Having a 2nd baby

Hi really need some advice from people that have 2 children.

My 1st is 18m old, we had a rough start, born at 33 weeks, 2 weeks in NICU, cows milk allergy, refused to feed, cried all the time, whingey, didn’t sleep till 7 months old.

I want more children but am petrified with the thought of how I would cope. I’ve found being a mum consuming, I love my little boy more than anything but my god it’s been rough!!

Everyone says going from 0-1 is easier than 1-2 but after having a really difficult first child has anyone found it to be the opposite? If so what is your age gap x

Should I get a second opinion with a different OB

My OB which is only a NP the only one with available appointments has been telling me I’m gaining too much weight in my pregnancy. I’m 24 weeks and have gained 20 pounds so far. I’m gaining about 2 pounds a week started at 98 pounds in the beginning and I’m now at 119. She says I need to slow it down and that I’m putting myself at risk for gestational diabetes, high blood pressure, and c-section from a big baby. Mind u my pregnancy has no risks is perfectly healthy. At my anatomy scan my baby measured in the 64 percentile for weight. I’m stressed out because of this and she didn’t give me any suggestions on how to not gain weight fast. Yet I have had other moms tell me not to worry because they gained so much and had no issues. Should I find a new OB or be concerned about my weight if so any suggestions.

It’s Due Date Count down Ladies!

Wishing you all the best over the next 8 weeks as we welcome babies who arrive a little early and those who are just a bit too comfy where they are.

I’m sure I’m not the only one who can’t wait to see all the baby photos flooding in and to hear everyone’s birth stories.

Let’s really show up for each other through the highs and the tougher moments, no mum should feel alone.

First time Mama!

Started trying after our wedding in March. I thought it would take a while since I had proof I don't always ovulate. Looks like we got lucky, because I'm definitely pregnant! After being very sick the last few years, this is a totally different direction and I'm working on the complicated feelings that comes with it, but I'm definitely excited!
