I had my son as a teenager, I'm pregnant again and the age gap between him and his sibling is bigger than the one we have AMA

As title says. I'm bored, and also slightly emotional as his birthday is in 2 weeks and I can't quite believe that tiny baby is about to turn 20 (also pregnancy hormones 🙈)

Same! My DD will be 21 next month and I am 6 months pregnant with my 4th!! It only feels like 5 minutes ago that I had my DD. It’s emotional. I understand how you are feeling.

My youngest ds is 18, DS2 is 26 and ds1 will be 40 in a few weeks. So similar age gaps to you both!

I had dc in my teen's, 20's, 30's and I at 43!!.
My oldest dc was 25 when I had a newborn..
A bit of a head fuck tbh!!

I'm also 6 months pregnant, with baby 3 though! It really is, I feel more emotional than I did when it was his 18th which i’m blaming pregnancy for but he really seems to have grown up recently. When he was 18 he was still in college so didn't really seem like an “adult”, he left this summer, went on his first holiday abroad with his friends, took his little brother to a concert (he paid for both tickets), has a job, where does the time go!

No questions?

Congratulations! What’s the age gap between DS1 and DS2? How do DSs feel about the arrival of their baby sibling? Is DS1 excited and looking forward to helping out with baby?

Congratulations! Has any of the advice you are given from the midwifes changed alot since you had your first? Also so far do you think the care you receive is better now or better back then ?

Oh wow @MegaAlphawhen are you due? I am due on 2nd of May! How are you feeling? I’ve had the flu over Christmas so very slowly still getting over it! It’s taking forever to clear because my immunity is slightly lower because of the pregnancy. Do you know if your sons are having a brother or a sister and how are they feeling about it?
