I found out a couple of days ago that I am pregnant.
We currently have a 2.5 year old. She will be just over 3 when baby arrives.
Please send me some reassurance as right now my husband and I don't really know how to feel as it's come as a huge shock!

I have 18 months between mine, they are the best of friends ever and it is the cutest!

I’m 27 weeks pregnant now. I think it’ll be a lovely age gap, I heard 3 years is perfect ❤️

My little boy is 6 weeks old and little was December 2023 it’s tuff but it’s worth it seeing them together

Me too have 18months between my two and they're the best friends possible (girl and boy)! A sibling is the greatest gift you can give to your child!
Also, your life is going to get so much easier after a year! Reason being the older child is going to entertain the younger one (and the other way round) and you won't be needed so much. Neither of them will constantly nag you to play with them (as only children do).

22 months between my son & daughter!
it can be tough but it's the most amazing thing watching my toddler become more fond of his sister everyday.
he's desperate to play with her, and she's besotted by him x

Ohhhh I think you will Have the most perfect age gap!
Mine are starting to finally show affection towards eachother and it’s the sweetest.
Congratulations!

Im 28 weeks pregnant lol I think this is great gap based on what Ive heard! 💕

My December 23 baby is already big brother to my 1 year old son! He LOVES being a big brother. When he's throwing a tantrum the baby is the only thing that'll make him snap out of it? He hugs him all day, plays with him and loves loves loves him so much. My husband was on toddler duty and I was on baby duty. 2 under 2 was hard but as soon as my December baby could talk properly everything became much much easier. You'll be fine and your December baby will thank you for giving them a sibling! 🤍
