Your Second Pregnancy

Conceiving and carrying a second baby is not always easier or even as easy as a first pregnancy. During each stage of the process - conception, pregnancy, labour and birth - there will be experiences that differ. Your ability to conceive a healthy child and have a vaginal delivery, your risk of suffering certain pregnancy-related conditions, the ease with which you are able to maintain your physical wellbeing and that of your unborn baby while caring for an older child, and your being able to manage a two-child family are only some of the challenges you will meet in a second pregnancy.
