Scared

Has anyone else got a toddler aswell? I have a 2 year old and I’m 5 weeks pregnant but I’m so scared of not being able to cope with having two children and the mum guilt on my first. There’s so much we want to do this year go on first family holiday abroad and do more this cinema with her being older. I just don’t know what to do I’ve already started feeling sick and had hyperemesis for two months with my first

My little boy is only 14 months and I found out yesterday that I’m pregnant. I feel guilty too, he’s still a baby and I can’t imagine him suddenly being the big brother. I’m worried about not being able to be fully present for him. BUT, there are so many positives to having children close in age and so many people do it. I do know how you feel though ❤️

@Hannah oh bless you it’s so scary isn’t it! But they are blessings and there are positives too I’m just focusing more on the negatives xx

Im 10 months PP, my first will be 18 months when this baby is born, im scared, but mostly excited

I’m in the same situation! My girly will be 2 at the end of April, I’m so nervous, more so about the pregnancy with a toddler than a newborn with her 😂

I also have a 14 month old and feeling the same super guilty, and also nervous of how il cope, but I’m an only child and I really don’t want him to be so I am excited that he gets to have a sibling x

Same here. My little boy is two in February and just discovered I’m pregnant. Super excited of course but wondering how I’m going to cope with this pregnancy this time around. My boy still seems so little but I know he’s going to be the best big brother

Very much me!! I’m so relieved to see posts like this. My little boy is 2 in a couple of weeks, he’s absolutely wild and still doesn’t sleep well. Found out we’re expecting again this morning, it’s a big shock, totally unplanned. I’ve cried so much today. They’ll have to share a room as our house is tiny & that alone is giving me so much anxiety! x

Yes! My little boy is 15 months old and will be almost 2 when baby arrives. I wanted them close in age so they can grow up together and I can be done with having kids! I'm under no illusion that it's going to be tough, but there's no perfect age gap. I'd rather just get it over and done with 🤣

Yes I’m nervous about this. My son is 16 months and very active (he’s a runner!) but I had severe SPD in my first pregnancy requiring crutches. I was essentially housebound for most of my pregnancy. Trying to do physio ahead of getting it to slow it down this time but so worried about how I’ll look after my son and worried about him missing out!
