2 under 2

I’ve just found out I’m pregnant and rather far on so termination would be hard for me. I’m wondering how people are with 2 under 2, how the toddlers are with new borns and how you cope alone with dad at work and no family around for miles.

My daughter is 8 months and I’m now 13 weeks. :’(

Aye yous scared? I’m worried about the fatigue toward the end as I’d be pregnant right through the summer and j did that last year it was hard enough without a toddler! I’m so scared I won’t cope

I’m in the same situation, happy and terrified at the same time, but mostly happy that my little boy will have a sibling :) ❤️

To answer your question, I'm not actually scared, I'm excited! I can't wait to meet my new baby and see my two kids together, and growing up so close.
I'm already drained of energy and I'm not looking forward to the later stages, having a toddler and being so tired. But I think once I realised that as soon as I had a baby I needed to embrace the chaos, I was much calmer. My house isn't always perfectly clean, I forget important things, sometimes I sit on the couch instead of cooking a meal, but my baby girl is thriving, what more could you want! Embrace the choas, get ready for more chaos as another comes into your life, but I look forward to it. It won't last forever. One day (it seems like forever away) our babies will move out, you will have a perfectly clean house, days to yourself, time on your hands, and you'll miss this mess x

I have 2 under 2, 13 months apart.
I'm not gonna lie, it is difficult, especially the first few months but eventually it will get easier.
I'm still struggling a bit because my oldest is still a baby and she wants a lot of attention so routine is not going great, but I found going out helps for my mental health and also I get 1 hour for myself as they sleep at the same time in the car.
The pregnancy with a baby was alright overall, kept me a bit active through it all.
I found the pregnancy difficult just because of my hormones.

But I guess once the second is 1 year+ and the first is 2 years would be much easier because they will do pretty much the same things ☺️

I have a 18 month old and a 1 month old. Had them 17 months apart. It is hard and very tiring toward the end but its so worth it. The love betweem you're kids is so beautiful. I wouldn't trade it for anything
