It’s a journey but amazingly beautiful watching your first bond with your second.
What will your age gap be?

Start getting her use to others doing things for her. Like have dad start trading off doing bedtime. Long before she knows about baby. At three there will be tons of ways she can help use that to your advantage. Refer to it as our baby (and if you know gender your sister/brother) to give ownership. We we had our 3rd the kids each picked a special gift for baby and baby had a special gift for them.
A big think people told me was to narrate when you are putting her first. Rather then her always hearing hold on a minute I need to finish feeding baby. Also say things like hold on a minute baby I need to help sister with her shoes or I'll change you in just a minute baby as soon as I finish reading this book to sister. It helps her hear she has to share your time and attention but hasnt been replaced. Have grace for regressions (they can happen anytime) and sometimes you have to learn to not see things. nursing the baby. I cant see you eating cherrios while you dance on the table b/c there's nothing I can do

Trying for second baby

How long after your 1st did you try for your 2nd baby?
I have fertility issues, our baby took 2 years to conceive, he has just turned 17 weeks today! I’m certain it will take me a long time to get pregnant again so I’m scared to wait too long before trying again

Announcing before 12 weeks?

Hi guys, just looking for some opinions really. I’m about ten and a half weeks pregnant and dying to announce my pregnancy on my socials. We had a scan this Wednesday and baby looks absolutely perfect, wriggling around and waving at us so after that I’m kinda feeling like what am I waiting for?
Before pregnancy I was always going out so posting on my socials constantly and now I’ve went like radio silent which is so weird for me!!
This is my first baby and I’m just so excited for everyone to know. When did everyone else announce?

Nausea/Sickness 26 weeks

Hiya all.
26 weeks pregnant and the nausea/sickness is still there 😭 some days are good some days are bad, no where near as bad as the first trimester, that wasn’t fun. I am on anti sickness tablets which I feel are starting to loose their effectiveness. I also have a 3 year old aswell. Finding this pregnancy a lot harder than my first. Anyone else experiencing this? X
