Second baby!!

Recently found out I’m having a second baby and I have a 14 month old already. Super excited but think I will have my hands full for sure! Anyone else have a similar age gap. Any tips 😀💓

Hey! My first 2 were 20 months apart, I loved my age gap so much I was hoping for a similar one. I’m pregnant with my 4th now! And #3 and #4 will be 23 months apart.
I thinking when baby comes, keeping routine the same for the eldest and baby wearing was what made the transition smooth for us. My son genuinely lived in the carrier for the first 3 months (he came out for a bit of tummy time and cuddles with others ofc). I personally found it really easy x

Hey love! I’m in the same position-ish 😩🥰 I have a 10 and a half month old and I’m 9 weeks pregnant! I heard it gets easier after the first 4 months x

I mean, I don’t personally as my son will be 3.5 when this baby’s born, but my partners mum had him and his sister as Irish twins, there’s like a few days off a year between them and she said they were easier together than the others were a bit further apart. Xx

Hey girl! Exactly same as you! My boy is 14 months and we’re 7 weeks in with second pregnancy. Scary times for sure and was apprehensive at first but I actually think the age gap will be really sweet and I’m looking into all of the benefits and fun parts of it rather than worry’s! Always a message away x

Due November 8th, C section October 21st

Girls I’m sooooo excited!!!!! I’m suspected pre-eclampsia (not ideal) but this means my c-section has been moved to next Wednesday and I can’t WAIT to meet my baby and no longer be pregnant anymore 🥳 Is anyone else in a similar situation?

Would you be offended?

So my MIL offered to pay for me to have the weight loss jab! Bear in mind I’m 5 weeks pp and I haven’t mentioned to her about even wanting to loose weight!

The conversation came up because she offered to pay for it for my partner and then she bought me into the conversation too! Like I was a size 8 before I had my two children and I’m now probably more of a 14 and I will loose weight when I’m ready but just in no rush but now I feel like maybe I should just start now! Like I must be massive! She also before hand said I looked like I had lost weight in my face🫠

Would anyone else be offended or am I just overthinking it?

When did you get out and about?

2.5 weeks pp and I feel like the days are merging into one atm..we’ve done a few walks and popping to local shops but no car journeys yet. When did everyone get out with their newborns after birth?

The pressure

Hello! I’m 37 weeks pregnant ( 38 Friday ) first time mama and the pressure I’m feeling I don’t know if I’m closer to Labour then I think I am? I’m due the 30th October and little madam is having a good old party in there, I feel very aware of my private area like sensitive and the pressure near my butthole basically, does this mean anything or am i overthinking it?

Emotional and lost

This is my first pregnancy and the whole experience has been horrible. I see other mums enjoying their time and I hear about the pregnancy glow but I've vomited everyday throughout despite trying multiple antiemetics (but not enough to be classed as Hyperemesis Gravidarum), the pain has been crippling at times, I've had to go on maternity leave 2 months before the baby is even due because I physically can not cope anymore. From all this I've just felt lower and lower in mood as time goes on. I'm still excited for our child but at times I wish that I had never chosen to have a baby because although I knew it would be hard I didn't anticipate feeling this unwell constantly
