in May 2023 Babies 🇬🇧

Advice please 😩

Hi I had my first baby 4 months ago, a little boy I absolutely love motherhood, I have recently found out I am 5 weeks and 3 days pregnant,so I got pregnant 3 months postpartum 🫠, i suffered with HG very bad in my pregnancy with my son and those symptoms hit around week 6, I can slowly feel myself becoming nauseous and hot flushes, and I’m worried this pregnancy will be a bad one like when I was pregnant with my son because I couldn’t get out of bed some days I was that sick and obviously I still need to care for my son and enjoy my baby! This was a shock but a blessing just wondering if anyone has any advice on how to cope being pregnant with a baby, and having 2 under 1 because my baby is due 18th May 2024 and my sons birthday is 22nd May! 💗 no judgement please I am happy and this baby will be loved just very scared as it’s a big thing to have 1 baby let alone 2 under the age of 1 🤍 many thanks xxx

@Tam Omg I’m so happy to see this comment!! Congratulations! I am currently 6 weeks and 3 days! Praying for a healthy baby due date atm is 18th May that’s going off my last period, but could change at 12 week scan! Wishing you a healthy baby and good pregnancy 🥰💗💗

I found someone in the same boat as me! I just found out too, my son was born in June and this little one is due end of may! 🫠🫠🥹🥰🥰🥰🥰 but I’m happy, I just pray for a healthy and happy baby and pregnancy

@Kate Thank you so much! I definitely will be coming in prepared this time round! 🙈💗💗💗

Congratulations 🎉 sorry I don’t have any advice. But as the lady above said this time round you know what to expect and can make sure you get the correct medication befor you really suffer

@Lauren Thank you so much! I needed to hear this, I’ve been so put off by pregnancy after last time this has scared me, I’m so happy my son will get to grow up with a brother or sister, and yes HG tablets helped but not massively I had sicknsss morning to night from 6 weeks to the day I had him! Hoping for a smooth pregnancy this time it’s definitely a blessing but if it’s anything like my first pregnancy it will be very hard, I definitely have the support of my family, I haven’t told anyone about this pregnancy yet just trying to process the news first, wishing you the best on your future baby number 2 💗💗💗

Congratulations first of all 🤍👶 I too had HG with my first pregnancy which started at 6 weeks & have a real feeling of dread when thinking about a second pregnancy. However we are hoping to have our babies close in age & so we’ll come into the 2 under 2 category aswell. All I keep thinking is that at least you have some knowledge of what to expect should you get HG again. You can ask family/friends for some support with your little boy & head straight to the doctors for medication if that worked for you the first time. It’ll be tough, absolutely no denying that, but when baby 2 is here & your babies grow up together, it’ll so be worth it 💗
