I have a 5 month old baby and have just found out I'm pregnant again. It took us a while to conceive our first and we're both in our late thirties so decided not to go back on the pill but I never thought it would happen so quickly. I guess in an ideal world, I would have got pregnant again in about 6 months time.
I really don't know how to feel about it all. I remember the excitement and joy when we got the positive test with our first but this time I'm just in shock. I don't want this pregnancy and baby to distract from our current child and mean that she misses out on stuff but I also want to be able to love the new baby as much as the one we already have.
I also am stressing about work as I would have only been due to go back to work about a month before this baby is due, and although my husband has a good job, I'm wondering what this will mean for us financially.
Please can someone who has been through this just tell me that it will be ok!!
