When will I feel the baby?

Feeling your baby move inside you is one of the greatest joys of pregnancy. And as a second-time mom, you’ll likely feel tiny kicks even sooner. In some cases, it may be up to two months earlier.

Will pregnancy be easier?

Each pregnancy is different. And it is impossible to predict how your second pregnancy will feel. However, you have another child to take care of this time around, so you may feel more tired. To feel your best, be sure to get the rest you need. or and delivery be quicker?

Have you heard stories from the mom who barely made it to the hospital before delivering number two?
