Hi all, i'm using this as a way to get things off my chest because i can't talk to my family about it at the minute. Any support welcome, please no harsh judgement!
So for some backstory i've just found out i'm pregnant for the second time, i have a 14 month old little boy. Me and my partner have lived with my parents since my first pregnancy. My partner works full time & i work part time, we've been in the process of looking to rent but haven't got anywhere with that yet. In an ideal world i would've wanted to start trying for a second child once we had moved out, however it didn't work out that way.
I don't want to put the stress/ burden on my parents again which is why i won't be telling them about this baby until we have moved out!
Has anyone had any experience with the 2 year age gap, how did you find it? It's come around sooner than expected so i'm quite stressed at the idea! This baby is very much wanted by us both, my boy loves other children and i'm so happy to give him a sibling. He's very very lively and doesn't sleep well, we're still co sleeping and i'm a bit worried how i will cope with him once i'm further along in my pregnancy. He currently doesn't go to nursery, i work weekends whilst he is with his dad and then i have him in the week. Would it be beneficial to have him in nursery so i have some time to myself when pregnant? or am i better off relying on my supportive family?
So sorry if this post is all over the place just looking for some words of encouragement really! Thanks
