Publisher's Synopsis
Second Thoughts describes Lynn Berger's growing realisation, on becoming pregnant with her second child, that she knew very little about how it would change her and her family's life. She therefore set out on a quest to find the answers to all sorts of things that were bothering her: is it important for children to have a sibling? Does having more than one child affect a mother's wellbeing? What is the effect of repetition and routine on our memory? And does being a second child influence your personality? A wide-ranging, beautifully written meditation on what it means to have, and to be, a second child.
