Second baby

My first was born December 2023 and I have a 6 week old baby, 14/15 month age gap. I felt really guilty getting pregnant again so quickly and it was a big surprise but so far it has been fine and my eldest has adjusted really well considering he's still only really a baby himself. It's hard but I can't wait for them to have a close bond when they're older and play together! Xx

I went through similar when I found out I was pregnant with my second. I unfortunately had a miscarriage, but I completely completely understand the spiral you are having and it did get easier after the initial shock! I really mean this, my messages are open if you want to talk through it xx

I honestly felt exactly the same as this. Our first was born in Dec 23 and our second is due Oct 25. I went through all the emotions & felt so so guilty about bringing another child into the family. Give it some time - feel all the feelings and trust me it will pass. xxx

My boy was born 1st December 23 and now second is due in December 2025😂

My first son was December 2021 and my second was December 2023. The mum guilt was crazy whilst I was pregnant and I had a lot of emotion about my baby not being my baby anymore but he has adapted better than the rest of us. It wasn’t always easy but so worth it and my eldest doesn’t remember a life without his little brother, so it was worth all the emotional turmoil. Feel free to message if you need a chat xx

My daughter was born December 2023 and second one is due July 2025😅. Took me a while to come to terms with it but I have come to accept it now. Looking on the positives too. However, I’m well aware that two under two wouldn’t be a walk in the park. Don’t worry, breathe, you’ve got this!

I actually cried last night looking at my 16months old sleeping as the mum guilt waved over me that I haven’t got long left til her brother will be here and it’ll no longer just be me and her she’ll have to learn to share me with another baby. And I feel so bad about that😔 it wasn’t the plan to have another baby just yet but things happen I know that, it doesn’t help the guilt

Thank you all! This has made me feel like I'm not alone and these emotions are normal. It's also lovely to hear I'm not the only crazy one having 2 children with December birthdays! 🤣🥰 I really appreciate everyone's responses. ❤️‍🩹
