7 things that you do not know differentiated in your second pregnancy from the first
Do you think that pregnancy for the second time will be surprising?In fact, this is a wrong idea, as there are some things that you will discover and enjoy during your second child.
The writer Marcela Cavuli - in the report published by the Spanish magazine "Iris Mama".
Contrary to the common belief, the second pregnancy is not free of discoveries and surprises, but rather it also has its own charm, and it differs in several aspects from the first experience.
1- You feel your pregnancy early
Since you have had this experience earlier, you will be able to sensitize pregnancy and note all indications indicating it.As you have previously passed the problems of nausea, vomiting, and a feeling of stress in the morning, and therefore you will directly buy the pregnancy test, when any delay occurs at the date of the menstrual cycle.
Likewise, the first child, despite the modernity of his age, can notice that physical or behavioral changes occur in his mother when you are pregnant, and some doubts are seen that there is something that changes in it, and that there is an important change about to happen.
2- You notice the emergence of the abdomen early
During the first pregnancy, radical changes occur in the digestive system and lower abdomen, in order to prepare the appropriate space for the growth of the fetus and then birth.Therefore, the second pregnancy does not require significant changes, given that the bones, muscles, cartilage in the abdomen and pelvis are more flexible and wide, and thus you notice the emergence of the abdomen early.
3- You feel the presence of the fetus quickly
Many are the mothers who notice early the first movements of the fetus during their second pregnancy compared to the first pregnancy.This is linked to their previous knowledge of these sensations, or perhaps because of the occurrence of abdominal tissues during the second time.
4- You feel more tired
The entire motherhood experience is stressful for the body and the mind.This problem is exacerbated with hormones and digestive changes, as well as suffering from lack of sleep.
During the second pregnancy, things become more difficult, considering that depriving the mother from sleep during the day and night, and she will have many and long stages that must be passed before you enjoy again a natural sleep.
5- Fears change
Although experience is the most important companion in life, it sometimes may deceive us.As the second pregnancy can awaken some concerns and problems that have emerged during the previous experience, or make us feel guilty.
In any case, the mother must remember that she is responsible for a fetus in her stomach and thus she has to rest her body and take care of herself well.It is also advised to talk to the doctor or close persons, to obtain psychological support and advice.
6- You can distinguish cramps
Whenever she feels cramps in her stomach, the mother wonders if she is nearing the position of her baby.Fortunately, the first experience is learned a lot, and will make it more able to distinguish regular cramps than those that indicate near birth.
Also, the acquired experience enables the mother to reduce the period of contractions that precede the birth, because the cervical area is prepared for this moment, and does not need a long time to expand and bread.
7- You do not have time to specialize for yourself
Motherhood experience is wonderful and beautiful, but it includes some inevitable sacrifices.Among these sacrifices is to allocate part of your time to respond to the desires and needs of children.
In different cultures, societies and families, the birth of a new child means a new change in the life of the parents.Basically, this means reducing the time that the mother allocates to herself, especially since her first child - besides fetus care - also needs attention and care.
