Re: 2nd pregnancy
First, Congratulations!!!
This is my third, and so far they have all been different in little ways. My MS was different with each. I got CRAZY charlie horses with #1, few with #2, none with this one so far. More swelling with #1. Insomnia with #2. Labor was quicker with #2. And I also went early, where I was late with #1.
Just some examples. Each pregnancy was different. But it was nothing major.

Re: 2nd pregnancy
I'm expecting number 2 as well but I'm very early. So far I notice that I don't have ms which I had with dd, and not as tierd. Hopefully it stays this way.

Re: 2nd pregnancy
I'm pregnant with DD #2, due in December. I had DD #1 in June 2010. Both pregnancies have been relatively easy. I had mild MS with both up until about 12 weeks. But I have indigestion and heartburn much worse this time around.
I'm also a bit bigger with #2 but according to my doctor am still on the "smaller size of average." DD #1 was 6 pounds, 6 ounces. I'm a bit more tired this time as well but I also am chasing after a 16 month old on top of being 31 weeks pregnant.
Good luck!

Re: 2nd pregnancy
I am due with #2 in May. This time around I am more nervous but this pregnancy so far, is easier than my first. I had bad MS the first time around starting at 6 weeks. This time I get some queasiness but not bad at all. I am more tired this time around, but I have a different work sked and a 17 month old, so I am sure that plays into it. At 8w5d my rings are still on. With #1, my hands got swollen early on.

Re: 2nd pregnancy
I'm only 7.5 weeks, but so far the difference is that with pregnancy is that the first time around i didn't have any food issues...nothing grossed me out. I didn't have nausua...i wasn't sensitive to smells...now i have all of that!!!
Maybe its a girl this time...hmm.....

Re: 2nd pregnancy
Congratulations!!!
This is my second also and for the most part, my pregnancies have been very similar. The biggest differences have been that I started showing a LOT earlier this time, and I am more tired but that probably has more to do with the fact that I am chasing around a toddler all day 
Happy and Healthy 9 months!

Re: 2nd pregnancy
My 1st pg was awesome. I was nauseous for about 20 weeks, but only got sick once. Felt great right up until the end when I couldn't get comfortable sleeping and was exhausted.
My 2nd pg I had really bad MS for 28 weeks. Doc wanted to put me on Zofran but I didn't want to go on it. I had pretty bad pelvic pain throughout my pg.
I carried the same with both pregnancies and didn't gain any weight with my 2nd pregnancy. My recovery was also easier with my 2nd c-section than my 1st.

Re: 2nd pregnancy
This is my second pregnancy-- everything seems pretty much the same. Feeling the same, except maybe more tired, carrying the same, etc.
I am a lot less "involved" this time, but still it's just as surreal-- and I worry a lot less about the little things, but worry more about the big things if that makes sense.

Me too! I'm only 4 weeks and my pants are already tight! I thought I was going crazy.
I have a 2 yr old and chasing her around is definitely going to catch up with me.
Thanks!

Oh thanks! That was actually going to be my next question. I was wondering about the recovery time for a 2nd c-section. Good to know!!
Thanks!

Yes that definitely makes a lot of sense. I feel the same way. It is soooo surreal and I will definitely be worrying a lot less this time around. I think I'm more nervous this time. I can't figure out why! Lol
