First Pregnancy vs. Second Pregnancy

You might have done everything by the book your first pregnancy, but things are a little different with baby 2. But just because you’ve been pregnant before doesn’t mean you know exactly what you’re in for.

One-third of pregnancies in the U.S. happen within 18 months of a previous birth, according to a new study from the Guttmacher Institute in New York. And planning a second pregnancy quickly after your first one is even more common in women over the age of 30, according to the findings.
