This is my second one and matlab everything feels more tiring than the first time, kamar and legs already paining. Running after my elder one bhi is a lot. Is it really tougher the second time or just me?
I panicked so much in my second pregnancy because I felt way more tired and had worse morning sickness than the first time. But my doctor assured me it's totally normal because every pregnancy is unique and our bodies are older now. It gets better, just hang in there!
In my experience, my second pregnancy had way more backache and fatigue than the first one. I think it was simply because I was constantly lifting my toddler and didn't get any time to lie down during the day. It's tough, but you will get through it!
Second pregnancy often feels harder because your body hasn't fully recovered from the first one, plus you have endless household and parenting responsibilities now. Make sure you are taking your vitamins regularly and prioritizing your sleep whenever your first child is resting.
I recently had a C-section and managing recovery while thinking of a second one sounds so tough because the body needs time to heal internally. If you had a previous C-section, the scar tissue can also make the second pregnancy feel different or more tight. Just go very easy on yourself.
Let's be practical, it's harder because you already have a first child to run after this time! During the first pregnancy, you could sleep whenever you wanted, but now there is zero rest. Keep your expectations realistic and ask your family for help.
I have only one baby right now, but even thinking about a second one makes me feel so overwhelmed. I felt so exhausted with just one, and I can only imagine how hard it must be to manage pregnancy sickness while taking care of a toddler. Huge respect to all moms doing this!
As a mom of two, I can tell you it's 100% because of the toddler fatigue! Your pelvic muscles are also more relaxed from the first time, so you feel the baby's weight much earlier. Get your partner to pitch in more with the elder kid, you need your rest.
Beta, with the second one, your body is already tired from earlier. Make sure you take a gentle warm oil massage for your back and drink ginger water for nausea. Don't lift heavy things, and ask your MIL or mother to help with the older child so you can rest.
