Baby #2

I just found out im having baby number two! My son just turned 2 in may, and according to all pregnancy apps I’ll be due may 5th about 3 weeks before my sons 3rd birthday so itd be two under three until then 😭

Little back story after I had my son me and my child’s father went long distance and for the next year and half he cheated on me starting on when my son was about three months old, and had another baby and basically hid her, I did all the parenting alone he barely gave me any money for him for the first year and half, he does now but he’s not working and ive since then moved on from the whole situation for my son

Ive since then got my own place, got into a new relationship and started what feels like a new life, me and my boyfriend are so new we’ve been together three months but have talked for six! Ive been on birth control so I’m not really sure how this happened we were in no way planning for another kid yet, ever since coming into our lives he has been there for my son teaching him, buying pull-ups, playing with him full on going into dad mode even though my son isnt biologically his

My boyfriend has no children of his own this would be his first, and he’s always wanted a child but he’s been in the process finding a job and we still need a car and a bigger place, this wasnt planned in the slightest but either way we’ll love this baby and will figure this all out

Also theres my son to consider he’s been much clingier lately and im a bit worried about how he will do with another sibling, he has a baby sister on his dad’s side but he’s never met her other than on video chat but he doesn’t quite understand because he is so young still

I myself have high risk pregnancies so I’m already having pregnancy anxiety and have fear about how this will affect my relationship due to how it did with my sons father even though I know my boyfriend is nothing like my child’s father

There’s so much in the air right now i don’t really know how to move forward any advice on how to deal with anxiety or how having multiple kids close in age has worked out would be deeply appreciated

Posting incognito as we haven’t told anyone just yet and don’t know if anyone I know will be under here

First of all, congratulations on your pregnancy ☺️ i am coming from a sweet and pure loving heart... you sound like you are very overwhelmed and that everything is crashing down, but please do not worry! Everything is going to be fine. The fact that your bf has always wanted a child of his own is a blessing. The fact that you are now pregnant with that child is another blessing. Please feel stress free and enjoy your pregnancy. You deserve a new beginning. I was in an abusive relationship with my first baby being born and now have a new and loving relationship and he has also been jobless, but now we have our little family that we are growing just like you both ❤️ accept this baby and be happy ☺️😘
