To ask for some advice?

[Willoway]

Hello all,
Not exactly an aibu but posting for traffic. NC for this as have family and friends on here.

This morning I took a pregnancy test and it has come back positive. My DP and I are over the moon, if not a little shocked. This baby was very much planned, but we're still a little shocked if that makes sense.

My question is we have a DS who is almost 2. I was wondering if anyone had any advice? I'm a bit nervous on having two young children.

Thank you!

Congratulations!
What kind of advice do you need? My son was 2.5 when his brother was born, you tend to find with your first born you can be completely led by the baby, whereas with your second the baby has to kind of fit in with you, iyswim. Although your oldest is still quite young so at least you don't have to worry about a school run. It's hard but it's nice when they get a bit older as they have each other for company and someone to play with

How lovely. Congratulations.

Congratulations! there is no ideal time/age gap - you will be fine

Congratulations OP.

3 year gap between my boys, I was worried I wouldn't love the 2nd the same as the first, you love them so much you can't imagine having love left for a 2nd, but you just do, it's exactly the same.

It's the same when the 2nd comes along, you don't know how you'll manage but you just do. I'd make sure your first is sleeping well, right through, is not too clingy towards you that he could be jealous, talk a lot to him about the new baby, that he'll have a playmate etc, so he can be excited, bring a present from newborn to brother

Thank you all for the replies! I'm not really sure what advice I'm after, I guess anything that will help make life easier (if that's possible 😂) ot anything you wish you'd known before having your second
