To try or to not try 😂🙈

We have a four week-old and I'm loving it. Yes, it's harder (particularly as I had a C section), but I actually thought it'd be more difficult than this 😅 But ask me again after my husband returns to work tomorrow 🤣

my son will be 2 years old in November and we have an almost 5 month old… it’s HARD 😅 but the best at the same time 🥰 i don’t think you’ll ever be 100% sure on when you’re ready because it’s always going to be a challenge, but i will say my second birth healed my first one 😌

These comments are so lovely to read and are totally helping 😂🙈 I think to myself oh it would be lovely but then I’m like oh no I don’t know how I’d do it 🤪 especially @Jude you mentioning c section as that is what we would be doing 🫶

@Cheryl I'd say the first few days were the hardest (so far!) as there was still a lot of pain and my toddler didn't fully understand he couldn't jump on me etc. - I'm having to break the odd rule around picking him up but I'm trying to leave as much to my husband as possible. But my son only turned 2 yesterday, whereas your toddler would be nearer 3 if you got pregnant straight away, so that will help with their understanding 😊 What I absolutely love is how much my eldest adores his little brother. He is SO loving and I'm delighted we could give him a sibling. Our first was IVF so we thought he'd be an only child, so it's extra special for us to have a second.

2 year old and 6 month old and it’s the best thing we’ve ever done! They adore eachother. It’s hard going obviously we keep telling ourselves it’s for them not us!

I’m due in two weeks - exactly the same due date as our nov 22 baby 🤣🤦🏼‍♀️ so two year age gap. I freaked out for weeks when found out but super excited the closer it gets.

Almost 2 year old and 4 month old. When alone, it is challenging but if I have an extra pair of hands it is actually really enjoyable! Enjoyed newborn phase so much more second time around and my c section healed so much quicker this time. Life with 2 is non stop but they both bring so much joy 🥰

Currently pregnant with baby #2, due in April, so will have a 2 yr 5 month age gap. My little boy is also very lively, and I found the first trimester very challenging as I had bad sickness and was so tired, but still had my boy to look after. But I’m feeling so much better now, and excited to see my little boy become a big brother!

Could basically say ditto to @Kdec22, as also due in April with #2 and have been exhausted, and felt much worse this time round, but feel my whirlwind toddler needs a play friend, and didn’t want the gap too large so as they are in totally different stages x

Hubby was a no, I really wanted another, so he gave in after months of discussion and I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant. It is hard, my toddler is absolutely wild as well. He’s a runner, a climber, has zero fear, 100000% confidence and the WORST tantrums (lasting over an hour sometimes) so some days I do really struggle and I’m only half way through! I have pelvic girdle pain and a bad back, both symptoms I had in my first pregnancy but it’s worse this time. It’s going to be tough when she’s born as well but my little boy is so friendly and lovely with other children I know he’ll be great with her. I think she’ll have to be in a front carrier a lot of the time though so I can chase after my toddler and stop him doing stupid stuff 😂 Despite how hard it is I have zero regrets and if I had to make the decision again I’d make the same one
