While every pregnancy is unique and different, the general mechanics will be the same. Still, there will likely be a few differences between pregnancy number one and pregnancy number four. Women experiencing pregnancy for the first time typically show later than they do in subsequent pregnancies.
Blame it on the first baby — your uterus and abdominal muscles were much tighter before they stretched to accommodate a growing passenger. As your uterus grew, it expanded out of the pelvis into the abdomen, stretching your abdominals and eventually becoming that baby bump. The result? Many women will show earlier during their fourth pregnancy than they did with subsequent pregnancies. And for a fourth-time mom, early can mean somewhere around the 10th week.
During a first pregnancy, many women notice breast changes. With those changes comes extreme tenderness, which can be an early indication of pregnancy. For second-, third-, or fourth-time moms, your breasts might not be quite as tender. They might not change in size as significantly as they did the first time. Women who have been through a previous pregnancy tend to notice signs and symptoms that they might have missed the first time around.
It can be easy to mistake breast tenderness for an impending menstrual cycle, or morning sickness for a stomach bug. But fourth-time moms are more likely to recognize pregnancy symptoms than first-timers. Other parts of pregnancy are more recognizable, too. Many women experiencing pregnancy for the first time mistake the movements of their tiny baby for something like gas. Moms on their second, third, or fourth pregnancies are far more likely to recognize those little flutters for what they are.
This probably means less opportunity to rest, something you likely did during your first pregnancy. The age difference alone can make you feel more tired. The age difference is one of the biggest contrasts between first and fourth pregnancies. This is because hormonal changes as you age increase the chance that more than one egg is released during ovulation.
Being an older mom also means a greater risk of having a baby with a chromosomal defect. Preterm labour occurs before the 37th week of pregnancy. Before 20 weeks, preterm labour that leads to delivery is a miscarriage spontaneous abortion. Preterm labour is diagnosed in a woman who is 20 to 37 weeks pregnant and has regular uterine contractions.
This means about 6 or more in 1 hour. Call your doctor if you have had regular contractions for an hour, even after you have had a glass of water and are resting.
Early labour is often the longest part of the birthing process, sometimes lasting 2 to 3 days. Uterine contractions:. In early labour, the cervix opens dilates to about 3 cm 1. First-time mothers may have many hours of early labour without the cervix dilating. You may go to the hospital and be sent home again until you begin active labour or your water breaks rupture of the membranes. The first stage of active labour starts when the cervix is about 3 cm 1.
This stage is complete when the cervix is fully dilated and the baby is ready to be pushed out. During the last part of this stage transition , labour becomes really intense. Compared to early labour, the contractions during the first stage of labour:. You may feel restless or excited during active labour.
Now is the time to be at or go to the hospital or birthing centre. If your bag of waters amniotic sac has not broken before this, it may now. If you have taken a labour class and learned how to do special breathing during contractions, you will want to begin the special breathing now.
