For the last few days i have felt faint.... I have a 5 month old (who took forever to concieve) and have only just returned to work.. so i didnt think much of it. Thought id check (there are pregnancy tests everywhere in this house) and .. 2 lines. So anyone out there with 2 little ones 13 ish months apart? How the hell will we cope (tell me it will all be ok :\

You will be fine, you are just getting all the sleepless nights and nappies out of the way at once. Smile Congratulations! My brothers and I are each one year apart, we all get on really well and know each other's friends as we were all at school together.
People will be shocked and appalled that you had sex 'so early' though. I recommend just looking smug at that point. Good luck!

Wooooo-ooow! Congrats! I'd give my right bfeeding boob (which works a lot better than the left one too!) to have been in your shoes! It will be fantastic for when they are older! Smile

Congratulations! It will be fine, it will be hard for a few months, but it gets easier and easier. My first two were not quite so close in that they were 15 months apart, but it is great having two so close.

I remember the tiredness once the second was born and the endless nappy changes. But I just kept reminding myself, it would have been the same with twins. Just sleep when you can, every time you can!

You won't have the same jealousy issue that others have when there is a bigger age gap. Your firstborn will hopefully still be having daytime naps when the second arrives too.

Congratulations again.
