hi ladies,
who has two children close together?
my daughter is 15 months old and in less than 2 weeks til I'm induced i will have a new born. I'm really scared to be honest with how I'm going to cope and feel. my daughter is very demanding at the moment. I dont know if it's just because I'm pregnant or because she's teething but i seem to have a lot less patience with her at the moment I mean in the respect that I get worked up easy when she is upset. where as before 4 could manage it and tolerate it. but having two at the same time I'm not sure I'm looking forward to it in one way because I'm panicking, but then in another way i am excited and can't wait to see my little man! the little bugger who has given me hell throughout this pregnancy ha ha. I have so many thoughts and feelings at the moment and worries! am I just being daft. is it normal? xx
I am feeling the same... my little boy will just be turning 1 as I am due to give birth with this little one xx
i was same in respect of been worried ect but with a 12yr age gap. i worried wud i be able to cope with the sleepless nights ect. would my first be jelous... soon as baby here u will just cope. xx
I had a 18 month gap between mine and my first was so good with him. It was hard at times but well worth it
It's perfectly normal to feel nervous about it. Mine aren't as close in age they have a 2yr gap. But all the same feeling went and even now sometimes go threw my mind! Your daughter will know there's changes and her behaviour may reflect that leading up to baby coming and once babies here. It's important to keep her routine as normal as you can. Continue to give her as much attention as you can, include her when babies here. If people come to visit make sure they speak to her first. When your having a bad day. Stay as calm as you can. Count to 10. Go onto another room for a moment to calm down if you need to but don't loose it in front of her. Praise her good behaviour & ignore the tantrums. There will be hard times but also an amazing times too 😊
I have 14 months between my last 2 babies girl and boy, they r now nearly 5 and 4, they have been fab together, they argue now like any sibkings do, but i was worried the same how would they he together how would i cope, all i can say is routine was my godsend, i kept my sanity knowing that bedtime was at a certain time ect, but u will be find chick, it will all be fine xxx
