Pregnant with 3 month old

[Dvg]

Please tell me it'll be a breeze :D

How will my body cope with having a baby so soon after my first? I'm around 7 weeks so far and with my son being 3 months old... Will my body be okay without having had a rest :S

First pregnancy and labour was really easy apart from some sciatica type stuff from 34 weeks but this pregnancy has started with feeling sick and a disliking of food :0

Got my first midwife appt on Thursday so hopefully I'll get my questions answered then.

Oh wow congratulations!!

I have a 14mth gap between my two and both pregnancies and labours were relatively easy and straight forward. On the plus side your eldest may not yet be walking when you're heavily pregnant so that should
make your life easier. I found for the second labour my body fully took over and I didn't have to actively push or anything - perhaps this was due to the births being so close together my body remembered what to do 🤷🏻‍♀️

It is hard to start with (my youngest is now 12wks old and eldest is 17mths old) due to sleep deprivation but everyone keeps telling me it gets easier as they get older 🤞🏻

Congratulations and good luck!

Congratulations. 15 month gap here and while it was so hard at first I didn’t have the added complication of trying to juggle a school run into the day. Once they are older it’s so lovely, they have similar capabilities so days out are easy, into the same things so will watch same movies/ tv programs. They have similar friends so all get along. The bit that worries me now is when they all turn teenagers together!!

Congratulations!

My DD has just turned 1 and DD2 is due in 8 weeks (ish)! I've had the same concerns as you -

I'm having some problems - baby has always been low (but had SPD with previous pregnancies so I think being so close together I haven't had time to 'reallign')

I have placenta previa (scan tomorrow to see if anything has changed, if not it's a C-section), plus DD2 started walking at 10 months so now chasing her is becoming tiring and just trying to make sure I'm careful around lifting etc -

Honestly, I've found it a bit difficult (but then I've had some problems) - but everyone is different! I hope it's a breeze for you! All I'd suggest is get some support together now for when you need it xx

I'm 21 weeks with DC2 and DD1 is 10 months old, so they'll be 15 months between them. The hardest struggle I've found so far, has been with tiredness. This has been made worse as I've just gone back to work and DC1 is teething, so hasn't been sleeping through.

But I've heard from a lot of mums that it's hard at first, but gets easier the older they get.

Plus there are plenty of people who have twins and they manage absolutely fine.

Health wise during pregnancy, there was a guardian article about this at the weekend. Think the main issue of two pregnancies so close together was higher risk of giving birth earlier but seemed to affect over 35s more if I remember correctly.
