Will the second child be born earlier? Will the second child be born earlier or later?

Regarding having a second child, many pregnant mothers will hear some experiences shared by mothers who have given birth to a second child. Some people say that the second child will be born in advance. Today, the editor will answer this question for you.

Will the second child be born early?

Generally speaking, whether it is the first or second child, the birth of a child will not be born until the fetus itself develops to maturity. So in principle, the second child will not be born early. However, it is not ruled out that due to individual differences, or due to factors such as emotional excitement, the delivery period will be advanced. Of course, most women also said that the birth of the second child may feel smoother than the first, and the delivery process may be shorter than the first. However, not all women will give birth to the second child faster than the first. It should be said that the mother's own physical condition, the development of the fetus, etc. will affect the delivery process.

It is generally recommended that if women plan to have a second child, it is best to do so before the age of 35, because women's fertility will decline after the age of 35 and the chance of fetal developmental abnormalities will greatly increase.

In addition, many mothers may use an IUD for contraception after giving birth to their first child. If they plan to have a second child, it is best to remove the IUD six months in advance. During this six months, you can choose condoms for contraception.

When to have a second child depends on the birth method of the first child. If it is a normal birth, it is best to wait one year after the birth before planning to have a second child. Generally speaking, if the interval between two children is less than 18 months or more than 5 years, the chance of premature birth of the second child will increase relatively. Therefore, it is recommended that if you want to have a second child, the time should be set during this period.

Second child birth instructions

Whether it is the first or second pregnancy, the three signs of labor are the same: paroxysmal regular uterine contractions; a small amount of vaginal bleeding; and sometimes vaginal discharge, which is "premature rupture of membranes." However, the second pregnancy may progress faster after entering labor, so if you find signs of labor, you should go to the hospital in time.

If there are signs of labor, you should go to the hospital in time. First of all, you should look at the interval between the first and second births. If they are close, especially within three years, you should pay attention. In addition, it depends on the individual. If the bone birth canal conditions are relatively good, the soft birth canal conditions are relatively ideal, the fetus is of appropriate size, and the body condition is relatively good, the second birth may be smoother than the first, that is, the labor process will be shorter. In this way, if the second birth has signs of labor, you should go to the hospital in time to avoid untimely treatment due to the short labor process, which will affect the fetus and the adult.

How to comfort the second child

1. Before having a second child, you should guide the first child to accept his younger siblings

Telling the older child how the baby was born can reduce the child's anxiety and is also a good life education. You can tell him that "the baby will drill a hole in the mother's belly by itself." This explains why the mother's body becomes weak and correctly explains how the baby is born.

2. Let the eldest child participate in all preparations for welcoming the new baby

Children are most afraid of being ignored by their parents, so parents should let the older child participate when naming their younger brother or sister or preparing items, such as asking the older child to help the younger brother or sister choose a nickname, or asking the older child to sort out the small clothes he or she has worn, etc. This is a way to respect the older child, and the older child will also feel excited and full of expectations for becoming a brother or sister.

3. Take Dabao to see a friend’s newborn baby

If the eldest child is a girl, she will have a natural "maternal instinct" and when she sees the babies in her friends' homes, she will unconsciously like them: What a cute little baby! Then you will carefully touch their little hands and feet to inspire her to take care of her younger brothers and sisters.

4. Instill this concept in Dabao

"You'll have a younger brother or sister soon, and you'll become a strong brother (sister) who can protect him and won't be bullied by others!" "Other families don't have sisters, but we have one. She'll follow you like a follower and proudly say that your brother (sister) is the best!" These words are very contagious and can not only make Dabao realize the benefits of having a younger sister, but also arouse his/her desire to protect her as an older brother or sister.
