Advice for having 2nd Baby

Hi

I've just found out I'm pregnant with baby number 2. We are happy, however it wasn't planned as such. Our son will be nearly 3 by the time this baby arrives.
I struggled so much with becoming a mum the first time round & it really took a hit to my mental health. I think I did have postnatal depression, but I was too worried to do anything about it.
I was just looking for any advice or must do/must have things to make the transition from 1-2 easier.
We are also only in a 2 bed house, we do not know the sex yet obviously, but any tips on how to make the best of the space & room sharing. We would like to move, but with house prices for a 3 bed, i imagine it will be a few years before this is possible.

Thanks in advance

I wouldn't worry about moving immediately. You can have boy/girl sharing a room in the early years without problems. Only thing you really need for transitioning from 1 to 2 is a good routine. When you have established routines for older sibling(s) a baby just slots in.

Congratulations and good luck
