Hi all, just need to get this out of my chest, I don't want to tell my family yet so other than my partner I've noone to rant too.

I'm so scared of being judged, I gave birth to a beautiful little girl at the beginning of July and have just found out I'm pregnant again.
This wasn't planned and I have no idea how to feel.
I suffer with really bad anxiety and mental health issues so I don't do well in situations like this already but I'm so scared of being judged by my midwives and other people that will have an input on my pregnancy.

My children are all loved and they make me so happy and I'm happy to have another I just didn't think it'd happen this quickly, my partner and I had said maybe in a few years time we'd look at our situation and see how we feel but this is happening so quickly.
I know I could've been more careful and tried to avoid it but it was an "In the moment" kinda thing and neither of us were thinking logically 😅

Anyway rant over for now at least 😅
Booked with the doctors now waiting for a midwife, hoping it's not the same one I had a few months ago 😅

There will always be people who judge another's situation, but as long as you and your partner are happy, that's all that matters!
To be honest, I should probably take that advice myself. I'm 41 and 22 weeks pregnant with our 6th baby, and I haven't told anyone because as much as we're very happy with our family choices, this time I'm quite nervous about people's reactions, even though no one else will be involved!

People will judge anything and everything

You have children, judge
You don't have children - judge

Etc

Happened to me and I felt exactly the same as you but honestly? Nobody really batted an eyelid 😂

11 months between my two and the best of friends - we look back and worry why we were so worried.

You will be fine, promise ❤️

There are 10 months between my sister and me! We have been the best of friends all our lives even though we are now middle aged (well just aged really!) It will be difficult with 2 under 1 but as they grow up things get easier.
We used to fight a bit when we were 13/14 but it didn't last long and we always had loads of friends as we knew each others friends - I was the year above her at school but we could have ended up the same year if our birth months were different.
They will get up to mischief when they are toddlers (and teens) but it worked out for our family. Congratulations Grin
