Hi I have an 8 month old and have just found out I'm pregnant again. I'm excited but also extremely nervous. Was hoping for some advice/tips on how others have coped?

Also I am still breastfeeding my first - I assume I can continue to feed Aslong as I have milk still? X

Hi,
I have an 8 month old and I’m ttc whilst still breastfeeding. Advice I’ve been given is that it is safe to carry on but make sure you’re taking all vitamins so your body is able to cope with pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Good luck!

Hi, congratulations! Found out I pregnant again when my baby was 5 months old 😱 my newborn practically lived in a carrier, I had a moby wrap, was great as I could run around after my crazy, just started walking 13 month old. And also accept all the help that is offered to you by friends and family 🙂

I think I'm more nervous about telling people like work and family than I am about having another baby so soon. Sounds ridiculous as I normally don't care what people think but for some reason I do now.
