So I have a 7month old , I'm currently alone 5months pregnant. My little girl wasn't planned but a happy surprise. I went on BC strait after she was born but ended up pregnant again shortly after. My baby will only be 11months old when this babygirl is born. I was so exited with my first and the pregnancy. This time I'm far from exited and if I'm honest I don't want another baby yet and feel very little for this pregnancy.

I'm so sorry your feeling like this, do you have anyone to talk to in real life?

My sister is just under a year older then me, my mum was pregnant again with me two months after giving birth to her, and honestly we have the best relationship. My mum admitted she felt the same carrying me, but wouldn't change it now. You have technically carried two baby's back to back, so I can imagine your having a hard time with pregnancy now, I feel the same and there's a five year age gap between mine. I'm currently nearly 39 weeks and have found this pregnancy so hard!

Have you spoke to midwife about how your feeling?

That's so tough. I think the most important thing is to allow yourself some grace to feel however you feel. There's nothing wrong with not feeling over the moon the second you see a positive pregnancy test. That happiness might well come when you've had some more time to get used to the idea (or it might not).

I'm 20 weeks this week so I'm worried it won't ever come , I guess I haven't really felt a feeling for the first 16 weeks and the last 4 it's been negative thoughts. I just don't see how il cope when we live in a area that I hate and have no support in :( I'm trying too go back too where I have support but it's not a quick fix
