15 month old and just found out I'm pregnant again

[Enchanted19]

I've just found out I'm pregnant, according to apps I'm about 4 weeks 3 days. I have a 15 month old son already.

We always wanted more kids but wasn't planning on having anymore till our son was in nursery.

I don't know what to think, I'm so scared. I haven't even told my partner yet because we are having a bit of a rough time and I'm scared of what he might say.

We've had conversations before about what would he say if I was pregnant and he said he would be happy but not as happy as when we found out with our first. I'm so scared.

I don't even know the point to this I just need to get it off my chest and get some advice from people who've been in the same or similar situation.

Of course I want this baby, I just wasn't expecting it to happen as soon as it has.

I found out I was pregnant with our 2nd 2 weeks after his first birthday. Was scared at the scared but that soon turned into excitement when I saw their wee face on the scan. Currently 37 weeks so no actual advice on having 2 yet. We've been reading books about being a big brother and he'll kiss my belly when I ask where the baby is, it's very sweet!

My first two are 24 months apart and they are best friends. I think a lot of people have a two year old gap between children. It's manageable, you will be okay.

Mine are all around 2 years apart you will be fine. It's great they will be close in age, play together you have everything to pass on to the next one, they will be in school together

I got pregnant with my daughter when my son was 15 months. It was absolutely wonderful in my opinion. My children are in their 20's now and are still very close.

Got pregnant when my daughter was 10 months was scared to tell my partner yes he was shocked and we defo didn't plan it we wanted to wait over 2 years but once it kicked in her got so excited he actually booked a early scan soon as he seen the positive test haha!

My daughter, as 4 and half months old I was breastfeeding her by the way and I found out I was pregnant. It was hard but believe me it is wonderful news. Its a addition to the family so that's how to see it
Good luck

Sorry was meant to write my daughter was 4 and half months old

After years of infertility, failed IVF etc, friend fell pregnant naturally. Didn't use contraception as BF full time. When baby was 3mths old, she fell again, but this time with twins!!! She had 3 under 18mths.

Of course many will think you didn't use contraception and possibly ask if it was planned, but you will cope. Hopefully you have some other support if your partner isn't supportive?

I am 22 weeks pregnant. DD is 19 months, and will be 3 weeks shy of 2 when this one arrives, so I am in a similar position to you time wise. We didnt plan this one really. It happened MUCH faster than DD (I say DD took 1 year, and this one took 1 minute 😆😆). It was quite a shock. I cried a lot. I had no idea how I would cope. I have no support network bar DH who does 12 hour shifts. I was terrified.

Now the idea has settled and even though I know it's going to be very hard we will just get used to it. My advice would be that its completely ok to be terrified. It's a huge life change, and unexpected. But we both know that kids are tough, but 100% worth it. There is never a perfect time to have a baby, and when they make a surprise appearance all we can do is make the best of it and love it. It will be a part of the family.

Also, there is always alcohol to help get through the day 😉

I have a 2 year old a 11 month old and am now 8 weeks along again 😱

Very surprised to say the least I too was worried about telling my partner he wasn't overly impressed at 1st but is starting to come round to the idea now.

You will cope its tough but so rewarding, my 2 have an amazing bond which is wonderful to see!

Good luck with everything xx

Hi. I know it's not the same as your child is 15 months old. But my eldest was 5 months when I found out I was pregnant with my youngest. I too was worried bout telling dad as I was on the pill also. Surprisingly he took it well. There's 14 months between mine and they are best of friends. They are 5&4 now. Good luck I'm sure it'll all work out.

Hello @Enchanted19
My daughter is a couple of weeks shy of 16 months and I'm almost 11 weeks pregnant.
My husband and I had the conversation about giving my daughter a sibling, but assumed it would take a while as it did with her after a couple of miscarriages. Within 2 weeks of talking about it I was pregnant. I can't say my husband is unhappy at all about it. At the end of the day we both wanted it it just came sooner then expected and we will have to adjust. I'm sure your partner will be happy with this news. I think I'm more stressed then my partner as he works away for 2 weeks of the month and were also in the middle of renovating a house to move to, which we wanted to do before having another baby. Its nowhere near finished!

My first two are 14 months apart, then we had a 3 year gap, and then two more with a 20 month age gap.

All four are very close, and the two sets are also tightly knit.

Congratulations OP.

I’ve got exactly this age gap and like you, didn’t do it on purpose but wouldn’t change it. Five years of chaos and then you’re done and they grow up to be so close. My dc would have been one school year apart but for a few days.
