For me, the transition to becoming a mother for the first time was so much harder than adding a second child. It was such a huge adjustment for me to get used to taking care of someone and having them depend on me every minute of every day. But by the second time, I’m used to it - for me, having a second child has been easier than having the first because I simply have more experience. I’m used to being needed all the time, as I said above. 0-1 is such a big existential change and challenge that I don’t think you can ever really be prepared for, and for someone who feels deeply uncomfortable “learning on the fly,” it was a lot for me. I often felt like I had absolutely no idea what I was doing sometimes when my first was a baby, and I wasn’t used to feeling so out of my depth at something. So in my experience, the transition to that first child was harder than going from 1-2.
