Second babies

Allow your body to heal, spend as much time learning baby number one and spend quality time with your partner/spouse as having babies is known to put a strain on relationships. Recommended time by the medics is from when baby turns 18months old and above📌
We fell pregnant (by accident) 3 months post partum 😬 I cried when I found out. We had a failed contraceptive and failed morning after pill so once I got over the shock, I told myself it’s clearly what is meant to happen so just go with it. I won’t lie, it was tough being pregnant but not healed from the first and I struggled a LOT with basic things like walking for more than a few mins which was really hard for me as I was a routine walker, every day for an hour. BUT I didn’t get morning sickness, or sore nipples or the hormonal swings as bad and labour was honestly a breeze - over and done in 2 hours from first contractions at home to bubs arriving, no pain relief. They’re now almost 1 and 2 now and I couldn’t be happier it happened this way. Yes it is hard, yes it is against DR recommendations but if you feel ready then go for it.
@Hannah You are right about that. If it had happened by accident and not planned, you just need to make a decision for YOU and family. ❤️ However if you planned to have a baby when you think you will be ready, you will need to make sure you take proactive steps in ensuring it doesn’t happen when you are not ready.💝
@Temmy definitely! Although from first hand experience even if you take all the right precautions, sometimes the universe just has other plans for you 😂 I know it’s rare and what happened to us is more the “exception” but it’s good for people to have that in the back of their minds!
18 months or more is best to give your body time to heal.
