When you become a mom for the first time, some things may occur that you don’t expect. When you’re pregnant with your second child, you’re a seasoned parent and have a pretty good idea of what’s going to happen. However, dynamics are slightly altered because there’s another child in the picture.
There are ways to prepare yourself, and your firstborn, when a new baby comes along. Plus, there are ways you can save some money the second time around. If you’re expecting baby number two, here are some things to keep in mind.
Your Labor May Be Easier
Some women have a really difficult labor the first time around. But don’t get anxious about the second one because it may be completely different than the first. If you had a natural birth the first time, there was some stretching, so the second labor can be quicker and easier.
After all, your body has already gone through it once before, so it can definitely do it again. It helps to keep your eye on the prize: there’s a great reward waiting for you after you make it through the labor and delivery: a brand new baby boy or girl!
