The difference between the birth of the first and second child

The pain of pregnancy and childbirth is something that every mother can understand, and every mother is great. Many mothers want a second child after giving birth to their first child. So what is the difference between giving birth to the first and second child? In fact, although there will be pain during delivery of the second child, it will not be as painful as the first child. However, you still need to be cautious, do prenatal checkups, seek medical treatment in time, and ensure the safety of mother and child.

1. Will the second pregnancy be as painful as the first?

In terms of labor pains, many mothers who have given birth to a second child have reported that the second natural birth will be very easy because the vagina has been expanded during the first birth.

In terms of the delivery process, the second birth will generally be faster than the first, but the second birth may also have difficult labor, so it depends on the specific situation. In some exceptional cases, the first child is born at the age of 22, and the second child is born at the age of 38. The interval between the two babies is relatively long. Then when the second child is born, the mother has entered the stage of advanced maternal age, and there will still be problems of advanced maternal age. This type of people may not necessarily conceive quickly.

If it is a natural childbirth, the second childbirth will still be painful, but the pain will be much lighter than the first childbirth, and the pain duration will also be shorter. Therefore, there is a reason why natural childbirth is the best way of delivery for mother and baby.

However, some expectant mothers with second children are worried that the baby will be born too quickly. What if they don’t have time to get to the hospital to give birth? Here, the editor reminds expectant mothers with second children that they should first relax before giving birth and not let tension affect the delivery process. As soon as you find out that the baby is in labor, rush to the hospital immediately, go directly to the delivery room to see the doctor, and ask your family to go through the registration procedures to buy time.

2. Will the contractions be more severe when giving birth to a second child?

This varies from person to person. Generally, the uterine contractions are not obvious during the second pregnancy, the abdominal pain symptoms will also be alleviated, and the entire delivery process is much faster than the first pregnancy!

Between 20 and 37 weeks of pregnancy: Frequent uterine contractions can prevent premature birth

About a month before delivery, contractions begin. Some people don’t feel anything at the beginning. Only when they touch their belly with their hands will they feel the contractions, and pregnant mothers will feel that the frequency of contractions is getting higher and higher. If the contractions are not very frequent and there is no abdominal pain, just rest.

If the number of uterine contractions is around 10 per hour, it is considered relatively frequent. You should go to the hospital in time and take some drugs to inhibit uterine contractions under the guidance of a doctor to prevent premature birth.
