7 month old baby and pregnant again

[Chachababa99]

Help!!! I have just taken a pregnancy test and it says I am 2 weeks pregnant. I have a 7 month old baby boy who hasn't slept the night through in his life. I am currently operated from my partner as all we have done is argue. I just do not know how I am going to cope with 2 that are so young! I took 2 morning after pills and still have ended up pregnant. I just dont know what to do.

First thing. Breathe.

Then take a few days to start thinking about if you want this pregnancy. It's ok either way!!!!

If you don’t want to co to use with this pregnancy then you don’t need to. You don’t need to make this decision today. Take some time to think about it.

I know how your feeling I already have 2 older children 10 and 7 and I have a 10 month old and I will be 12 weeks pregnant on Saturday it was a massive shock to me also when I found out I was expecting again so soon but after a few days I come round to the idea and so did my partner I hope you manage to sort things I also worry about having 2 so close but from what I hear it's not all bad having them close together I've heard good and bad

I think it's great! We are TTC number two and ds is five and a half months.
They'll be really close friends. I am sure the first couple of years are challenging but when they are in school/ nursery it'll be much better.

Stop and breathe.

Think carefully about how this will impact on you and your DS' life.

If you think you can continue with the pregnancy then you will cope because you have to and many have managed before you so you can absolutely do this!

However, if you don't think it's the best situation for your family then you can seek help from your GP to terminate the pregnancy. You have every right to do so if you wish and don't let anyone make you feel "wrong" for going down this route.

Either way, good luck, you have a few weeks to make your decision so take the time to really think it through :)

Thank you all so much. It not the baby I'm that concerned about because I know after having DS that babies are a blessing. It is more to do with my partner and I as we literally cant spend a day together without fighting. My family are not supportive of our relationship ship either so they will be so disappointed that I have fallen pregnant again. I dont think i have it in me to terminate the pregnancy. I also live In NI so they have strict laws against it. I know there are ways and means around it. But I just literally scared of being a single mum to a new born and a 1.4 year old.

Well, it sounds like you're definitely going through with it then OP... Congratulations :)

You'll manage because you have to, you and your ex made another baby so now someone has to care for him/her and DS.

My SIL ended up on her own with 3 kids, one just turned 3 and 2 under 1. It wasn't easy, the younger 2 have never been friends because the elder of them was and is still an extremely jealous sibling. They're in their teens but they deal with it because they have to and if push came to shove they would look after each other.

It won't be easy but you CAN do it if you want!
