18 month gap between babies feeling guilty ..

I’ve just found out I’m pregnant with my 2nd baby .. I’m over the moon however I’m also feeling really guilty for my first born as he will only be 18 months when the 2nd baby comes along.

I don’t want him to feel left out or not understand why he’s not getting as much attention as he’ll still really be a baby himself

I also feel guilty on the new baby for feeling like this too 😓

There is the same between me and my sister in age, and we are extremely close now.

My sister also had a boy and a girl 18 months apart, the second a surprise, and she felt the same, but now they have the most loving relationship. One is 7 and the other 8, and they support each other to the moon and back.

My friend and her sister are under 2 years apart and are so close and had loads of the same friends growing up 🤍 Don’t feel guilty, you’re giving them a bestie!

You just provided your son with an always friend I think it’s amazing. They will be close to age and be able to do so many things together as they grow older make sure that you spend one on one time.

There's 18 months between my 2 girls, they are 13 and 12 now and they are so close.

Watching them grow up together was amazing because they always had each other, it makes me wish I had my 4th a little sooner so that my son had, had someone like they had each other.

We've got 2 with an 18 month gap and it's hard some days but do love the gap! They both love each other so much and it gets all the chaos (less sleep, restrictions on meals out and holidays etc) out the way together. I was really worried about how our toddler would cope and he's done so well, and obviously the baby won't know any different anyway :) xx

Sex life is 🫠

Im a little desperate already . Im not a huge fan on blowjobs but I’m doing it because I know he likes it . If he wants it in a car, during work meeting , on the balcony, on the beach everywhere I’m okay to do that . However, I’m not getting anything in return. I mean the last time he went down was more than 1.5 years ago . Okay, I was pregnant maybe he did not feel like doing it while I had a belly as he told me . , but I’m not pregnant already for awhile and I’m always telling him that I want him to go down and he is always having an excuse like “tomorrow “ etc . At the beginning it was funny and I was like okayyy but now it’s not as I’m not enjoying our sex in general . Like the process itself does not make me finish . As I’m breastfeeding and super dry down there and I’m always telling him to put lubricant as it’s hurting me . And sometimes it feels like I am begging for that as he is more comfortable without it , but damn IM NOT OKAY without it . So basically I do not remember when was the last time I have finished during sex . I understand that now with a baby it’s hard to fully enjoy it and have enough time for everything. But still . Just kiss me and put your dick inside me does not seems sexy . To be honest I understand why in marriage women does not want to have sex . Like I feel like it’s already work that I have to do not a pleasure. I’ve been telling him that but as I can see no changes applied 🫠

Question about ejaculation

I tell my partner to wear a condom not only for protection but also so that there's no mess to clean up when I get up to use the toilet. Is this normal?
I ask because I now have the contraceptive pill but I still want him to wear a condom.
