anyone pregnant? Just found out few days ago. Am very anxious and worried as this was not planned. I feel irresponsible as I feel it is hard with one baby and don't know how will be able tondo this with two. I feel bad because I don't want DS1 to feel neglected in any possible way. Iv been feel pretty sad few days.
Anyone else going thru the same thing ?

Re: Pregnant again
I believe you said your son is 7 months in another post. So he will be about 16 months when your LO is born. This gives you a lot of time to prepare.
You can read books with LO, make freezer meals, have clothes washed and ready to go. You may be more prepared than you think. You should also be able to reuse a lot of blankets, sleepers, etc.
It will be very tough but hopefully your two LOs will be great friends. H&H 9 months.
i think it's finally starting to sink in a bit. Able to accept it and deal with it more rather than sulk. Debating to stop working all together now or keep going, currently I'm part time and baby is in daycare.
Hope you guys are all good and well!!
Thanks for the support !!!
Do what is best for your family. If you can, I would advise you keep working and try to save all that money for a healthy savings account. Maybe the funds can help cover bills while you're on maternity leave. (Of course getting rid of daycare costs helps save money too.) And if you want you can always stop working a month or two before you deliver to have special alone time with your DS.
I get the impression you will stop working when the second LO comes along. You will definitely be busier than ever. And probably dealing with some temper tantrums and an infant. It will be hard, but of course, they're worth it.
The "plan" was to have them close in age, we just didn't expect to get knocked up quite so fast as it took a bit to get pg with my 6 month old.
I am excited about it but sometimes like in the middle of the night when I've been thinking too much I get a little panicky. Every worry or concern I have I make sure to talk it over with DH. He is a very calm, down to earth person and is a big help with my worries.
Like others have said I already have most of the baby/ newborn stuff around so there's one less worry, for me anyway.
In my case, at my pp checkup I let my ob know what we had in mind and she was very informative on the pros/cons of having pg so close together. Having that info has helped keep my mind at ease a bit, health wise.
It will be tough at times of course but it will also be such an amazing experince.I think, lol idk I've never been through it before! I've heard of lots of people w/babies close in age where everything turned out fine but don't know of any IRL.
I'm just rambling and don't think any of this info is actually helpful but more so you know that there is another person out here also pg w/a baby. Good luck to you!!
Finding a balance was hard at first. There's moments everyday where someone is crying longer than necessary because someone else needed something too. I try to alternate every other cry as to who I cater to first.
my point of all this is: feel however you feel and know that it will work itself out.

Congratulations!
