I would love some advice and reassurance that everything is going to be fine. I am currently pregnant with baby #2, very unexpected but very much wanted. There will be a 14-month age gap between them, and so far, I have felt very optimistic. Recently, I broke the news to friends and felt taken aback by comments urging me to mentally prepare for the challenges and to take care of myself. Now, creeping anxiety and mom guilt have set in. Has anyone else experienced a close age gap and can relate to these feelings?
