Just found out I’m pregnant again

I havent gone through the same, I have a 5mo rn and I was really scared of 2 under 2 so I started asking other moms (strangers with little kids who were giving them a hard time) if they thought it would be better to space them out more and so many said that they loved how the kids got along with the smaller gap. They liked not having to start over. Parents who had kids further apart said starting over with shit like diapers and feeding sucked. The small age gap means your fresh on all the know how and you can learn from mistakes quickly with both kids, you'll already have a great sense of what works best in your household for each new development.

Also here are all my tips and tricks so far: while they're super small if you have family whose opinions you dont want getting in your kids head, let them help now before the kids can understand them bc if you get to sleep it's worth it. As long as your baby is safe lots of things are worth it for sleep Pampers are too expensive but if you use them you need to also use the pampers app to save a few bucks here and there. Kirkland's is the cosco brand that's just a slightly older model of huggies almost no difference, works great. If you're US east cost wegmans brand supposedly are cheaper than that and non bulk but Idk yet how good they are. My baby gets constipated but works it out really well in a jumper, however this means occasionally having to throw the whole seat of the jumper in the wash. The more the kiddo moves and plays the more they will keep their digestive system regular. I have more but the comments have a limit. Feel free to message me anyone

I have no experience but everyone says to knock out my second now I personally want to wait at least two years and everyone says I’m crazy for wanting to wait. I guess it really is just based on preference! Part of my reasoning is me and my little sister are three years apart and we get along so well now, maybe not growing up but now she’s my best friend! Congratulations on your new little one ! 🥳💞 also happy belated birthday!

I have 2 little boys had my first at 20 and got pregnant three months postpartum had my second at 21 just under a year between them my youngest is now 4 months and I’m not going to lie to you it’s tiring them first few weeks of sleepless newborns nights and a toddle adjusting to all the changes were the hardest and just getting used to everything trying to split myself into 2. but it’s definitely getting easier baby is sleeping better and doesn’t need constant attention and my elder one is used to it all and back in routine. Try not to stress about it too much you’ll be fine and honestly it’s so lovely having 2 so close in age they’re already best friends would have it any other way x

Congratulations! ❤️ I cannot comment from a personal experience with this, but I know several women who have and they’re doing great. Just remember that you are stronger than you know and so capable. If you have any concerns financially, materially, or support-wise, I’m happy to find some local resources for you. ❤️
