Extremely anxious about having 2nd child

[slizzyy]

I found out I'm pregnant on Friday. I've had a lot of mixed emotions, but mainly extreme anxiety. I have a chronic illness and very VERY often need to sleep. I've been thinking that with 2 children, I won't be able to cope. Please tell me it gets better? I really need the reassurance. My eldest is going to be 2 in less than 3 months. I'm so scared.

It does get better having two children but first it’s going to get worse. Going from one to two is a big learning curve and with a chronic illness on top it’s going to be a lot. Do you have a supportive, hands on partner?

Once the eldest is nursery/school age it’ll help as you’ll be able to nap when the little one does. It’s going to be hard, but long as you have a supportive hands on partner youll be fine.
