Second baby worries
Me and my partner have a beautiful 3 year old daughter but a few months ago decided we wanted another we were both so excited when we found out a couple of weeks ago we got pregnant, I’m about 6 weeks now and all I see on here or other social media for that matter is negative responses to having a second child (not saying people regretted it but that they wouldn’t want another like 1 is perfect) like it ruined the family dynamic or it’s so much harder you’ll have no time for yourselves or why would you want to start all over again when it’s so hard, so I guess I’m just asking all those mums out there who have got more than one if you could flood me with how amazing you’re little family is now you’ve got your squad 😂 I don’t know if it’s the hormones kicking in or the thought of giving birth again but I’m freaking out a little bit over here and would love some positivity to get me back on track for how excited I felt about adding another baby to our little family unit thank you ❤️

I've got two under two one is two and the other is 11 months. And my two-year-old has suspected ADHD and autism, and I do all of this by myself as my partner works abroad plus I have an 11 year old that home. It did seem hard, and I do have these where I feel like why did I put myself in this situation but honestly I would never change it for the world I look at my babies and my heart genuinely smiles. I love to see them together, interacting and playing. If I had just the one imagine how boring and quiet my house would be 😅
Oh we are over the moon with our second, our son is obsessed with her and we couldn’t be happier. It feels meant to be and we have an age gap of 3y4m and for us we can’t imagine a better age gap. We read a lot about babies and birth to our son and he witnessed part of our home birth so met his sister like a minute after she was born. It’s so lovely to see them interacting and I am finding this second time postpartum so much easier and we were much better prepared as we knew roughly what to expect. So a 10/10 experience for us 🤭

Anyone else want to be left alone?
39 weeks and absolutely fed up of the daily calls/messages asking “how I am” or “is the baby here yet”.
I’m as fed up and uncomfortable as I was yesterday, thanks for reminding me!

Anxiety
This is my second child and I’m riddled with anxiety this time. I can’t shift the feeling of something being wrong or something happening 😩
I had a scan at 7 weeks all looking good and heartbeat was there. I was 6+3 when she did measurements so I’ll be 7 weeks +1 today!
I have all normal symptoms I’m just struggling to shift the anxiety 😥

New pregnancy
Hey mamas!!
My baby boy just turned 7 months old today! I found out on the 11th (three days ago) that I am pregnant again. I went to the dr yesterday to get labs drawn and my hcg test confirmed it. They estimate me to be about 4 weeks, but are unsure right now since i did not have a period postpartum (exclusively breastfeeding).
I am pretty sure I have felt every emotion possible. Shocked, scared, stressed, excited, everything. The last couple days have been something.
I just turned 20 in September. I will have 2 babies before I even turn 21.
Does anyone have any words of wisdom, advice, or just any positive words for me😂
I am terrified to say the least, but also cannot wait for my beautiful boy to be the best big brother ever.
