Baby no2 not ready, scared and much more
Salaam ladies,
Ive been putting off testing as it was near impossible for me to be pregnant .. my period was overdue by a week so I finally convinced myself to test this morning and to my surprise it came back positive 😭 I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as this was not the plan. I’m so scared, worried and just not ready after my first birth being so traumatic. My little one is 6 months. I feel overwhelmed. How will I cope physically and mentally? How will we manage financially? So many questions and concerns. What are the age gaps between your children and how did you manage? 😞

Salam sis I have a 8 and 6 year old she’s 7 in August so it’s not too much of a gap but they are literally like twins it was the best thing because they had each other to grow up with❤️ Insh’Allah you will be fine honestly don’t stress.. Allah makes way for everything financially with a baby 🙏 and now I’ve got a 10 month old and I’m pregnant again so another small gap but it’s the best thing don’t worry, I let everyday come as it is and deal with it and don’t think about tomorrow ❤️
I’m crying reading this. It’s so what I needed to hear right now. May Allah bless you immensely. Praying you have a smooth pregnancy lovely ❤️
I have actual twins that are 16 months younger than my oldest. Financially it's not too bad yet as I reused everything I had and got everything second hand as much as I could for the twins. Luckily they are all girls. I breastfed them all too so again some money saved. Really I am only going to die when it comes to nursery because OMG that will be when I struggle financially.
Assalamu alaykum! I fell pregnant at about 6 months post partum too, and I’m now 22 weeks in! I’m very worried too about a lot of things, I’m the first to admit I’m not managing well… I have no idea what I’m going to do yet if I’m entirely honest but here we are lol. If you’d like to send me a message, you’re most welcome. ❤️ Remember that Allah always provides, no matter what. You’ll be in my dua!
Hun my daughter just turned 2 and im due in May
I keep telling myself they will be so close in age before we know it they will entertain esch other as they will be so close and that bond will be amazing.
Imagine the fun they will have, the things they will share and all they will experience together in sha Allah.
It wont be easy but ince your new babyis a few months old you'll get into a routine with them and remember to get out with them for your sake and theirs, even for a short stroll x
