Mamas of 2 under 2 - advice please??

So I recently found out I'm 10 weeks pregnant and I have a nearly 10 month old daughter so she'll be around 17 months by the time baby is born. I'm absolutely terrified but so excited! Do you Mamas have any tips for me in the future? Also any products you recommend me buying to prepare for their arrival? Also any recommendations for a double buggy? Sorry I'm asking a lot I just need some reassurance and advice, anything is appreciated even just kind words 🥰

Just take it one day at a time and stick to a routine

Exactly that^^^ and try and prepare your 10 months old into knowing lil brother or sister will be coming soon and attention will need to be divided.

There’s so much to say but if you ever have any question I’m here

I have a 2yr old girl and a 2mo old boy. I just make sure my daughter is involved with her brother since that's where most of my attention has to be right now.

So she likes helping with his baths, she'll wipe his face if he spits, checks on him if he cries, and she picks his outfits for the day.

Other than that, I make sure she still gets her individual time with me. So I either put the baby down or he spends time with dad.

As far as stroller, I opted for a stroller wagon. It takes up about the same amount of space as a double stroller when folded. But has way more space for kids to sit and way more storage. I absolutely love my stroller wagon. It's the Joymor, 2 seater on Amazon.

Other than that, I didn't get anything special for having 2 kids. Maybe a new diaper bag that holds more. That's about it. Everything else I had kept from her. So he already had a carseat, some clothes, a bath, etc.

Young mum

Hi guys,

I’m just wondering if there’s any other young parents that are getting further into their pregnancy and like, genuinely just clocking that I’m gonna be responsible for a baby and I don’t know everything their is to know about baby’s I feel like I’m gonna be so useless and accidently be the worst mum in the world 🫣

Does anyone else feel like this? Or felt like this? I’m 19 and genuinely have so much anxiety about this now I’m 20 weeks lol

So annoyed, dog jumped on me :( now I’m anxious

I have a big dog and she NEVER jumps.. today I came home and my mum was with me visiting and my dog must have just got over whelmed and she jumped and ended up scratching my lower back,

with that I’ve bent backwards almost and stretched my lower belly and it didn’t hurt as such just felt like tha shock ligament pain but ofc I haven’t actually bent that far since being pregnant and now I just feel anxious really and just need some reassurance. It only happened about 15 mins ago and I have felt baby a little since

But why is there always something to worry about!😭
