Ask anyone and they will lecture you how things get easier, smoother and faster the second time around. While this may hold true for many things like job interviews, exams, dating, doing DIYs, submitting guests posts and others, this certainly does not hold any ground for pregnancy.
Does carrying a baby get easier with second time? Hell! No! Forget the gentlewoman who said so, I tell you how the second pregnancy (and the subsequent ones) can get harder than the first time.
- It feels worse than the first time because you begin to expect things
First pregnancy is, well, special only because you do not know what the heck it brings along. Initial baby movements are mistaken as mild cramps and half of the times you fail to notice the first kick. But second time around, you anxiously wait for the movement and the kick. So much so, that any gastric indigestion also hints at the baby crawling inside and this only leads to confusion and nothing else.
- You hate anyone who gives you advice
During the first pregnancy you actually do listen to the wise women around simply because you are inexperienced while they are experienced. But this time, anyone who tries to give you a simple piece of advice deserves the don’t-mess-with-me look.
The only respite second time around is that you feel more attached to your first one because you know that after a few days it won’t be just the two of you. You know that her fair share of love will be brutally and honestly divided. You know that after the arrival of the second one, the first one will suddenly be the elder one.
