According to gynecologist & obstetrician Dr. Nisarg Patel, “Some women may find their second pregnancy easier than their first because they are more familiar with the process and know what to expect. They may also have fewer symptoms of nausea, fatigue, or anxiety. However, other women may find their second pregnancy harder than their first because they must deal with the physical and emotional demands of caring for another child while pregnant. The best way to cope with a second pregnancy is to take good care of yourself and seek support from your partner, family, friends, and healthcare provider.”
