Second pregnancy

I’ve just found out that I’m pregnant with my second baby. My little one has just turned two and I’m slightly dreading toddlerhood and pregnancy at the same time. This baby was planned and very wanted, but now I’m actually pregnant I don’t know how to feel about it. Please tell me this is normal 🫣.

My second is 2 and my 3rd baby is almost 4 months. Not going to lie the final trimester and newborn stages with a testing the boundaries toddler was hard and draining. Even now baby still wakes in the night so I'm tired. My 2 girls argue all the time. Eldest has suspected ADHD and the 2 year old is pushing boundaries and not listening.
Its slowly getting better keeping a routine and making sure I make time for me and have a break

Lost but excited

I feel lost in this pregnancy even though it’s barely just begun. I have a 3YO and a 1YO🥲. MyEDD is January 12, and I’m almost 6 weeks!! I knew I was pregnant before I even got a positive test🤣 I swear we just know sometimes! I also started my new job yesterday!🥳 I know it’s nothing fancy but I love my job, I’m a Donut decorator at my father-in-laws bakery! Excited to tell the baby news to all our friends and family but we’re waiting until I’m in my second trimester! My little beans💕 also why do people judge just because I let my son keep his long curly hair? ITS GORGEOUS!!❤️

I want to be pregnant again

A bit of background I didn’t enjoy my pregnancy I was exhausted and huge! My lo is now 7 months and up until like a week ago I was one and done! I struggled adapting to mum life massively. Literally in the last week I’ve gone from never again to I want to be pregnant again now! No way am I cut out for 2 under 2 and I feel like I need to plan before I even consider a second. Has anyone else experienced this sudden change?!

Announcing!!

Hi! My ladies with EDDs around 1/18 or so, when are you announcing publicly/social media? ** we do not believe in HAVING to wait 12 weeks and we believe it should be when you’re ready since anything can really happen anytime. I pray that we all have healthy babies 🙏😊💓 **

We told our parents and friends the weekend after we found out!! Just curious to hear when you’re announcing publicly, we’re thinking 6-8 weeks! I’m almost 5 now. Picture is how we told my husbands family.

Is anyone else irritable?

Hi I’m 35 weeks today and I’ve noticed the past few days I’ve been so irritable with my husband and within the things I’ve been doing.

This pregnancy we’ve dealt with HG, severe anemia, low weight gain, and now preeclampsia risk so we’re looking at a medical induction at 37 weeks. This has all been hard but usually I have a positive outlook and things don’t get to me as much. But goodness something about the past few days has just flipped a switch and no matter how rested or taken care of I am; I feel so snappy and I find myself glaring at the most random things.

Any other mommas in the same boat?

When are you telling everyone?

My husband and I are gonna tell our boys we are pregnant at 7 weeks by doing a private ultrasound with just us. Then we plan on telling extended family that weekend with cute little gifts then probably waiting to announce on socials until around 10 weeks. What about you all?! When and how are you gonna tell your friends and families?! It’s the hardest secret to keep I swear😅😭
