SHELL SHOCK

Just got my BFP. DS just turned 1, 2 weeks ago. DH is dancing and I am just shocked. It took 3 years to concive DS. Oh dear help me I am freaking out.

Don't worry! It will all work out. Having 2u2 can be challenging, but it also can be an amazing experience. We found out we were expecting #2 when DS was 10 months old. We were shocked too because it had taken us a while to get pregnant the first time. I wondered how in the world I was going to handle two of them just 18 months apart. In the end it all worked better than we could have imagined. In fact, it worked so well that we aren't scared to do 2u2 a second time.

Congratulations! Remember, you have many months to prepare for life with 2u2!

I was silly, and didn't really spend time talking to moms with two little ones before DS #2 was born. I wish I'd come to this board immediately upon learning I was pregnant -- I think that if nothing else, I'd have been more emotionally prepared.

But definitely, it seems as though there's a lot of practical advice to be gained from the women on this board, and I'm sure you'll be able to devise some systems for making life easier before your second babe arrives on the scene.

I felt the same way when I first got my BFP with DS. My daughter had also just turned one. Well now that I'm 3 weeks into it, it's not horrible. It's not easy but we're figuring it out as we go. DD loves her baby brother and so go we, of course! Congrats on your BFP!

Congrats! Don't worry it will all work out and you have 9 months to let it all set in:)

We got a surprise BFP when DS1 was 11 months. I freaked out until DS2 was about an hour old, hahahaha. No one can make you feel any better but I will tell you this - it IS going to be ok! ) And I fell in love w/ my DS2 the minute he was born and we're all doing great. Life is crazy sometimes, but I wouldn't have it any other way! I'm actually SO happy they are close together (19.5 months) and it wasn't planned.

We were in the same boat (3 years + fertility treatments for J) surprise at 9 months PP with baby #2. I still have hang ups now and then, but overall I'm really excited. It'll take a little bit to get used to the idea, but I had to keep telling myself that this is so much better than hoping and praying and waiting every month. You'll do great- especially since your DH is on board!

We used fertility treatments to get pregnant with DS1 & found out I was pregnant again when he was only 5 months old. I won't lie, I was so scared the entire pregnancy about how I'd handle two, how I'd feel about a second baby, how DS1 would handle having a sibling, etc.

My 2nd baby boy arrived a little over a week ago and everything feels like it's exactly how it should be-- going from one child to two wasn't as hard as going from none to one, I fell in love with DS2 when he was born and DS1 is doing just fine. I worried SO much and it's all been fine. No, it's been wonderful. Smile

Sounds simliar to my story...both of mine were complete miracles. I'll say that most days

I came home and showed DH the test and sobbed. I was petrified. I was so scared about so many things, but i guess really, things are only as bad as you make them. It gets easier. I won't say evey day, but with every new milestone (for each child), it gets better. And i love seeing them play together now.
