in February 2024 Babies 🇬🇧

Just found out that I’m unexpectedly pregnant 😬😬

I’ve been feeling a bit under-the-weather recently so randomly decided to take a pregnancy test and had a huge shock when it came back as positive. I think the age gap will be 21 months and I’m absolutely terrified. We did plan to have another but were hoping for more like a 2.5yr age gap, my 13 month old is a real handful and the thought of having 2 under 2 is so scary. I also had bad postnatal depression and feel like I’ve only started feeling more like myself and enjoying motherhood and the thought of plunging back into newborn life is making me feel so so anxious. Any words of reassurance from anyone out there?

I have no reassurance but we are the in the same boat! Sending love xx

I can totally relate, my little ones will be 19 months apart and I’m both excited and scared. I had bad PPD and am also so worried I’d be down in the dumps again this time around. I’m trying to take each day as it comes for now.

Same! I’m due in October. Feel so nervous but also excited too. Do you have a support network?

I’m feeling so reassured to know that I’m not the only one, I’d forgotten how lonely the early days of pregnancy are. I’m so stressed out remembering how awful I found the newborn phase and just thinking about the logistics of looking after a newborn plus a toddler

We will have the same age gap. Due in November. One of my friends girls have exactly the same age gap, and they're so close, it makes me excited to see that bond. Also remember a lot will change over then next 7/8 months with your 13 month old xxx

I’m due my second in a matter of weeks, they will be 14/15 months apart. I’m anxious about the dynamic change, especially with how clingy he’s been recently but I know once they get a bit bigger they will be the best of friends and it will be so worth it ❤️
