Are there any mommas that have babies 9 months to one year apart?.. If so how was it having babies that are so close in age, and in diapers at the same time etc?... #NoJudgementPlease

@melissagoss2285 I really hope everything goes well for you.
@maryeliza, I have no expectations on delivery. I'm 28 weeks Tuesday and I'm barely showing. I literally am carrying the exact same way as my first. I can still fit in regular clothes for the most part. Basically taking everything as it comes. I took my bp at Walmart the other day and it's slightly going up but nothing crazy. I go back 11/3 for an ultrasound and appt. My husband is off from work this coming week so it'll put me at ease that he'll be at the appt.
Are you planning on having a scheduled c section with this baby also? I had to have a c section with my oldest, but it was just because I couldn't dilate, and my ob told me I could try vaginal delivery with my youngest but would probably end up having to have another c section anyway, to me a c section is scary anyway, I was even scared with my second baby, it wasn't as bad as the first. When do you go to the doctor again? @melissagoss2285
@maryeliza, right now I'm more nervous about having complications like I did with my daughter. It started with really high blood pressure at the beginning of 3rd trimester. Went on bed rest. Then I was having weekly ultrasounds and appts. We were told by one ob (not even mine) the worst case scenario. Then 33 weeks, I had a bad feeling but had an appt that day. I remember telling my husband and to keep an eye on his phone if I needed him. I think he thought I was crazy. Well in the ultrasound, the tech didn't say anything. I knew it wasn't good. I was rushed up to labor and delivery but because that hospital had no NICU I was transferred to a major hospital. The cord blood reversed. It wasn't getting to the baby. I ended up having her emergency csection. She was also very small only a little over 3 lb at birth. My lil girl is going to be 1 this coming week. She's a little miracle. I'm also entering 3rd trimester this coming week. That's what makes me nervous. I have a high risk ob this time and going out of where I delivered my daughter. Just I'm nervous until I have my appt at the end of this coming week.
@maryeliza most definitely that's why I just told my family from the beginning. You may be mad now but by the time baby gets here you'll be happy and in love with them.
@skyy12221 my mother and sister would probably be the only ones that wouldn't be upset when I first told them to be honest, but everyone else would probably have a lot of opinions, cause that's just how the are. I guess it would grow on them eventually
@maryeliza I totally understand. When my second was 3 months I got pregnant with baby 3 and I was kinda shocked but not really cause me and my hubby weren't preventing I knew my family would be mad but I just told them "you may not like it and you may be mad at me but I'm pregnant again. Some of my siblings were supportive others not so much and my mom was neutral but they all love all three of my baby's now
I've always done everything for my oldest daughter, her dad and I split up when she was five months old, he went a while without even seeing her and when I decided to file for child support last year, he decided to take me to court for coustdy, I got sole coustdy of course but he was granted visitation, and is supposed to get her every other weekend.. She never says anything about her little brother, but she loves her little sister and I left her help me with her a lot, just like letting her hand me diapers when I change her and what not. @shorty02
I was always the type that never wanted kids, and when I got pregnant with my first I was in such shock, I was upset and felt like I was just a disappointment to my family, but they were excited. Don't get me wrong I love my babies and wouldn't trade them for the world, I actually can't wait to have more. I think I'm more afraid of what everyone will think if I was to get pregnant again so early after having my second child. @skyy12221
@maryeliza i know the feeling. They're dad lives 4hrs away. Im doing everything. And since newborns need attention alllll of the time i sometimes forget about my daughter. Not intentionally of course. Sometimes its hard splitting attention. But ill make sure to cuddle her kiss her and such when hes sleeping or quite. I do try to include her and introduce her to her brother but she doesnt care about him much right now.
My oldest daughter is kinda jealous, her father and I aren't together but he has a son with another girl so I figured she would be used to having another baby around, but it's been worse here lately. I'm a night owl so I've never got a lot of sleep anyway, so being sleep deprived hasn't really gotten to be yet, I'm sure it will all be different when I start working again though. @shorty02
@shorty02 wayyy faster lol and @maryeliza its hard for me and I'm only 2weeks in but I was in the hospital the whole first week of my 3rd baby's life and I have a 3 year old he's independent but still needy. I'm sure it'll get easier as time goes on but if you want another go for it when you're ready!
@maryeliza, my middle yes he woke up once we actually had them both in our room as Bentleys room wasn’t ready, but I always put them down for naps the same time don’t ask how cause I don’t even know lol. They’re now 2 & 3 best of friends they go to bed the same time and nap the same time still
Did your babies wake up together during the night or was the oldest already sleeping through the night?
@kreese88
Them being close in age is hard. Juggling both is soooo hard with a newborn. No sleep. My daughter wakes up early and a newborn dont care what time it is. I lost soooooo much sleep and depressed. And now my toddler is being jealous more often and demanding her attention. Wanting to get picked up and crying more often etc. But i started having a routine
Are you nervous about it? I couldn't help but be nervous.. I would be overjoyed to have more babies, but I doubt myself a lot. Plus it doesn't help when you have people trying to tell you how to raise your kids.. Which really get a under my skin. I'm the type if I need something I'll ask, if I don't ask then obviously I didn't need your opinion, but I have family constantly telling me what I should and shouldn't do. @melissagoss2285
Do you feel like it's any harder or stressful with your kids being so close in age? My oldest is going to be four in November and she is pretty independent for her age, my youngest is just one month old. Being a mother is very hard and at times stressful, don't get me wrong it's all worth it. But I just was wondering about if I was to get pregnant again soon, if I would do okay.
@shorty02 sheesh if I bough diapers for 2 I would spend 40 newborn diapers are more expensive than bigger sizes
Mine are 12 months apart! It wasn’t easy in he beginning but it gets easier. We stocked up on diapers while I was pregnant so we wouldn’t have to buy so many when he was born.
@shorty02 that's what I don't want lol I need all my money
@skyy12221 yes! I wana potty train my daughter soon. Diaper buying is hectic. I spent 30 something for diapers for both of them
Mine will be a year and change apart I’m excited to see how they’ll go I’m hoping the bond is great
Its tough in the beginning. Gradually gets easier. Oh n spending money on diapers digs a hole in my pockets lol
I'm currently 2 weeks into having my 2 and 3rd baby a year apart. I'm about about to switch to cloth diapers to save money. I bought diapers for my 2nd and first child for a few months since my oldest at the time wasn't potty trained I hated it so I got consistent with potty training but he was 2 so he understood. This time since my second and third are only 1 year apart I refuse to buy diapers for 2 for another year so cloth it is.
@maryeliza im sorry u went thru that. Hopefully she comes around soon.
