TTC #2 begins next month!

[herestoafreshstart]

So, after a very tough start with my DS (10 weeks prem, verious complications and an HG pregnancy) DH and I have finally decided to TTC next month. It's been a very tough decision and I have a lot of anxiety about it but I just know our family isn't complete yet. DS has just turned 1 and I have always wanted a small age gap so it feels like now is the time. There are various other reasons around work/money that mean that next month makes sense too.
I guess I just wanted to share here! Please tell me about your anxieties when TTC #2...
I worry things will be tough again, I worry that I won't be able to cope with 2, I worry it will take a long time, I worry about so many things. I do feel better having decided though! Anyway, just wanted to share!

I'm benchmarking to hopefully hear positive stories.... lo 18 months and deciding if the coil should come out.... but then I look at peeps with 2 kids under 2 and think I'm mad

Yeah @jkl0311 I know what you mean! My friend now has 2 with an 18 month difference and she was really worried about how it would be but says it's been much easier than she thought; she feels a lot more confident this time around! It's just very hard the second time because you can't be naive about how hard babies are!!

We too are trying for baby no 2, little one is 2 in June, so like them close together. Would have liked to try sooner but had a tough time after having him, lost quite a lot of blood after c section. I worry things might be a bit tougher this time round, just turned 37, not currently working, left my job last year after been off on maternity leave, all changes, different job etc. X
