This Pregnancy vs. That Pregnancy

  1. The Learning Curve
    First Pregnancy: You devour every book and article on pregnancy, childbirth, and parenting.
    Subsequent Pregnancies: You grab a gossip magazine during the rare moments you get to yourself. Seriously, how else will you keep up with what’s happening with Chris and Megan? Been there, done that. Whatever.
  2. Extracurricular Activities
    First Pregnancy: You’re all about prenatal yoga, water aerobics, and every child-rearing class in town.
    Subsequent Pregnancies: Who has time for classes when you’re juggling a toddler? Labor will be rough, then it’ll be over. Simple as that!
  3. Nursery Preparedness
    First Pregnancy: Your nursery is pristine, organized, and ready for baby before the 25-week mark.
    Subsequent Pregnancies: Wait, I’m having another one of these? You scramble to prepare around 39 weeks. Oops!
  4. Your Diet
    First Pregnancy: You’re committed to a perfect diet for the baby’s health.
    Subsequent Pregnancies: You’re munching on leftover chicken nuggets from your toddler’s plate while cleaning up.
  5. Your Social Life
    First Pregnancy: You still go out with friends, staying out a bit longer just to prove that pregnancy won’t change you.
    Subsequent Pregnancies: Unless they’re offering free tickets to see your celeb crush, you tell your friends to take a hike. You’re too busy.
  6. Diagnosing Mystery Ailments
    First Pregnancy: Any odd feeling sends you straight to your OBGYN.
    Subsequent Pregnancies: If it’s not life-threatening, you keep going and brush it off.
  7. Talking/Thinking About Baby
    First Pregnancy: It’s all about the baby, 24/7.
    Subsequent Pregnancies: You think about being pregnant twice: once when the stick shows two lines and again when it’s time to rush to the hospital.
  8. Weight Gain
    First Pregnancy: You’re concerned about gaining the right amount and how you’ll look postpartum.
    Subsequent Pregnancies: You say “screw it” and enjoy those extra fries and dessert. Stretch marks are happening either way, right?
  9. Fetal Movements
    First Pregnancy: Every kick makes you pause and marvel at the miracle of life.
    Subsequent Pregnancies: When the baby kicks, you might acknowledge it, but a donut is calling your name, and that’s priority number one.
  10. Expectations
    First Pregnancy: You think your baby will be a mini angel.
    Subsequent Pregnancies: You know there’s a good chance your little one will make you question your sanity with endless crying and unexpected messes.
