Second baby!

I just had my first baby in January and found out yesterday I’m pregnant, around 6 weeks. Kind of scared, wondering if my body has healed enough and also thinking about having a toddler and newborn. We are beyond excited though, but I also worry people are going to judge because we are having another so soon. I don’t know I guess I’m just looking for other mommy’s support who have or will have 2 under 2!

Doctors recommend 12-18 months usually but there are a lot of people here with less and even after c-section (including me). There are more risks but I think the risks are still low.

It's hard being pregnant with small baby but other than that everything is smooth for me and my doctor is happy with how things are going.


So far, I haven't had explicit judgment - very interesting since everything else in my motherhood journey has been judged. I've noticed less excitement and more worry. That was generally our feeling at first too but now we ready for people to get excited with us.

I’ve got three under 2

I was 3 months postpartum when I fell pregnant

I’ve never had c section before but I did this time due to twins sharing placenta

They said as my first one I should recover quicker

I also had 3 under 2, 16 month gap between my first and twins. Twin pregnancy was absolutely fine, no complications at all, had to have a section only because they were breech.
