You will be fine you got this mama!! I had 2 under 2 and honestly it was the best thing!! Don’t get me wrong their were challenging days but when I look back the two of them always had each other to play and we got into a good routine with craftings and walks and we went to charity shops used fb marketplace eBay etc and more home cooking. I did do some part time work here and there on my partners days off once my youngest was 6 months old and I later had a 3rd child and I feel like he is missing a play friend at home when the other two are at school so I’m now due our 4th! I felt the same as you though how are we going to manage. You just do and it’s so worth it when you can see how close they are. My oldest two are still like best friends and have one another and school and home they are always making up games to play together. It’s so lovely I’m so glad I had two close together now. It’s been the best years of my life seeing them grow up together. It will be fine. You can do this.
Ah, pregnancy... So many emotions, so little time. Sit down and have a snack. Maybe a decaf tea. Recognize this as a totally normal pregnancy-related freak out and know everything is going to be ok. 🙂 Yes, it's going to be a lot of work early on, but it will get better from there. There will be problems that come up, but you and your husband will work together to solve them. Finances will be tight, but you already have all of your gear from the first time around. A company will hire you when you're ready to go back. You don't even have to mention how many kids you have or their ages during your interview process. Millions of moms have small children and work outside the home. If your anxiety doesn't pass after a while or is really distressing you, mention it to your ob at your next visit.
Everything will be ok , you could do work from home , to save money look on Vinted , fb marketplace etc , get out and about on. Walks , to the park etc x
