Looking for some experience/insight - Second pregnancy/child birth/etc?

I'm am current going through the first trimester with our second baby. My son is 2 years old next week. I'm just looking for some insight as to what you went through with your second pregnancy (such as, showing earlier, etc) also, second child birth (such as, I heard that generally the second time around it's faster, but the 'after pains' were worse?). How did you cope being exhausted with another child? Any helpful advice for going through pregnancy the second time around with a toddler. I am also working full time - hoping to work as long as possible through my pregnancy and take the full year of maternity leave. Anything is appreciated!

    It was awesome with my second child! I knew what to expect, didn't have the fears like I did with my first born. Also I didn't want to scare my son & feared him associating my pain with his sister so I stayed very calm for his behalf. Childbirth was pretty much the same as my first born, my calmness & knowledge is what made it different. My son was in love with his sister when she was born & was protective of her so i wasn't too bad with being tired. ALso had a lot of help from their daddy & family. Just be sure to prep your 2 yr old the best you can before the baby's born, relax & enjoy your babies. Good luck!

    well I am 19 weeks pregnant with my 2 baby I am starting to show alot more faster then I did with my 1st baby I also was feeling my baby kick alot sooner becuz I know what to expect it to feel like. I hear the birth goes alot faster the 2nd time around thats what im hoping for. I have a 4 year old not sure how it will play out having a baby and a toddler but im sure everything will be fine once he gets used to having a new baby around good luck
