Second pregnancy: how does it compare?

I had heard that, but I didn't really believe it!!

With the second pregnancy you do feel movements earlier and get bigger sooner.

As for the whole pregnancy each is different just like each child - my second was easier, shorter labour but the

more intense the pain - apparently because you have to go through all the stages of labour quicker.

My third was ultra quick but the most painful ! Eek !! I will never forget .....

oh dear can we please not discuss the pain here... I just don't want to think about it yet!

With the second, has anyone else noticed they seem to move more? There are limbs and bottoms sticking out of me at all angles. Quite disconcerting. My theory is that with the first, I had better stomach muscles to contain her, but nowadays, there aint nothing to stop her doing baby yoga on an extreme scale!
