an older version but still informative
From the cover: Your Second Child is the first book to focus on the special challenges and joys of being a parent for the second time. Blending experience and expertise, the author, an award-winning medical writer and mother of two, presents not only the theoretical aspects of second-time parenting, but the practical side as well. Your Second Child begins with a detailed look at the impact of a second child on the family, and discusses the psychological and physical aspects of a second pregnancy and childbirth, highlighting the important and often overlooked differences from the first experience. The author then offers solid, much-needed information on every aspect of the subject: how to cope with sibling rivalry; how to distinguish and deal with the differences between the two children; how to help your children learn and play together; how to make one room big enough for two; and how to mesh two children's schedules and make time for yourself.
