Were you a precious first-time mum? How did the second pregnancy differ? Here are 10 things that are the “real” difference between first and second pregnancy:
#1. Reading books
1st Pregnancy: You read every pregnancy book you can lay your hands on.
2nd Pregnancy: You read zero pregnancy books as you don’t have time to read.
#2. Keeping track
1st Pregnancy: You keep track down to the day of where you are in your pregnancy and take baby bump photos every day.
2nd Pregnancy: You keep track down to the hour of your due date: “Get me into the labour suite”.
#3. Showing
1st Pregnancy: You delight in your expanding tummy and take pride in your waistline.
2nd Pregnancy: “Oh no I’m starting to show and I’m only 2 weeks pregnant”.

#4. Eating
1st Pregnancy: You eat healthily and very carefully avoiding all the caffeine, alcohol, cheese, etc.
2nd Pregnancy: “Make mine a tuna sandwich and double espresso”.
#5. Clothes
1st Pregnancy: You make a concerted effort with maternity clothes buying cute outfits and wearing heels.
2nd Pregnancy: You live in yoga pants and your slip on shoes. (or you are still wearing last time’s maternity trousers as they are just so darned comfy).
