Thanks for reading, sorry if this is a long one. I'm 8 weeks pregnant at the moment and we also have our lovely DD who is 7.5 months old. We always wanted our first two close in age, but perhaps not this close! We are aware it is going to be tricky but I would love to hear about how other people found it and if anyone had any tips!
On a side note- were your first and second babies very similair? Our DD is a different baby now but life was incredibly difficult for the first 4 months- she had colic and would cry 5 hours a night non- stop, no medication or cranial osteopathy etc worked, she had very bad silent reflux with refusal to feed so she has had several hospital admissions and been on all sorts of medications and formulas, generally a very high needs baby who requires constant stimulation and attention. We were almost completely broken at the point where she wouldn't feed and I was treated for PND. I suppose I'm quite scared that our second baby may also have colic and silent reflux? She was breech and I had a successful ECV and a fast 3 hour labour with ventouse delivery so I've always wondered if some of her problems were linked to this ( I remember the cranial osteopath commenting she was unhappy because of the above reasons).
Sorry for the essay, thank you for any replies 😊
