Here's a list of things to keep in mind about having your second child:
1. Don't worry too much about time when deciding to have a second child
No doubt most moms can agree when I say that your first baby's schedule is not going according to your plan. You may recall, "I'm going to have my first baby when I'm .... years old, and I'll have my second baby when he is ... years old".
Well, that's not what things usually work in the real world. So for mental's sake, there's no need to adhere to schedules or try to meet deadlines to have planned kids. There is no perfect time for a first baby to be born, and no perfect time for a second baby. When you're ready, you're ready!
2. The second pregnancy is very different
There are some notable differences between your first pregnancy and your second pregnancy. When you are pregnant with your first baby , it seems like you have a lot to learn and look forward to. Now that you've experienced this before, you may feel a bit more familiar with the situation. In addition, now that you are a mother, you only have to deal with the struggles of pregnancy, but also manageable for your first baby. These challenges may be bigger this time around, but as you get more experience some aspects of getting pregnant may be easier.
That's not all that will change. You may also find that you are much more likely to give birth sooner than your first pregnancy. But as everyone has said, "no two pregnancies are the same". Having a second baby will also bring you many memorable experiences during pregnancy.
3. When you have a second baby, of course you will worry about your first baby
You are preparing a second child, unlike your first child, every letter will be very worried about the birth. However, you always have concerns around the feelings of your first child. You may be anxious about explaining there is a newborn, saying goodbye to a spoiled one just because the baby is the first.
These troubles and worries are all in your mind. Don't worry, everything will be fine and your family will be happier and more loving than ever when the number two comes!
4. You have had pregnancy & childbirth experience
As mentioned earlier, you should have gained a bit of experience in the area of pregnancy . So, never doubt yourself. This isn't your first baby, and you know what's going to happen on your body. Sure, nothing really will be like your first pregnancy, but you've gone through all of this before, and now you can say you're a seasoned veteran. .
Getting pregnant is never easy, but you'll find that you've grown and matured since your first pregnancy.
5. The process of having a second baby will be much faster
This is good news for most mothers, and for many it is true! Know that your second baby will become smoother and quicker during this time. It is still a birthing process but at least you can expect a little easier this second time!
