does anyone have a newborn and a toddler?

my ds is 4 months old next week and i am in my first year of uni. i am late and i am worried to death i might be pregnant. ther's no reason why i should be, but then there wasn't the last time i got pregnant, so now i keep thinking i am. haven't plucked up the courage to get a test yet and although i do keep getting broody when i see newborn babies (weird when mines only 4 months) i can't help thinking it would be one big struggle if almost impossible!! tbh there's only a small part of me that thinksi might be pg but i just wanted to know if anyone had found themselves in a similar situation?

Take a deep breath and a test. I hope things turn out the way you want them. Take care of yourself xxx

nappyaddict. Wasn't a student but only 18 mnths between my two. It's hard but not impossible and my H was worse than useless for support. As Indith says take a test. Try not to worry too much.

Nappyaddict, I did it. I started uni with a 5.5 year old, which I was still breastfeeding, and a 2.5 year old. Not just any old course either: a full time midwifery degree course (which, I'm still working at btw), i.e. shifts and 37.5 h a week on placement. I'm still managing to feel like I'm a good mum too [proud mum emoticon]. I'm sure you'd manage if you had to , but x my fingers for you to make sure that you're late period is only that, a late period.
Lots of luck and all the best.

oops I meant a 5.5month old. Bf'ing for 5.5 years would be a bit long!

oops, i know that feeling well NA, i was 10 weeks with ds before i plucked up the courage to do the test. i got pregnant when dd was 9 months old, i was still bfing, i was working, dd wasn't sleeping at all and it was coming up to Xmas so i told myself 'of course your sick and tired, you're run down!' then after Xmas i wasn't working, i stopped bfing and dd started sleeping through the night and i was still sick and tired so had to face facts!

ds is 3 months tomorrow and dd is 21 months and its tiring but not nearly as bad as i thought it would be. tbh the pregnancy while running around after a toddler was so hideous that actually having a baby too look after is a piece of P*@s in comparison!
