Los Angeles:`Veronica Mars` star Kristen Bell finds her second pregnancy five per cent harder than the first.

The 34-year-old actress, who has a 15-month-old daughter with husband Dax Shepard, says the second pregnancy gets difficult for her to handle because she has to take care of a toddler, reported a magazine.

"It`s (both the pregnancies) been exactly the same. Maybe five percent harder because I chase a toddler, but at the same time, it keeps me active. But yeah, it`s been identical," she said. The blonde beauty says she is determined to have a healthy pregnancy and doesn`t have any junk food cravings.

"I gave up refined sugar a couple of months ago. And that keeps my cravings low. I mean, I still crave food in general but I`m not like waking up with a starve, going, `I need dark chocolate!`" Bell said.---- PTI
