How the second child turns out to be a godsend for moms

Many times we address the second child as unplanned and "a mistake". While we all love to tease them and make fun of them little do we know what relief they have been to their moms.

Unlike first timers, the second borns make it easy for the mothers during childbirth. They make the entire journey of pregnancy smoother that moms often do not remember experiencing so much pain during their second birth.

So, if you have recently found out that you conceived for the second time, here are a few anecdotes shared from mothers who had an absolutely pleasant childbirth for their seconds.

Unlike the first time, moms are more experienced during the second birth. The hospital system, the world of childbirth and the facts and myths surrounding a new born baby are all known to the mother. She no longer has to rely on others for everything. She can be on her own this time and what's more self-satisfying than that.

Second, moms do not get anxious about every small thing. With a first hand experience of an earlier childbirth they know what they have to work with, they know which medical process to go through, they understand their choice of doctor, they do not hesitate taking a decision related to changing hospitals or doctors.

After the experience of first child birth, moms get more vocal about their demands and requirements.

During second childbirth, moms already know about the way hospitals operate. Since they are aware of their body, and their pain they tend to demand for better pain management and get better hospital experience.

As someone with experience they also select their doctors with much precision.

During first childbirths moms are mostly young and are not aware of the various changes their body undergoes. Being a first time mother is also burdening as one tends to get less support from the partner who is also new to this situation.

Due to the first time and also due to young age, moms usually do not get sufficient sleep.

The tendency to sleep less comes to a great help during second childbirths. Moms do not feel sleep deprived and without less to worry about they happily carry on with their work even if they sleep for less hours.

The new feeling of motherhood makes few moms anxious. The very thought of having a new identity does not go well with many moms for the initial few days.

However, during the second childbirth this scenario is entirely different. One who has already embraced motherhood always looks forward to more of it. There is nothing more wonderful than embarking on the same divine journey for the second time with more experience, acceptance and positivity.
