Pregnancy with a one year old, how!?

Following as I'm in the same boat!!

It is definitely so challenging! With pregnancy I ended up getting a playpen just so I could contain my toddler while I was being sick about 5/6 times a day as she had started walking by 10 months. You honestly just carry on as if you’re not pregnant 😂 my toddler loves being picked up and even now with a newborn I still pick her up even if I’ve got my newborn in a sling. Every day looks different and it’s honestly so hard at times but you do just manage, mamas are amazing 💪🏼

I got pregnant on my son's first birthday and I was mostly exhausted but if you can manage it. Nap when the 1 year old naps. You can still pick them up it won't/shouldn't hurt baby. Women have been having babies close in age since the dawn of time. Eat foods that are high in protein if you can manage it to keep energy up. Don't fear the cup of coffee it's well within your caffeine limit for the day. Drink water regularly. As for naps, try to sleep train early on it'll be a life saver. My daughter would drink 2 ounces then I would leave her in the crib and she would fall asleep within 5 minutes. It'll get exhausting when the little one drops down to 2/ 3 naps a day because the older 1 will only need 1 nap so you'll have at least one kid awake at a time lol that's when the tiredness really hits but at least you won't be pregnant at that point lol

I got pregnant when my son was 9 months old. My toddler was a big baby and continued being large and I picked him up all the time and nothing happened to my baby (he’s over 2 stone (12kg). Do some exercise when u can and nap when ur 1 year old naps. Drink the coffee! Or even lucozade! When my toddler tantrums when I sorting baby out I leave him to it, he’s just gotten to the hitting stage so he’s a little harder to just leave alone while I feed/change baby so I try get him involved. He shakes the bottle, gets me the nappies and helps bath his brother. If not then I give him a snack or a drink and he usually stays calm

Thank you everyone, so excited but just so overwhelmed and scared 🤣 my first pregnancy was not fun and postpartum was somehow worse so I'm just a bit apprehensive about everything going into this second pregnancy

It sounds silly to say but you do just get on with it! You get used to the fact you have to carry a 20lb+ toddler around as well as have a big bump 😂 I love the challenge

My daughter was 6 months when I got pregnant again and now she’s 14 months and sister c section date is in 15 days 😂 it truly wasn’t horrible just exhausting because she wasn’t walking nor crawling and I’m just a jungle gym 😂

Playpen, ask for help (if you have safe support), I stopped breastfeed when baby turned 1 year and that helped too, stay away from high stress environments and ppl, peace is so important during this time.

I’m 27 weeks pregnant and my son is 15 months, it’s tough but you just manage as it’s life now x

My daughter is 1 am currently 14 weeks my son is 4 and my eldest are 13 and 12 …fact is am suffering this does not feel like a good idea at all lol

I got pregnant at 7m PP. She's 13m now. Luckily she does not try to crawl out of her pack n play and we have it at the middle setting. She does however whack me in the mornings so I guess she doesn't see a need to. We are fixing up her room and we have agreed on using a 5ft floor play yard as her bed so I think I'll be good? 🤔 I bathe her in the sink still cuz our tub is in the ground so bending is hard 🥲 Hopefully she can shower with me soon Definitely hard though. Today she is teething and just wants to be held all day. Which I get but my back 😵‍💫 Morning sickness was rough too. You just gotta push through it and look forward to when hubby doesn't work 🤣

@AmberA🌈👶🏽❤🦋 if you have the ability try going to a chiropractor for the sciatica. It helped me soooo much throughout my pregnancy

@AmberA🌈👶🏽❤🦋 sorry hun if you have insurance they should cover your breastpump and might cover chiropractic work, as for clothes for yourself pp check Facebook there are a couple of pages with deals on baby and postpartum stuff I got a pack of nursing bras for $14 on the baby deals, steals, glitches and more page. Search that. It's obviously not a true solution but no reason to pay more than you have to for things.
