I'm curious to hear from anyone who's had second, third, fourth (or more!) pregnancies, especially if they were really close together. in terms of how did your body changed compared to the first pregnancy (especially bump, skin changes)
I had my first baby 6 months ago, and we're planning to start trying again in about 1–2 months. Thankfully, I bounced back pretty quickly—I’m already back to my pre-pregnancy weight and my body looks pretty much the same as before. My first pregnancy was also very easy overall, and even on the day I gave birth I only looked about 6 months pregnant.
I've always heard that with each pregnancy, especially back-to-back ones, you tend to show much earlier and your bump gets bigger. I'm wondering if that's inevitable or if your core strength makes any difference.

For those of you who had pregnancies close together:

Did you show earlier the second (or third/fourth) time?

Was your bump noticeably bigger?

Did you do any core/deep core/TVA or pelvic floor exercises before getting pregnant again?

If so, do you feel it made any difference in how soon you showed or how your bump looked?

I know every pregnancy is different, but I'd love to hear real experiences from moms who've been through back-to-back pregnancies!

Hi!
I just wanted to ask if this is okay/normal or if anyone had same experience. My baby girl is 4 months old and she is combo fed. She nurses during the night once and then first thing in the morning, so I have no idea how much she gets. Then she gets 5 more bottles of formula during the day. Her 4th bottle is usually at 5:30 pm and then she gets offered the last one right before putting her to sleep, which is around 6:30-6:45 pm. I was just wondering if that too much for her to drink literally 350 ml in a span of 1 hour or 1,5 hour?
If i count all the formula she gets, it is around 800-900 ml, since I dont know how much she gets from nursing, I started down spiraling if I overfeed her, but at the same time wouldn’t she refuse to take the last bottle if she was not hungry? She doesn’t spit, she drinks nice and slow.
I am just confused because it always seems that she would drink however is offered, it maybe happened 5 times that she left formula in bottle.
Otherwise she is healthy and is in 95th percentile for length and 50-60th percentile for weight.

Thank you for some insight or sharing if you had similar experience.
