Okay mamas, please only positive thoughts and energy here…. I just found out I am pregnant with baby number two! I am over the moon excited, hubby and I agreed that to start trying in March when baby was 9 months old. I wanted to start trying so early because I know that it can take awhile sometimes. Of course as excited as I am, I still didn’t expect it to be so soon. I haven’t had my first appointment yet so things are still very early, but I wanted to share the news with immediate family. I can’t keep a secret to save my life lol. Most were very happy but still got some generic responses such as “ your first isn’t a year yet” “you could have waited a little longer” and so on. I am having anxiety over my first appointment as it is not with my regular doctor so I’m worried about being shamed :/ I am having some feelings of guilt after getting negative feedback from family. I guess I’m just looking for some positive thoughts and wishes from yall. I believe everything happens for a reason and I am on the right path here but can’t help but be emotional

congrats and condolences

There is no need to feel guilt. Don’t worry about what others say, as long as you are taken care of and you feel healthy and you know you will love this baby more than anything, that’s what matters. If your doctor is not kind or supportive then maybe try to find another afterwards because you don’t need that energy. It sounds like since you were trying for a baby that you are more ready than you realize, it may just take some time to process. By the time the baby is born your first born will be a toddler and they’ll be close in age and able to play together and I think it’ll all workout for the best :) my husband and his sister are 18 month apart and they are best friends to this day! I wish you calm and happy energy and congratulations momma 🩷

My kids are 3 years apart sometimes I wish I did it sooner but then I look at their bond that’s specific to them and it’s a constant reminder everything happens when it should ❤️
