I thought I’d feel ready to try by now (aiming for a 2.5-3 year age gap) but I still very often have days with my son where I think ‘HOW would I do this pregnant/with a newborn/looking after two kids’. E.g. when he has a tantrum in public, or when he’s poorly or is up loads in the night. Some days are still SO hard and that makes me think I’m not ready. But do you ever feel ready??
I also worry about dividing my time/love/resources between two children. How do you give everything x2?
Maybe I’m overthinking. Any advice from mums with 2 or more children already would be appreciated!

I’m currently 15 weeks and feel the exact same some days🤣 but then I see her with her baby nephew and know she’ll love getting involved with everything so she won’t feel left out x

Sorry I don’t have any advice, I just feel exactly the same 🥹
