Just found out I’m pregnant with second

Just found out I’m pregnant with my second.did anyone feel scared? We want this child however we didn’t think it would happen so early and I’m terrified! How is pregnancy with a toddler? My little one isn’t even 2.5yr yet! Is it normal to feel like this? I’m worried that my first will feel left out! Is anyone on their second yet after their April baby? I’m so worried that our bond will change and that I will be snappy at her more because of pregnancy. How she will have to share my attention. I’m a crying mess right now and I have no one to speak to as we aren’t telling people yet

I have two 2 year 9 month gaps so a little smaller but not by much

Pregnancy is… different. Maybe you don’t remember all the time that you are pregnant or how many weeks you are. Maybe there’s not so much napping when you’re tired AF.

I didn’t tell mine for a reeeeaaaaallly long time because 9 months is a long wait for a little one. It will probably depend on your kid how much they’re interested and get it, my first was not hugely interested but my second was SO interested in my third. As they were more interested in the third that pregnancy was more of a family affair so we took them to a private scan and they were more present in appointments (most were at home) but for both second and third they were present at the births (at home!).

I think the only real left out feeling we’ve had was when my first was still breastfeeding and I was still trying to wean her when my second was born, she want particularly ready and she was having a really hard time with unrelated stuff.

I have a 19month age gap. I was going through all the motions like you are when I found out. The pregnancy is tougher when you're trying to manage a little one too. But honestly it's so worth it. The bond my 2 have is beautiful and you can really see how much they love eachother

Most days I have a child in each arm 😂 my little girl doesn't go to nursery yet so it's just me and the kids all day everyday. In the early days I prioritised my toddler over the baby. Now he's 6 months its a little harder to prioritise one over the other but you work it out. You do find a way that fits you and your family

Literally in shock

I don’t know why I’m so shocked I already knew before I took the test I have a baby(11 months) and a toddler (almost 3) literally shaking. I’m just shocked at some point I’m going to have three toddlers. 😭 grateful just shocked and have trouble processing this.

Blood pressure

Anyone suffer from high blood pressure because they have health anxiety so can’t tell if they have actual health anxiety or high blood pressure? How can you tell the difference! Even if I do it at home I hate it and it’s high..
would I know if I had actual high blood pressure?

Pregnancy weight gain

So, I'm on my second pregnancy and I'm gaining so much less weight than I did in my first despite actually being more hungry in this one! I am a very slight 43 kilos at 5'9" and by week 12, I had gone up to 49 kilos. However, I'm now 16+3 and haven't gained an ounce since then. By 16 weeks with my daughter, I had gone from 45 kilos to 60!! I am pregnant with a boy this time so I don't know if that is what is making the difference. We had a private gender scan Thursday and baby is absolutely fine, strong heartbeat and measuring up as expected. Has anyone else had a similar experience? Gaining a lot in one pregnancy and not much in another?

Not sure what to think?

I heard these tests are shit for progression and darkening (lighter to other tests)
