How did your first pregnancy compare to second?

All around how did it compare? Did you find it was similar in how things went, as far as symptoms and all of that? How about after? I only gained 25 pounds and literally lost all of it within 5 days of having my son. I also had no belly afterwards, where I have seen some people who still look pregnant afterwards. I'm just wondering if your stomach was completely gone after your first, if that happened for you for your second. I have a wedding to be in a month after I potentially have a baby, if my attempt to get pregnant worked this month (fingers crossed)!

    All the symptoms of my first pregnancy were magnified with the second. I got the hip pain way earlier, nauseous the whole time. Yeah it sucked a lot. I didn't have much time between pregnancies so I don't really remember my stomach being this bad. I'm pretty overweight, but I lost all the baby weight in like two weeks. My stomach hangs now.

    I found my 2nd a million times easier. I think it may have partly been due to circumstance-I was working a full time job while pregnant with my first, but I only worked part time with my second. Combine that with an infant that was napping 3+ times a day throughout the majority of my pregnancy, and that meant I got 2 naps a day. :)

    With my first, I had round ligament pain starting at 8 weeks and lasting to the day I gave birth. I had none of that with my 2nd.

    I also lost the weight really quick-I gained 30lbs, but lost 22lbs in the hospital (I had a 10lb baby!). My stomach shrank quickly. Wasnt so lucky the second time around, unfortunately. I gained 20lbs, lost 12lbs in the hospital. The rest of the weight did come off quickly again, but my stomach looked a whole lot worse. :(

    GL!

    With my first it was a breeze in the beginning. No morning sickness, just nausea which went away early on. I did have round ligament pain, pelvic pain and ptl and Pre E.

    My second I had MS until 36 weeks pelvic pain, round lig pain, ctx start at 29weeks again wicked allergies horrible immune system he also kept flipping around from breach to heads down to transverse to heads down

    Labor and delivery for both were quick though under 4 hours with my 1st  and with my second under 3 hours.

    Are you concerned about the pregnancy or the weight?

    My pregnancies were completely different. I was super sick with DS, in & out of the hospital & had a terrible recovery.

    DD was a breeze. & recovery was even breezier.

    Weight came off pretty fast with #1,  just a different shape of course with that new belly.

    Weight with #2 is still hanging on. My belly is yuck & even though I go-go-go with the kids all day, I just cant seem to get this weight off.
