i really want another baby

I got pregnant 5 months PP and honestly it’s made me so happy!! If it works for you then do it, but it’s not easy at all😭maybe think on it a little longer incase you feel differently

I have 3 under 2 years old (because twins) and it can be rough some days doing it all by yourself. And some mom guilt of the older one not being the baby anymore when they still are. But as they get older it will get better and they will be close together. Then they will like the same toys at the same time which is nice and personally get the no sleep over with rather than starting all over

Do it! 2 under 2 has its hard moments in the beginning but once the youngest is crawling they play together and it gets easier.

The world is always going to be crazy

I have 18 mo age gap and don’t do it. I felt like you fresh pp and if I could choose again I’d not have another one this close in age… it’s so much harder than you think and the mum guilt is eating me up so badly. Everyone always saying ‘but when they grow up they can play together bla’ but the actually having 2 under 2 is absolute chaos and pregnancy for me was an absolute killer so would not do it again if I had the chance. And I had no help at all and no car to get to appt so a lot of things you need to consider before making that decision. Sorry to be negative Nancy but that’s the reality of having them close in age

I wouldn’t do that to be honest

I got pregnant with my second when my first was 9 months old, my pregnancy was horrendous and I had so many complications. I did have a C-section the first time so this could've been why..

There are good sides to having 2 under 2 but plenty of bad too, mainly the healing and the lack of sleep.. nothing prepares you for when they're both sick and they take turns screaming all night 🤣

On the other side I love watching my first son Interact with my newborn, it's teaching him how to be gentle and kind even in moments where he normally wouldn't be able to.

The terrible 2 tantrums aren't fun with a newborn at all though!

I also had to spend 3 weeks in and out of hospital post partum and ended up having to bring a catheter home, you never know what will happen with your birth and I definitely wasn't prepared to be wrestling my catheter from my toddler or having to lug it round while I tended to two different children at the same time.

You need to be ready for every possibility x

Might get judged but my son is 9 months old nearly and we started trying literally yesterday, we aren’t necessarily thinking it will work but I ovulated for the first time since my son was born yesterday and we want them close in age so if it takes us a year we still won’t have a massive gap between them.

My first is currently 20 months and im 32 almost 33 weeks pregnant, its exhausting being pregnant with a toddler, chasing them around, in and out of cars, morning sickness, not being able to sleep through the worst of the symptoms ect but im definitely looking forwards to having another little one, just make sure you got the support system to help you out if needed but theres no rush go for it when you are ready mentally and physically ☺️

Everyone’s different so do what you want to do. If you are doing well, have a supportive partner and stable income you’ll work it out.

I’m 29 weeks pregnant and my son will be nearly 3 when our girl is born. I’m scared as though because our son got really difficult around age 2 and I’m now slowly realising why people have bigger age gaps 😂🙈

Be super careful getting pregnant within the first year pp! I know a lot of people do it but it puts you at a higher risk of complications
