2nd baby

I just found out this morning I'm pregnant with my second child (6 weeks) and freaking out. How did you find having a second child? Easy or difficult? I haven't yet told my partner as I'm worried about how he will react. He doesn't want another child where he knows I do. I had help to conceive my first but this time happened naturally. I'm happy but scared. I kept all my daughters baby stuff from next to me, pram and clothes just in case. We've only just moved house so our mortgage is more expensive now, we both work (I only do part-time and grab any hours I can). I don't have a lot of people around to help or to talk to. I can't talk to my own mum as she will tell people (I love her to bits but she has a hard time keeping secrets). I obviously will be telling my partner when he gets home later I only took a test this morning after being a week late. I just need some time to think about it and for some past experience or someone who's going on gone through the same. I know it will be a huge adjustment as it was tough the first time round but will be worth it.

I have 27 months between my two. Baby is almost 7 months and my son is 2 months away from being 3. It’s definitely hard but your gap will be abit bigger. I absolutely love seeing my kids together. I kept all my sons stuff and use the majority for my daughter. You only get this opportunity once, take it! My partner didn’t want another but the way he is with our second I know he doesn’t regret having her! X

First off I want to say congratulations 🎉🥰 you’re going to rock it. And be got 2 children a 6 year old and a 2 year old and I was freaking out and in the exact same position as you but was doing it solo this time round compared to having one and having the dad in the picture, the dad basically was a class a c**t that professionals are currently involved so was raising 2 children by myself and I’m not going to lie, the first couple of weeks were hard adjusting to a new routine and having to be in 2 places at once but my oldest was so good about it and was really helpful. I wasn’t in work either and was on universal credit (still am) so money was really tight but I put away £20 a month during the pregnancy so that worse case I had something to fall back if I needed it. I just started buying own brand stuff in the food shop and bought things if I really needed them. I was lucky I got money for birthday and Christmas and I used that for bills etc and had family to help out for me to

To hang out with so I wasn’t just stick inside (summer baby) I took my oldest to the park etc so she got to do things and just out the baby in the pram, believe me once you get a routine and it will take a couple of weeks to get into one but once you do you’ll be wondering why you was so stressed. I’m pregnant with number 3 with my new partner and that I’m bricking it because he also has a boy aswell so 2 children all of a sudden go to 4.
