Everything I read about pregnancy says that women often experience lightening in their first pregnancies but not in subsequent pregnancies, but no one ever explains why this is. It seems more logical to me that this would be reversed, since a woman’s muscles, ligaments, etc. would be stronger in her first pregnancy than in subsequent pregnancies. Can you explain this to me?
