Weight gain/stretch marks with baby number 2?

Did you ladies find that you gained less weight with baby number two? And had less stretch marks? I figure chasing a toddler must help but wanted to hear your experiences

I gained more with my second... Why ever . lol. Stretch marks stayed the same, except going further up in some places where I had some already. If that makes sense. Don't think I got any new ones. I'm 38+1.
I also thought I'd be gaining less since I have a very active toddler..lol. and I've had nausea and vomiting pretty much just as bad as during my first pregnancy. But nope... :) I guess it's always different for anyone. People tell me I look much smaller this pregnancy, than the last one(where I gained much less) and apparently my baby is measuring a bit smaller this time. Kinda confusing..lol. :)
