Which was harder?

I’m due my second baby towards the end of the year.. I found the first time around soo hard for many reasons and still don’t find it much easier now and he’s 18 months old. Sometimes I think I’m crazy for having another so soon when I still struggle a lot.

If you have 2 children, did you find it harder going from 0-1 child or 1-2 children and why?

It's swings and roundabouts really. You have confidence in your abilities because you're already a mum but unless youe oldest is at nursery there is no chill. When baby sleeps you still have a whirlwind to contend with 😂 you'll be fine though 💪

As said above, it’s easier because you know what you’re doing but then in other ways it’s complete chaos because you have 2 little people with different needs. I personally found 0-1 harder because it was a complete shock to the system the massive responsibility and loss of “freedom” 😂😂 but when my son came along it was just more madness as my daughter is already feral enough 😂😂 you’ll be ok, and once they start playing together it’ll all be worth it ☺️☺️

Could I be pregnant?

I missed my period in March, I do have the implant for birth control, but I took a pregnancy test and it was negative but I went back and looked at it and it changed to positive, I have all the same symptoms I had when I was pregnant with my first

Rhesus negative - what counts as a potential incident?

Hello, I’m rhesus negative and due my anti D in June. My midwife hasn’t really given me much information on it; and in what circumstances I should be concerned.

But I just today got knocked down by a golden retriever dog, not violently, they were just exceedingly excited and came bounding down the hill at me, and barelled into my legs so I fell down. But should this be something I go in for anti-d early? Should I be looking out for anything specific.

I don’t really understand what the potential risk is, or what the anti D does. My only understanding is it’s to stop my blood attacking the babies, but why then do they only give you the anti-d at 28weeks if that’s the case.

Surely our blood is always mixing?!
