Is having a second baby the same as having a first baby?

Pregnancy symptoms have no direct relationship with the number of babies. Pregnancy with a second child may be difficult because the pregnant woman is physically weak or her body has not recovered after giving birth to the first baby. Pregnancy discomfort mainly refers to a series of physical and psychological changes such as nausea, breast tenderness, fatigue, abnormal mood, drowsiness or insomnia, dizziness, etc., which are all caused by changes in hormone levels after pregnancy. Generally speaking, these discomforts will only appear in the first few weeks of pregnancy. Generally, the symptoms will be relieved after 6 weeks and disappear around 12 weeks, so expectant mothers do not need to worry too much.

Nausea in early pregnancy may be related to mental and psychological changes that cause autonomic nervous system disorders. Therefore, expectant mothers are advised to "relax" because emotions are closely related to the body's functional reactions. However, if you vomit a lot and cannot eat or drink (such as vomiting more than 6 times a day), you should go to the hospital for treatment without delay.

The difference between having a second child and a first child

The symptoms of having a second child are roughly the same as those of having a first child. At about 6 weeks of pregnancy, expectant mothers may begin to feel a series of reactions such as nausea and vomiting, headaches, fatigue, loss of appetite, breast tenderness, etc. These early pregnancy symptoms are collectively referred to as early pregnancy reactions. There are many changes in a woman's body after pregnancy, which can be said to be obvious from head to toe. In addition to the above early pregnancy reactions, expectant mothers' eyes are prone to edema and congestion; the head often feels dizzy and painful; pregnancy spots and stretch marks appear on the skin; the rectus abdominis separates; hair grows vigorously; breasts gain weight and droop; neck, waist and back pain; hand edema; hips become wider and thicker; legs have varicose veins, etc.

4 differences between having one and two babies

First point: Physical fatigue is easy to occur, and one cannot do what one wants

When I was pregnant with my first child, although I also had bleeding, my physical strength was obviously much better. I just didn't dare to go out to play at that time. When I really went out to play, I was still able to walk. When I was pregnant with my first child, although my progesterone was also low, I didn't feel uncomfortable all over. But after I got pregnant with my second child, my physical strength was obviously not good enough. It seems that I have to rest for a while after doing something, otherwise I will feel very tired and my back will ache. If I walk a lot, my legs will be very sore. Therefore, I have to make sure to take a lunch break to replenish my physical strength. Especially in the first three months, I felt very uncomfortable all over my body, and I always felt restless when I slept. It seems that my hormones are seriously imbalanced. Of course, it is true that both progesterone and progesterone are low. I have been bleeding for nearly a month and need injections and medication to supplement hormones.

Second point: The appetite is much bigger and you get hungry quickly

When I was pregnant with my first child, I had no appetite in the first three months. Apart from drinking maternity milk powder and eating fruits, I felt that I had little appetite for meals. I even thought that this was how pregnant women should be. As a result, I often woke up hungry in the middle of the night to look for food, and the only thing I could eat was maternity milk powder. Therefore, after three months, my weight increased by more than 10 kilograms. It can be seen that maternity milk powder has a fattening effect.

Even before I knew I was pregnant with my second child, I felt my appetite grow a lot. I ate a lot in the morning, but I was so hungry before noon that I felt dizzy. One morning, I ate 2 bowls of porridge, 6 steamed dumplings, and 2 bowls of soy milk around 8 o'clock. Around 10 o'clock, I started looking for food again. Although I felt nauseous and vomited, I deeply realized that eating a proper meal was the right thing to do. Therefore, when I couldn't eat, I would think of various ways. For example, I would eat sour grapes with rice, and a bowl of rice would go down my stomach. Although you can't eat too much fermented bean curd, when you have no appetite at all, you might as well have a small piece to ensure that your appetite increases greatly.

The third point: more mature psychology and more stable mentality

When I was pregnant with my first child, I was afraid to do anything because of the bleeding. I even gave up my job and lay in bed every day. I felt extremely depressed when I had a little bleeding. I also needed to take injections to maintain pregnancy because of low progesterone. Although I took the injections every day, I was always afraid of side effects. The direct consequence was that I was severely depressed in the first three months of pregnancy, which was very unfavorable for prenatal education.

Although I encountered more problems when I was pregnant with my second child, I became more mature and my mentality became more stable. I continued to work and completed the things I needed to do. For example, when I had bleeding, I immediately asked the doctor to preserve the fetus. I often rode an electric car to work and climbed the stairs every day when I lived on the 5th floor. Of course, the principle was to drive slowly when riding an electric car and walk slowly when climbing the stairs.

Fourth point: One baby and two babies should be educated and taught before pregnancy

When I was pregnant with my first child, I often talked to my belly, but after all, there was a lack of atmosphere. Even though I knew the importance of prenatal education, I still couldn't tell stories to the baby in my belly every day. Now it's different. I tell stories to my first child every day, and naturally, my second child also follows the "prenatal education". When my first baby lies on my belly and listens to my second baby, I feel very warm. When my first baby is playing with toys, he often thinks of leaving a piece for my second baby. This kind of blood relationship is really warm and romantic.
