We are thinking about second baby and everyone keeps telling me it happens faster the second time. Is that actually true or just a thing people say? curious to know ur experiences.
My doctor told me that after a successful pregnancy, the blood circulation to the uterus remains improved, and the uterus is more receptive. Also, couples are usually much more relaxed and less anxious about the whole process compared to the first time, which keeps cortisol levels low and helps conception.
Probably because we are too exhausted chasing the first toddler to actually overthink and stress about conceiving! Seriously though, my body was already in 'baby mode' so it happened much faster this time. Now I'm in my third trimester wondering how I'll manage two of them!
My fertility specialist at the hospital explained that maternal age and post-pregnancy recovery play huge roles in conceiving again. You should definitely consult your hospital's family planning team to get a clear picture based on your personal health history.
Even though I had a C-section and my body took a lot of time to recover, we conceived the second time quite smoothly. I think knowing what to expect physically and being mentally prepared helps the body relax. Just make sure your doctor confirms your body has healed well before trying.
