SCAREDDD

Just recently joined the group and currently pregnant with my second one ( unplaned and surprised!) just as my baby turned 13 months Honestly, I knew it would not be easy but seeing some of the post of mummas really struggling makes me really afraid, specially as I had some really bad baby blues with my first Any reassuring words?

I am in the exact same boat! My daughter turned one at the begging of last month and I am due with our second in July!

Following.😭 i’m due in May, my baby turns 1 next month

19 months between my two, she's now 21 mths & he's 8 wks. It's hard, it's chaos, at times so much so you will seriously wonder how you can cope...... But believe me they are fleeting thoughts. You will cope. They do stop crying, they both get fed & cleaned & sleep etc.... and there are also amazingly cute moments that make you so thankful they are close in age, like when he cries and she runs for his soother. You got this mama, it will all be worth it. Think of how close they will be as they grow up and as adults. They will always have each other. Accept that things like getting out of the house takes longer. Housework may not always get done. Don't be afraid to take help - be it your partner, friend, MIL etc. Especially your partner let him pull his weight too. Don't feel bad if your eldest goes to daycare some days as some people on here do. And do make time for yourself. And most importantly don't listen to anyone who tries to make you feel bad - you do what's best for you and yours.

@Lena thank you so so so much for those words ❤️❤️
