All doctors agree that there is a huge difference between the first birth and the second. The second birth may not affect your health, but may have complications with not very pleasant consequences. It depends on each individually. What is the reason for this? It depends, first of all, on many factors: health, mother's age, diet. When a woman first becomes pregnant, she devotes much time to her health and well-being, as this is her first long-awaited baby. The second birth, as a rule, does not allow her to spend the same amount of time on herself, since by that time the woman is burdened with household chores and the upbringing of the first intercourse. Of course, she needs twice as much time, which, alas, she does not have: the first child also needs care, something needs to be prepared, washed, cleaned, and this, mind you, takes a lot of time. Of course, there are positive aspects of the second pregnancy. Women already have rich experience of bearing a child, and they are more consciously approaching the second birth.
Features of the second birth
The second birth takes place without complications, simpler and easier. This applies to the opening of the cervix. If at the first birth it opens up to twenty-three hours, then at the second - this process takes up to eight hours. The muscles of the vagina and uterus become elastic, the soreness of the passage of the fetus decreases - this is what determines the judgment that the second birth is easier than the first. It is easier to give birth to a child from the point of view of psychology, because the mother is already mentally prepared for such an event. If a woman carefully follows all the doctor’s instructions, the baby will be born faster. If a young mother passed through childbirth once, then the body remembers this event for life. The best option between pregnancies is from three to five years. During this time, the body is fully restored and builds up strength for the second child.
Risk factors
The second pregnancy, as already mentioned, is easier and easier. But it is worth asking a question: why is it still possible to give birth a second time with complications? First of all, this may be due to abortion or miscarriage and an inflammatory disease. Further, after the first birth, the body may be depleted. According to doctors, the second birth passes quickly, but the third birth and the fourth can be complicated by exhaustion. So you should carefully listen to your body and monitor your health. Drink vitamins prescribed by your doctor and eat right.
Another reason is a cesarean section during the first birth. So far, doctors have not yet established whether it is possible to give birth to a woman in a natural way if she has had a cesarean. Here you need to consider the presence of ruptures of the vagina or cervix. If there were gaps in the first birth, then the birth canal can change, and the tissues can become completely non-elastic. Keep in mind the age of the mother. The best age is considered to be 18-29 years, because then complications arise with bearing a child and pregnancy.
Therefore, you should be more attentive to your health. Often you need to rest, all the instructions of a doctor must be followed, you must avoid the smell of cigarettes and alcohol. Refuse urgently from bad habits.
Parents who have different blood rhesus may be at risk. It is necessary to pass all the necessary tests before conceiving the baby, do not be lazy to do it.
It doesn't matter - you have a first or fourth pregnancy. It is important that this is the most extraordinary event in the life of every person, every mother, every family. Soon the second birth will take place , their precursors are almost the same as at the first, which means that an experienced mother will not confuse them with anything. Soon a new man will be born, and you need to make sure that he grows up active, healthy, cheerful and cheerful.
