Two under two?

Hello ladies, I’ve just joined this group after finding out today that I’m pregnant!

I’ve just this morning found out, my little girl has just turned 11 months and I’m in total shock.

I knew it would be a possibility as me and my partner haven’t done anything to prevent another baby however it took us over 3 years to conceive our little girl after losing two previous babies so we thought we would let nature take its course so to speak.

Looking for some ‘not so horror’ stories. My partner is over the moon and I am happy (I think) I’m just more practical with regards to finances, physical work, attention of my first little one etc etc

TIA x

Firstly , congratulations 😊 I’m not the one to reassure on how it will be , but the one in the same situation . We had our little girl on March she just turned 7month , and the same as you we did struggle to get pregnant before so we were just as surprised, my husband is super happy , and I’m growing to it 😊 I started following mums on insta with 2under 2 and their stories are very inspiring, surely it will be hard for some time but in a long term , babies will have each other to play with ,and create a strong bond . My first daughter is 8 now and all her life she has been the single child which specially during the Covid was hard on her . There are many benefits of having a siblings close age , It will be alright 😊x

I’m in the same boat as you! My little boy is nearly 11 months and I found out I’m pregnant today. It took us 2.5 years to conceive our first so we thought we’d start trying again sooner rather than later. Didn’t think it would happen this quickly. Especially as I’m still breastfeeding. I’m excited but also super nervous. Could definitely do with some advice/reassurance too! X

Congratulations, my little girl is 10 months on Monday and we are in the same boat! It also took me 3 years and I had 3MCs. I’ve been so worried about having them so close together but I just keep telling myself it’s going to be okay xx

Same for me too! My little one is 11 months. Honestly it’s going to be hard but it’s going to be so wonderful watching them grow up close in age! I’ve had lots of friends and family have 2 under 2 and they survive, we will too! ❤️

ahh congratulations lovely! We literally have the same story 🥹 totally with you on not expecting it to happen so soon but I’m a big believer in things happen at the right time and for a reason. Always here if you ever need a chat x

congratulations lovely, I’m so sorry about the babies you’ve lost, it’s soul destroying isn’t it. I think that’s why I struggled so much mentally after having my daughter. It definitely is going to be more than ok. You have your little girl who no doubt you’ve done amazing with and now a little best friend for her. It’s so scary especially the fear of the worst when pregnant but we got this 💪🏼 always here if you need a chat! X

congratulations mumma! Couldn’t agree more, now we have two babies to burst with pride over ❤️ my partner always tells me that whatever feels hard is always worth it so I’m holding on to that. Least you have friends and family that have had children close together too for support ❤️
