I’m 38 weeks pregnant! Can honestly say and don’t want to put you off but it’s been hard. My little one will be 15 months old and I get no rest. I can’t wait to give her a bestie for life but yeah I’m done with being pregnant lol
I'm 31+1 weeks pregnant and have found it so much easier this time round because I've had my toddler to distract me! If this pregnancy goes well I'm sure we'll end up having a third in the future 🙈
I’m 23 weeks pregnant and the start was exhausting. Running around after a toddler with the first trimester symptoms sent me into full survival mode. It’s gotten easier now but it’s still hard work and I’ve got a while to go yet! I struggle particularly with my hormones when I’m pregnant so that’s probably been the hardest part for me x
Don’t let the ‘I’m still making sense of the toddler stage’ hold you back. Once you have the hang of that another stage comes along 😂 xx
I'm also in my late 30s and wanting another. We haven't started trying just yet but hoping to in the next couple of months. It only took 2 months to conceive our first so I'm hoping the second is the same, however, I'm well aware it could take a lot longer with my age, so don't want to wait to long x
I’ve recently found out I’m about 6 weeks and am struggling with it so far. The exhaustion has hit me so early I feel too so I think that and hormones are making me feel that I should have waited longer as it wasn’t planned x
If it helps i got planned pregnant at 8m pp with my eldest but sadly lost them at 5 weeks 🤍, no one was concerned though. Caught our 🌈 Nov 23 baby 5 months later when I was 13m pp (so basically your timeframe now) and my girls are 21 months apart, eldest turns 3 on thurs and honestly its been amazing watching them grow together so far 🥰. We always wanted about a 2y age gap so perfect for us. The only thing i would say if you are on the fence is pregnancy is tough not only with a Toddler but a transitioning 1-2yo especially as they are still quite dependant on you as you will know atm. You also feel a bit guilty when massive that you cant keep up with them in the park and such. But then again I was still crawling around softplay with her at 38 weeks pregnant, so you find ways 😆. The first year can be challenging but honestly you find a new normal of juggling the two quite quickly. Just get your eldest to help with baby anyway they can 😊. If its what you want, then go for it, its so worth it! 💖
Also FYI i turned 36 in Jan so also didnt want to hang about much either anyway haha! Also another con is you cant nap during pregnancy with a toddler around like you did first time🙈. So if you do get pregnant then never feel guilty about TV days in the later stages, you will need them 😅
Have you thought about not actively trying but just not using anything to prevent it? Just that way you aren't stressing about trying which can lower the chances I'm personally not trying nor pregnant but that's just my preference because I have a 6 year old and a 14 month old I plan to wait till my youngest is 3 until we attempt to try, but without sounding rude I have time on my side still as I am 29 in April But if you feel it'll work for you and your family then definitely go for it!
