To think that 2 babies under 1 is going to be hard

Hi all,

I found out that I am pregnant, exactly one year on from when I conceived my first baby. My due date is literally his birthday! Whilst I am very happy to be expanding my family, I am quite nervous at what's to come! I also feel this immense guilt that my DS isn't having enough time with us before a new baby comes, I love him so so much and I really don't want this pregnancy to have any negative impact on him. My husband thinks it's fantastic and that he will have a little playmate to grow up with. Husband is actually buzzing. He's a very hands on father and will be a stay at home dad when I go back to work so I'm very lucky in that sense, but am I being unreasonable to think that this is harder with such a small age gap between my babies? Also if you have any first hand experience of this PLEASE give me some insight from your own experiences!

Thank you so much in advance!!

Congratulations! I'd imagine it will be really hard but I'm sure you will manage.

I had twins 18 months after my first. It was difficult, but doable. They are all late teens now and super close. They really grew up together. Honestly if he is being the primary career after you go back to work, he will be doing the hard yards.
