DD was 10 months old when I fell pg to DS1 and I didn't show any earlier with him, though I felt him earlier. I had lost most of my pg weight by then and carried fairly small with her so found that my tummy was still fairly tight when I was carrying him.

My pg with him was quite different too - with her, I was flush and beautiful and glowing, with him, I was constantly sick, lost weight, hair was lank and skin was horrid.

Her labour was 28 hours and slow to build up, and I was eventually induced. With him, I laboured without anything but some gas in the last few hours, but otherwise it was easier for me despite it lasting 14 hours, and I was much calmer for it.
