Support/Advice for upcoming baby no 2

[newmummytonoah2016]

Hi 👋🏻

I’m currently 33 weeks (whale waddling size might I add) pregnant and I’ve a little boy who is 16 months old. My GOD is he testing the boundaries at the minute, he’s so mischievous some days and teething so being a monster some nights and trying to bite during the day.

I’ve had a bit of an evening which has caused a flood of worry how I’m going to cope with another etc. My husband is a great support, I’d let him have a rare night off bedtime duty tonight and go out and our son just would not settle for me. My body physically wouldn’t let me sit on his floor for any longer than I did, so had to drag my husband back after a couple of hours to sort him out. Problem is his dad does all bedtime routines so he was probably trying his luck with me tonight and the little person one!

So since then I’ve been in floods of tears wondering if I can do this parenting and how the hell can I cope with another so soon? I’m hoping when my body is capable of doing more than it is now I may feel better for that. I know some will read this and think it’s a bit late now etc. But it’s 100% what I want and have always wanted! Just wouldn’t mind some advice to help me through :) xx

You will all adapt, whatever happens you can figure it out I promise! I have twins and some awful health issues - some days it’s hard but we have figured it out. My boys are 19 months so I know exactly the mischief you’re talking about it but they have become much more manageable recently.

Aw thank you for the reply. That’s nice to hear it’s manageable. My little boy has just gone from the sweetest little boy to just wanting to be into everything and causing mayhem! So it just makes me so nervous at what’s to come when I have a newborn to contend with aswell.

I hear you. One of my twins went through exactly the same - he would focus on every thing in the room he shouldn’t touch, for a couple of weeks it was a nightmare but the novelty wore off! Must be so hard when pregnant. Hang in there!
