Can anyone give any advice on what it’s like going from one to two? My boy is 1 and I’m pregnant and panicking about not wanting him to feel left out but also wanting to give enough attention to my other baby!

Do everything together as much as you can, mine have a 17 month age gap and although when I first found out I was pregnant I felt bad that my eldest didn’t get so much time with us as an only child I can’t imagine her without her younger brother now, those first couple of weeks when newborns are mostly sleeping will give you time to find a routine that works, when your feeding the baby give the eldest a snack or something to do or if you cab read a book together, let your toddler play with baby, hold babys hand, kiss baby stuff like that really helped i find

I have two boys only 11 months apart , it’s definitely a challenge and one of the hardest things I’ve had to do but it is SOOOOOO worth it I love it . My tip is to try keep your eldest involved im everything like say let’s feed your brother/ let’s get your brother dressed , make it exciting as you can for your eldest and that it’s his baby too and best friend. Mine are Jsut about to turn 2 and 3 now and they really are best friends that also fight and argue everyday 😂but they have such an amazing bond x
I’m FTM at 38 weeks today + nearly 40 years old. My blood pressure has been fine throughout the pregnancy mostly 110/70. I went for my routine midwife appointment and it was 145/90 for the first time during pregnancy. I was sent to the hospital for further monitoring and blood/urine tests as they suspected preeclampsia, the results came back fine so now they think it’s only gestational hypertension that needs monitoring. If it was preeclampsia they did mention they could have induced me today. Now I’ve just been asked to come back for further bp monitoring on Monday. What should I expect? I have been monitoring it at home and it’s still high so in panic mode..

Hi Mamas, I’d love to hear your postpartum stories. 🩵
What’s something that really stuck with you emotionally during those first weeks or months?
The good, the bad, the unexpected… what do you still remember?
I struggled with prenatal + postpartum anxiety myself, and I know how much those early experiences can stay with you.
