I’ve just found out I’m pregnant with baby number 2. First of all I’m terrified. We planned on another but thought it would be a couple of months before start trying. But turns out the baby is due the exact same time as my first. Why am I embarrassed by this?
I am so nervous to tell people. I don’t know how I’m going to manage the juggle. Any tips please help xo

Don’t be embarrassed! My two boys are 23 months apart with just 2 weeks between their birthdays. I’ll be honest it was tough at the start but my youngest is now 4 months and it’s gotten so much easier they really do just slot right in! I’d advise a baby carrier for naps/getting things done around the house especially if you are on your own with both of the littles. My youngest gets also learnt to self settle pretty quickly which has helped, it could just be how he is but we would put him in the cot while my eldest was in the bath and tend to him if he needed us but we found the majority of the time he would just put himself to sleep and this has stuck! We also got books about becoming a brother and family photos for our eldest to prepare him and made him as included as possible when it comes to baby (fetching nappies, helping clean bottles etc), congratulations and good luck!
