There could be something in that CM - DD wasn't planned, my relationship was far from stable and I was a good 10 years younger - barely 20. So not really ready at all, which emotionally impacted the pregnancy quite a bit. This time the pregnancy was planned and very much wanted, relationship is steady and I'm in a much better place.

If you weren't really ready for your first, or even if you were there's so much to adjust to becoming a parent for the first time, and it's a lot to take in - second time around you sort of know what to expect so are more prepared maybe?
