zdeal · January 2015

I have a 8 months old daughter and im pregnant again . Do any one have advice or helpful tips? Im scared and dont know what to expect.

welly01 · January 2015

I'm sure there are others that will be 2 under 2, but there is also a board for 2u2 if you want to check it out. https://forums.thebump.com/categories/two-under

I'm sure it will be tough, but lots of people do it all the time. Good luck!

I have a 5 year old, and a 2 year old and I'm pregnant with my third child. You will be fine. You will figure it out quick

My son just turned two 12-26 and i just found out i was pregnant today with a surprise baby. My hubby and i are ok with the new baby but we are trying to figure this out so any advice would be helpful! We have been trying to transition to a big boy bed for weeks, just had our son put in a very expensive daycare, and had a huge potty training regression so any advice would go a long way.

YUP , my DD will be 10 months this month ! I'm nervous excited to have 2U2 !

rubylovebug · January 2015

My DD is 9 months old, we were trying to be here (had an early loss when DD was 7 months old) & I'm really excited for 2u2. I know it will be difficult, but it seems like a fun challenge, we can go through it together.

Yes, I have a 9 month old. I'm glad we're getting the baby stage done at the same time, but I know it's going to be hard work.

@tsmith312 & @cruisegirl28 - It just makes me so happy to see our March babies. M14 represent.

I have a 15 month old, and will therefore have 2 under 2 for about a month. I think it will be hard for maybe 6-9 months until DD becomes a little more independent (and the new baby becomes more of a baby and less of a newborn -- those first 8-12 weeks are HARD)

ravenclaw1 · January 2015

I was an S13 mom too. My daughter will turn 2 shortly after this baby is due

lillyq1982 · January 2015

DS is 16 months old, so he will be turning 2 at the same time as this baby is born (I really hope they don't have the same birthday!). I was a S13 mom as well (DS was born in August though!)

xnbride · January 2015

Yes. My daughter is 9 months but because she was a micropreemie developmentally she is more like a 6 month old. I'm am nervous too. Her and her brother are 21 months apart and it has been pretty easy though so that is somewhat reassuring.

tiffard · January 2015

I will have 2u2 as well. DS will be around 1yr9mo when this baby comes. I'm really excited about it but nervous about the extreme exhaustion I'm sure to face.

So good to know there are several of us in the same boat!

OliverSweet · January 2015

When my middle daughter was 8 months old, I found out I was pregnant with my 3rd daughter. It was exhausting. I just took it one day at a time. The new baby was the easy part, it was the terrible 2's and 3's of the other one that killed me LOL!

jlessing · January 2015

My daughter just turned 13mo and I'm due in sept.its scary and exciting

korileighb · January 2015

My daughter turned 2 on 12/1.....

kajordan09 · January 2015

I have a 3 year old and a 17 month old...my two are 20 months apart. Having two close has it's challenges, but it's great seeing them grow up together.

JimMeBabies3 · January 2015

I have a ds that's almost 3. And dd just turned 4 months! My edd is only 3 days after her 1st b-day.

ClaireCecilia · January 2015

I will have 2 under 2 for about 3 months. We conceived a few days before our youngest daughter turned 1. I am freaking out!

ameradith0321 · January 2015

My LO is 6 months and I'm very excited for 2 under 2. I'm sure it will be rough some times but it is so worth it I know!

Same! @PixiesDust, my first was Oct 13 too! I remember you! I will have 2u2 for about a month also.

KMck27 · January 2015

My DS will turn 2 about 2 weeks before my edd. I feel like terrible 2's may have jumped the gun and hoping the transition from only to older will be a smooth one

obie1680 · January 2015

My DS will almost be 2 1/2 by the time #2 is here. It's hard to wrap my head around because I would like to cut back on working right now I am FTWM so we r figuring out what we can do. But nervous since my son is such a mamas boy too always wants me picking him up. But mothers have done this for many years so I'm sure I'll figure it out!

emmy236 · January 2015

I have a 19 month old. He'll be just over 2 when this one is born. Our biggest goal was to have them two grade levels apart and we'll just make that with this one.

echo136 · January 2015

My first two are just about 21 months apart and then this one and my second will be 20 months apart. It's not terrible. I can't speak to kids being closer. Two in diapers sucked a bit - we do cloth and I was washing so often but then my son potty trained at just under 2.5 and it was great.

lokatelynve · January 2015

My ds just turned a year old a few days ago. He will be 18 months when this jelly bean is born. It's going to be difficult but seeing as I'm an irish twin with a brother 10 months younger I know how fun it can be from the child's point of view to have a close sibling. I'm very excited!

ericagraham · January 2015

Our timing is the same! Little guy will be two or so weeks shy of his 2nd birthday when #2 arrives. Will be tough at first but so worth it.

JimMeBabies3 · January 2015

My dd turns 1, three days before my edd. She was 3 months when I got pregnant again. Very big surprise for us! We also have a ds who is almost 3.

Stephanne1221 · January 2015

I have an 8th month old also and I'm pregnant again!! Omg, I cried when I first found out. I'm super excited now, but also nervous. Eeek!

jdsam · January 2015

You ladies will be very busy! I have a 17 month old and pregnant again. They will be 25 months apart

I wish you both the best of luck with your pregnancy and little ones

Sammyross082011 · January 2015

I have an 8 month old and 2 year old

onewayticket · January 2015

DS will be 22 months when this baby is born. I'm scared as hell. DH is so excited. His brother is 1.5 years older and they are really close. He wanted our kids to be close in age.

Will's Gal · January 2015

Don't force it mom. I am also pregnant with my second child and my son will be three on the 21st. I think if u push yourself and ur little one too much plus a new baby on the way, you will go crazy. Enjoy the ride. Potty training is hard and he is only two, you have time. I let my son know he has to set a good example for his new sibling and it gets him excited to do things like potty on his own. Give it a try. Hope this helps. Good luck

becky0814 · January 2015

Hi all congratulations

I have 2 girls, oldest is 6 and little one is just turned 7 months. Number 3 due date is around 1st September.I am scared as I know it will be hard but so worth it and I have more than enough love to give. If any one has any tips or advise I'm all ears

JackieN524 · January 2015

I have one year old DD. I can't imagine how I will get through the day with both babes and zero sleep but hopefully it will work out better than I'm anticipating.

jenniferurs · January 2015

My daughter will be 5 months old tomorrow. Please pray for my uterus.

semisweetprincess712 · January 2015

My fiancé has a two year old and an 11 month old and I just found out I'm pregnant. Talk about a hand full.

veltemama · January 2015

It's rough but at the same time a bit easier. Think your already in baby mode, diapers etc.

veronica121679 · January 2015

My daughter is 5, my soon to be stepson is 7, and I'm due in sept! I have no clue what to expect!!! 8-}

momofsweetps · January 2015

My first was 6 months old when I found I was pregnant with #2. They are 15 months apart and I loved it. I am expecting #6, he/she will be 2 years younger than my youngest. My #4 & #5 are 23 months apart. You can do this, it will just be exhausting for the first couple of years.
