I would turn over in bed it would pop! Seriously stunk!

#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.

#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.

2nd pregnancy sucked! 1st one was easy. I am still swollen and have bad carpal tunnel.

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!

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?

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.

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?
Yikes.

Two was SO hard. The pressure was constant from 20+ weeks and I never had energy. My body is back to normal though.

@Mrs. Bee: almost exactly me! 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.
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.
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.
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.
