don’t know what to do.

I just found out i’m pregnant again, i have a 7 month old and it’s just me and him while my partner works- he’s a chef and works 9am-12am most days- i can just able handle everything with my son and dealing with housework. I’m stressed knowing i’m pregnant again and don’t know what to do. I’d be struggling to juggle 2 under 2. What should i do?

You and your partner need to try to decide what is right for you and your family. Your 7 month old will be around 1 year 4 months at that point do you think that’s something you can cope with having a newborn and an almost 1 1/2 year old? At the end of the day the decision isn’t easy either way with what you decide but you’ve got a bit time to decide. My 2 almost 3 year old goes to nursery 2 and 1/2 days a week and I’m expecting my baby to be born sometime in May so I know them couple days whilst he’s at nursery will help maybe that’s something you could consider?

Just think about how miserable you would be with the two of them. There is no shame in the a word, and it’s better to do that - there is a chance any of them are going to be neglected , so the better option is to not even take that chance. It’s tough being pregnant with a toddler. It’s hard enough having just one kid!! Imagine looking after another… not in this cruel world

@Denisa I don’t think jumping to the word miserable is really the right thing to do in this situation, yes pregnancy with a toddler is tiring I’m almost at the end of my pregnancy now with a toddler so I have first hand experience but I don’t think the way you worded your reply was necessarily the right way

I had two under two yes it was difficult in the beginning but I wouldn't have it any other way. Now they are 4 & 5 and they are best of friends always busy playing together it's so nice 🙂 they won't even sleep apart from each other 😅

If there any way your partner could look into a family friendly chef job?? My partner originally did those lovely long hours coming home for about and hour before the evening shift. He now works 7am - 4pm.
