Pregnant with 2nd child

[loumsc]

Thought I'd create a group for anyone who is currently pregnant with their 2nd child.

I just found out I'm pregnant, so nearly 4 weeks and I have a 23 month old.

How far along are you and what age is your 1st?

@Bleepers quite a mixture of things for me - bad sickness the 1st trimester (which I didn't have at all first pregnancy, maybe as girl this time?!) and yes utter exhaustion! That eased but is returning now and yes having an energetic toddler doesn't help (DS has also dropped all naps and he's an early riser too). I've developed sore varicose veins which have come out of nowhere (none last time!) and terrible achey legs which keep me awake at night. Then add in pgp and bad reflux! 😒 Also had a bit of a rocky road with concerns over baby's health which have been a real worry (but fingers crossed she's showing signs of being all healthy now) so emotionally it's been really difficult too. Makes me realise how lucky we were with DS. Gah I sound like a right moaner but honestly I'm trying to stay positive and enjoy her kicks etc and the pregnancy in general, despite it's challenges, as it's likely my last and I've not got much longer to go!
Hopefully you won't have these issues, it's definitely harder to rest when you have a little one too but hopefully once you're out of the 1st trimester your tiredness will ease and things will be easier 😊 x

@loumsc and @Noornie I'm about the same! 6 weeks today and DD will be 2 next week.
I've also been thinking about whether to get a double buggy or not, I already have the single out and about nipper which I love as we live in the country and been great for walks in the woods etc, I did use a sling a lot until dd was around 6 months though so was thinking if I did the same this time by the time baby is out of the sling DD will be over 3 so probably not so keen to sit in the Iggy anyway
