The second pregnancy different from the first?

Often

second pregnancy different from the first, milder or harder.Doctors advise pregnant for the second time in 2-5 years after the first delivery, to give the body a chance to recover from the first test.

However, what is usually different from the first second pregnancy?

differences from the first second pregnancy:

1. Most often, for the second time before noticeable growing belly, because after the first childbirth the uterus remains somewhat enlarged.

2. Sometimes a second child starts to move before the first - not the fifth, and by the fourth month, for example.Perhaps this is due to the fact that acquired the first experience of the mother is easier to discern the faint tremors fetus.

3. The first pregnancy and childbirth weaken the abdominal muscles and ligaments - they no longer support the fetus as well, hence the stomach for a second time can be located below.Therefore, pregnant for the second time to breathe more easily, and they can be fewer problems with digestion, due to reduce the pressure on the stomach.

However, for the same reason may increase pressure on the bladder, back and waist.There are special exercises to help pregnant and wearing a brace after 20 weeks (for those who have problems with veins on the legs, and leg braces are recommended).

pregnant for the second time are advised not to lift heavy objects, do not bend your back backwards, slightly bend your knees in a standing position (if you want to stand for a long time), sitting putting feet on some eminence, and lying on your side, bend your knees or put between the legs pillow.

4. In the second pregnancy have a lot of time on the first child, especially if it is small.Doctors recommend expectant mother not to make her first child, and not to take him in my arms, accustomed to greater autonomy (for example, to teach himself to climb on a chair, sofa, in bed or on the lap of her mother).When it is still necessary to raise a child, you can not bend down, better to sit down with your knees bent and keeping your back straight.

5. Despite all the difficulties of pregnancy, childbirth and the second bout usually go faster and easier than the first.In the second birth the first battle often generic, and disclosure of the uterus occurs dynamically.

However, the second time may be "false labor", which take place when changing the position of the body, and it is important to be able to distinguish them from the real battles going on anyway.
