i had more difficulty in my second pregnancy. i always felt sick and sleepy unlike the first one where i was very active as if i was not pregnant. i don't know if this has something to do with the gender of the baby, my eldest is a girl and my second a boy.

I had more vomitting and giddiness for second pregnancy. Moreover usually people say that stomach will be big for a girl child. I do'nt know whether it is true or not but it was big for my second pregnancy and stomach came down also. Hence I had problem for walking, doing house work and also sleeping. However delivery suffering time was reduced. For the first delivery, it took 12 hours for the baby to come out where as for second one it took 5 hours.

I think my second was easier because I knew what was going on with my body. My delivery was SOOOO much quicker and easier the second time as well! Now, my third (which I'm going through now) is very different. I've been sicker more and have had a lot worse headaches than before.

My second was way worse then my first!! With my daughter I didn't have any prroblems, besides getting huge. But with my son I was sick ALL the time, it was miserable!! And my feet swelled up and I was hige again =) So no for me the second time around was harder.

for obvious reasons, i don't know what it felt like to be pregnant. however, i do have a wife and we are going to have our second child. according to her, the 1st pregnancy is much easier than her current (2nd) pregnancy.
