Baby #2

I was curious and wanted to ask you ladies if you are wanting to have a second baby, my baby is 10 months and I have really been thinking about giving her a sibling. I would want her to have a sibling close in age, I love having her and would love another baby. Wondering others experiences or if anyone is having similar thoughts at this stage! šŸ©·šŸ¤°šŸ»

my girl turns 1 on the 26th and we been considering trying soon. She’s so sweet and plays all alone she needs a friend. I know it’s gonna be tough in the beginning working from home and having two little ones but I feel like it’s the best

I kind of want to have my third but I don’t know if i can handle another 2 years of sleep deprivation šŸ„±šŸ˜…

i’m scared to have a new toddler and a new baby. I’m not sure how sleep schedules work and all that

My son is 10 1/2 months old now and I’m already 4 months pregnant with my 3rd 😩 I have an 8 year old daughter also so I guess it works out better this way

Avatar

My daughter will be 1 in September and me and my husband have talked about having another one as well. It’s definitely going to be hard the first year or so but we want them to be close in age!

Avatar

I have two. Got pregnant with my second shortly after my first’s first birthday. Love this age gap (21 months)! It isn’t easy, but they are already so close.

Avatar

I’ve definitely been thinking about it more! We will probably be ready when our sons around 18 months old to start trying again! But I’ve always said I wouldn’t care to get pregnant after he’s 1.

The advice I've seen is to wait 18 months for yout body to recover from being depleted of minerals

My girls are 20 months apart. Found out 2 weeks after my first baby's 1st birthday. It's nice to get everything out of the way all together. Both in diapers but won't last long. I swear my second sleeps better than my first lol and sometimes I even get baby fever now too! Lmao. Tbh when I found out I was pregnant (we weren't trying) I was upset because I thought I would take away from her childhood. But nah, I only added to it. She has a built in best friend. Close in age, learn from each other. It's so great to see the love they share. If it happens it happens

i love this advice Shellie. Thank you so much ! So many people i’ve spoken too only tell you the hard times but never the pros

Avatar

Well I found out this morning I’m pregnant 😬 I’ve thought about another, but didn’t try or prevent šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø

I'm pregnant with my second! I was nervous about it at first. But I'm so happy. The babies will be close in age and I didn't have to go through ivf again lol.

congrats !!!!

Avatar

I’m 6 months pregnant my sons will be 14 months apart and since this is my last I can get over all the diapers and 2 hour feedings back to back and be done

Avatar

congratulations!!

Avatar

I have 2 and they’re almost exactly 2 years apart and it’s a good gap. They love each other and play together all the time. My oldest will read to her sister and she’s often a great help.

Avatar

Do it I’m 10 weeks pregnant and am so excited!

Avatar

reading everyone’s comments is making me want to try now! 🄰🩷

Avatar

omg congrats!!

Avatar

aww congrats!! I really want to have another

Avatar

me too exactly! I really want her to have a friend for life

Avatar

Any of you ladies work from home and watch the baby solo now ? Adding a new baby into the mix is what’s making me reconsider each time

Avatar

thank you!

Avatar

I work from home and watch baby most of the time by myself. It's hard. But i do my best. My husband comes and helps when I have meetings, but it's still a challenge.

Avatar

yeah that’s me now with the one baby. I really want a second to give her a friend but I feel like i’m going to be cut thin.

Avatar

that's how I feel too. Really nervous about bringing in another. But I think it'll be worth it in the long run.

Avatar

I know that’s how I feel . I feel like sooner than later sadly the first will end up with preschool for a few days / hours a week. But then i’m also like ugh i don’t want to not have attention for her either. So much to consider

Avatar

ya it'll really be hard to balance both babies for sure. But they'll know we love them. And gotta take it one day at a time.

Avatar

6 months pregnant and September baby turned 11 months today! I’m a SAHM!

Avatar

I am in a similar boat. I have a 3 y/o and a 10 m/o and keep going back and forth on if I want a 3rd or not. I say go for it tho. They love each other and it's the best thing watching them play. My 3 y/o has always been very hands on with her sister and absolutely loves her. I'm glad I had them close in age.

Avatar

luckily my husband and I are both remote so it helps but I’m scared too

Avatar

No, because mentally I couldn’t handle it lol. With that being said you definitely should because there are couples out there that can and also have good families to help! I also had a very difficult and traumatic labor
