I think I may be pregnant..again.

Hey I’m new to this I have an 18 month old boy. My periods 3 days late I’m normally always on time last month I was 4/5days early too.
I am going to take a test later in the week I’m just quite scared to for now this time feels different. I haven’t been with my partner long 9 months ( we’ve been friends for 5 years though). He’s getting very excited that I’m late but I’m feeling quite scared as my boy is so young. Does anyone else have children similar in age? I know it will be difficult but is it copeable? I think I’m over worrying and looking into everything too much but would love some advice or someone to talk to.
I don’t really have many people I can talk to.

I do want another child in future I just didn’t expect so soon. I had a lot of scares with my wee boy when pregnant and think it may be another reason I’m scared.

I’m not really sure what advice I’m looking for other than someone to talk to that is or has been in similar situation I love being a mum but the age gap is going to be so small. That’s what scares me. I know my family won’t be happy either. Thanks for reading

For me the new relationship would be a larger issue than the age gap. My two will have the same age gap- I'd have preferred a longer one, but I was told it's a very common age gap and lots of people find it to work well.

That is what’s bothering me too Hun it is very quick. I’ve heard that also what worry’s me is my boy feeling left out I’d never make him feel that way but worry he still could.

I have two sons 24 months apart. I found that it worked really well having this age gap. No problems with the eldest and the new baby and he helped at nappy change time etc. I did have a buggy board to make getting out and about easier.

They are teenagers now, which is a whole other ball game, but I don't regret their age gap at all.
