True story: why the second pregnancy is so different from the first

Our heroine announced her first pregnancy to the whole world with the help of a picture that she had been looking for on the Internet for a long time …

She is now pregnant again, but in order to fulfill her civic duty and inform about the upcoming increase in the family, she did not waste time looking for a mi-mi-mish picture, but simply posted a photo of her daughter in a T-shirt with the words “Big Sister”.

At the same time, she is incredibly happy that she is pregnant again, because this took much longer than the first time, and even a visit to the doctor regarding possible infertility. The heroine passionately prayed for an addition to the family and is now in seventh heaven with happiness that she will have another child, which she … constantly forgets.

Almost everyone knew about her first pregnancy, even those who did not ask any questions, and could name the age of the embryo with an accuracy of weeks, days, hours and minutes.

Now, when asked about how she feels, she automatically replies: “Great, and you?” She even booked a massage, forgetting to mention her pregnancy. By the way, it had to be canceled, because there was no corresponding specialist in the salon, tells the story of his heroine Scary Mommy.

During the first pregnancy, the days dragged on endlessly, and it seemed that the next milestone would never come – the next week. The second pregnancy seems to be flying. The heroine almost fell off her chair when the doctor announced to her that the second trimester had already come. She has not yet taken a single picture of her tummy, unlike numerous pictures of her first pregnancy from different angles over the course of one week. These pictures begin when there is still nothing showing pregnancy. The second time it was noticeable almost immediately, but there is no documentary evidence of this.

The heroine thinks that two years ago she was a completely different person. Then everything revolved around her and her belly. She was the star of the show, she had no competitors, and that was all she was doing.

Now she is no longer the center of the universe. Everything revolves around her two-year-old daughter, whose interests outweigh her own. When she rocks her at night before bed, she looks into her eyes, unaware of the tiny betrayal that grows and develops right below her.

“How will she react when she sees someone else in my arms?” The heroine is scared to think that a new child will make her daughter feel abandoned and not so needed.

Her love for her daughter is boundless. And this love will soon multiply. The second child will appear, whether she remembers him or not. Her doctor called it second pregnancy syndrome: she forgets that she is pregnant, then torments herself with thoughts about the reaction of the first child. Fortunately, this syndrome should be gone by the fall.
