You know the drill,take a test and take it from there
Don’t be so harsh on yourself btw

Don't stress. I've just had baby number 2, there's a 13 month age gap, it's not so bad. Although it was a shock initially!

Lipstick I’m the same! Don’t know what came over me Blush and thank you, just been a tough day with dd today
Names goodness that’s lovely! Are you coping okay? Have always liked the idea of a smaller age gap so they always have someone to play fight with

If it was just today you still have time for the MAP.

In the same boat as you girl :( meant to be due on AF tomorrow, no signs at all, spotting about a week and half ago. Ds2 is 3 month old. Shitting my panties... we'll hand hold together.

hoppityhophop · 16/11/2017 22:57

Oh swish yes handholds Shock I know it will be ok in the end if I were to end up pregnant, but I just hated pregnancy last time and had a rough birth Confused

Oh bless you :( it's so fearing. Ds1 birth was terrible so I was so scared with ds2. I found it so easy and not so painful luckily so I know id be ok birth wise. It's everything else I'm not sure about Hmm we can afford a 3rd child but stretching our finances alot we definitley cannot fit another child in our house at all.

I'll be testing tomorrow if AF doesn't arrive by then.

When are you testing?

hoppityhophop · 16/11/2017 23:46

That’s reassuring to know about the 2nd births my mums always said the same that I was a long tough labour and my sister was really quick.
Oh god I hadn’t even thought about finances yet, I’m still on mat leave. Not sure boss would appreciate me coming back pregnant again...
oh dear does that mean you will need to move? We would be ok for a little bit (2 bed flat) but don’t think we could afford to move for a while

Ooh good luck with that! Please report back if it’s a bfp!
Not sure yet don’t think I’m due af until early December now

I was already pregnant by that time!
My younger 2 are nearly 13months apart

Best thing ever
They are so close it's beautiful to see

Did this with very little support from fam

Hubby was working full time and our first dc has health problems and was in and out of hosp for a very long time

hoppityhophop · 17/11/2017 22:36

Wow baubles you are admirable!
That’s what I want for my dd a close sibling. Feeling less scared of it today and more hopeful. Ah well wait and see I guess!

@hoppityhophop it's only early days but we're managing ok so far with the small age gap. I'm expecting the early years to be tough, but hoping there will be some advantages in having them close in age and able to do similar activities etc when they're a bit older. I do think these things always work out ok in the end. I was worried about it all when I first found out I was pregnant and going on mat leave again so soon etc but circumstances changed recently in my job meaning it was actually pretty good timing the way things have worked out. I wish I hadn't spent so much of my pregnancy worrying about it all.
