I believe it is a matter of exhaustion. The more kids you add into the mix, the less time you have to rest. It's tiring enough chasing a 1 year-old, let alone being pregnant.
I have 2 - was pregnant with my son when my daughter was 1 1/2. The 2nd pregnancy was exhausting. I didn't have as much time to relax as I did with my 1st pregnancy. And - because my daughter was only 1 1/2, she still wanted to be held and carried a lot. That probably wore me out even more.
I also had to be admitted for a few days because my amniotic fluid was low. I never had that problem with my daugter. I think it's because I spend so much time caring for her that I was not taking proper care of myself or the baby inside- drinking enough water, eating the right things.
Everything turned out fine. Some of the differences in the pregnancies could have been the different in sex of the baby. But - I'm sure a lot had to do with how little I was caring for myself the 2nd time around.
Don't count on them being the same. Every pregnancy is different. My second one was completely different than my first. With my daughter I was sick for the 1st 3 months. After that it was pretty smooth sailing. With my son, I didn't get sick but I was more uncomfortable. I was so miserable with that pregnancy. I got gestational diabetes and had to go to the hospital once a week to get monitored for 1 hour. I didn't feel like eating anything. I starting getting "fake" contractions 1 month before he was born and they continued until the day I was induced. I was so scared that I wouldn't know when they became real. They never did. Even my delivery was harder with him. Now they are 10 and 2 and have been total opposites from the beginning. Raising the 2nd one was like starting all over because they are so different. The good news is that my son is my angel. So he gave me trouble during the pregnancy but he is such a good little boy. He makes me forget the trouble he gave me before he was born. Just relax and try to enjoy being pregnant.
Every pregnancy is different, but in my experience I have noticed that when I allowed myself to just sleep all the time and bed rest (which was required for a chunk of my 1st pregnancy and not at all for the 2nd and minimally for the 3rd) I felt more miserable. Definitly rest, but set a routine that you can live with. Find time to play with your little one who is about to lose your attention. Those first months are hard to learn how to toggle 2 kids. I had an easier pregnancy and a nearly painless labor that was so smooth in the pregnancy where I exercized regularly. I hurt more and was more exhausted in the pregnancies where I was required to rest more. I did feel like resting more with my 1st pregnancy, and with my 2nd I did take a nap at regular nap intervals with my 1st child. I also napped with my 2 older children when #3 was on the way. Just remember you are doing more now than you did when pregnant with your first. I know how taxing that can be. I found out I was preg with my 2nd child on my 1st childs 1st b-day and I was still nursing and continued until 16 months. I then found out I was preg with my 3rd child when my 2nd child was barely 10 months old and I was still nursing him and continued until he was about 13 months. Nursing, preg and taking care of a toddler???? That is draining! Just taking care of a toddler while pregnant is draining as you know. Just remember that you are about to jump the 3 month hump where your progesterone levels out causing you to get a boost in energy. Good luck and hang in there mama!
My last child ( my son) I kept telling the dr and nurses that something was wrong, I was in alot of joint and back pain.Had gestational diabetes. I slept most of the pregnancy. People would ask my husband " How's D. doing" and his reply was always, " I don't know she sleeps all the time". I was 37 when I became pregnat with him and did 4 years of IVF ( $50,000 worth) and we conceived inbetween IVF anyway no one would listen to me about the pain and when my son was 5 weeks old I ended up in the ER and found out I had Lupus. So listen to your body and make the doctors listen. Best of luck to you.
