Publisher's Synopsis
There is a wealth of material for first-time mothers, but each pregnancy and child is different. Having more than one child brings its own demands on the parents, practically, physically and emotionally.;Here is an advice book for parents facing it all "second time around". Full of practical guidance and stories from many other parents, the stage-by-stage advice covers pregnancy and labour; what to expect the second time; handling feelings and expectations - is it possible to love two children equally? - and coping with day-to-day practicalities. It looks at sibling rivalry, how to cope with jealousy and encourage friendship, why a father's role is important, shared parenting, and how to keep a primary relationship alive.
