"Second guessing" – at least in the US – means to criticize or judge someone with the benefit of hindsight. Looking back at a situation and telling someone, "You should have done that differently." [for example]

reconsidering what you originally thought. For example you wanted to eat a pear, but now that you have the pear you are second guessing if you should eat it.
