2 under 2, SOS😂

Hey. I’m 23 weeks pregnant and I have a boy who’s 1 next month. I was 6 months pregnant when I conceived.

People tell me it’s hard but also rewarding as they’ll be besties etc..

Congratulations by the way x

I was 6 months post partum when I got pregnant again. Pregnancy was hard but worth it. My baby is 3 months old now and eldest is 18 months and they have a beautiful bond. Some days are really hard and other days feel like a reward and I feel accomplished. It’s never linear but I know that this is not forever and I will feel normalise again some day but this is just my phase of life for a short while in comparison

Just make sure if you have a partner they know how to step in with your eldest from now so it’s easier when baby is here. My husband is on toddler duty when he’s not working and it’s a bigggg help

I love it. I have a 17 month gap and I would do it again in a heartbeat. They play so well together and are obsessed with each other. For me it has been easier than the first baby but busy, although my second is a very chill and content baby. The hardest phase so far has been around 2-3 months when he wanted to play on the floor but my eldest still needed help to understand how to be gentle so having a separate play space is helpful.

I have 3 under 3. Older two ignored each other for months and I guess its cuz my oldest had no idea how to play with his little brother yet. However the more theyre able to interact, the better their bond had become. Now they play together, share food, my oldest even lets me know when younger one is messing around. Its adorable. With my third , they both absolutely adore her. They light uo everytime she wakes up she gets lots of hugs and kisses from all of us. The hardest part id say is being heavily pregnant and having a toddler. Harder than newborn phase. So take it easy on yourself, try setting yourself up to let your 6 months old to get crawling and ready to walk and eating, no more rocking to sleep etc. Any small things you can do is a huge win later down the line. The other and most strongest advice I have is be mentally preparing your mind and body for the day to day grafting. Expect lots of downs and look forward to all the ups and small wins. Cherish every moment ✨️

I've 3 under 4 (3 ,2 and 7 weeks) . My first and second are a year apart, I was 3 month pp when we found out about her, second was literally born a week and a half after her brothers first birthday. It has its difficult days, still does but I wouldn't change it for the world, they are absolutely the best of friends, as for my youngest they both adore her. Honestly if I could get a 7 seater car right now I'd have another set of Irish twins. Yeah its mental and there's days were I'm at my wits end but honestly watching them all bond and knowing im watching them make there their first best friends makes it all worth it

I think it depends on the temperaments of your children I have 17 month age gap and only now15 months later is it getting easier they just fight constantly we have been in the trenches!
I love that they will
Hopefully be super close but number three will not be any time soon! It’s been tough for us
