If you click the person/account icon at the top by the search button it gives you a private message option.

I copied my reply when it took ages to send (I guessed the thread was dying and it took me ages to write it all Grin ) so here’s my original post, but still feel free to pm me. It’s a scary moment but you’ll be fine x

Hi OP there’s 50 weeks between my 2 Halo

I wanted a second close after the first (high risk of premature menopause and first baby was so easy), then had a rational moment and went on the pill- but was already pg and realised when the first withdrawal bleed never happened- so that was a pretty quick whirlwind Grin

Some people judge you- someone will judge you whatever gap you have. You can be sheepish and embarrassed or you can own it- yes, couldn’t resist DH/ wanted to get the nappies & sleepless nights all done in one go/ only thing better than one baby is 2 babies/ wanted to breed fast & get back to my career… the list goes on. If CF get really judgey you could tell them the aliens did it (I said that once and they fucked off sharpish).

I cried though. I cried for days. I felt bad for DC1, for DH (?!), for myself, just felt shitty all round (already had PND so not a great starting point!).

But it’s pretty good actually. When you’re changing one nappy you just do another. You’re not sleeping anyway so sod it you’re already awake. You’re already into baby groups, pureeing, not drinking alcohol or fitting into your favourite jeans… and 2 years later it’s great. Your friends are starting over all that jazz with their DC2 and yours are well on the way to sorted. As they get older they can do the same activities, see the same films, life gets easier really quickly when you have a small gap. There will be moments (I’m looking at you norovirus) when you wonder why on earth you did it to yourself but it’s a pretty good gap to run IMO. Congratulations Flowers
