2nd baby

Hey friends. I just found out lastnight that I am pregnant again. My son will be 2 next week. We had so many fertility issues, it took us 3.5 years to conceive the first time. For 2 years we've used protection except this one time. And now I'm pregnant. I had a horrible pregnancy. Hyperemesis, gestational diabetes, anemia, high blood pressure, the whole 9 yards. So, I am terrified. Is this a mistake? Will I be okay again? Can I survive another c section and raise a newborn and toddler ? Will my pregnancy be horrible again? Will my son adjust to the changes? Ladies. I am losing my mind and am not okay. Are these normal feelings? I do not know what to do with myself. I am overwhelmed and scared.

Each pregnancy is different. Try to worry less and focus on staying healthy.

I’m due my second in 3 weeks and my daughter will turn 2 next week! So I can’t speak on it yet…but I will say with pregnancy, you can do it. I was so very sick with my first and ended with a c section. I was very very sick with this one and expected to be vomiting the whole pregnancy, but it lasted only a little into the second trimesters my first had FGR, this baby seems to be measuring “slightly larger.” All that to say, every pregnancy different. Ask for help when you need it! Of course I have some nerves for the first bit of a newborn and my very active toddler, but I’m excited to give my daughter a sibling and grow our family. I think it helps to reflect on the last 2 years and realize how fast it truly goes and how even the “hard” things pass and littles move on. Congratulations on your pregnancy! Nerves are real but that baby is a blessing 🤍
