Pregnancy num 2 kind of a rant

With my first pregnancy it was such an enjoyable experience. This time around im only 9 weeks and im already having ligament pain and im sick around the clock! My son is 13 months and i didnt get to work off all the weight i gained with him but i am steadily gaining weight again and already look like i could be 5 months along. Im 26 years old and i feel so guilty like i havent given my son enough time with just us before this baby... Idk maybe im just being emotional

Don't worry my two first pregancy's were 14months apart I was sick through the whole 9months of both the oldest was to young to remember what an only child felt like being, to him he's always had a brother and that's how it's always been though there was the problem over the bouncer oldest was to heavy for it but didn't like the youngest to use it. decided to wait awhile before having another I'm 32 weeks and the whole time I'm thinking to myself why???? I'm sore, tired, moody and was over being pregnant at 10 weeks i feel at times everything is falling apart my other two kids have had to grow up to help me do the simplest things i could do with a snap of my fingers before hand and i always feel guilty saying no you can't go to your friends that live maybe 10mins away because now it takes me 20-25mins to walk their and I'm just too tired and sore to make it and no you can't have that we need baby things....on the bright side as the closer to labor i get the happier i feel, i feel less guilty about being so focused on the "new baby" because once she's born i can include everyone again  as a family

I have found that close in age us a good thing. I have 13 & 14 year old boys. They are only 19 months apart. They played pretty well when they were younger and have a lot of common interests now. I also have an 8 month old son and am 29 weeks 29 weeks pregnant with a daughter. The younger 2 will be 11 months apart. Both times with the second pregnancy in a row i gained weight quicker.

My first 2 kids are 15 months apart and doing great. The older one was jealous for a while but now at ages 2 and 3 they adore each other. They are best friends. Don't feel guilty. A sibling is the best gift you can give a child. I am pregnant with number 3 now and this has been a horrible pregnancy for me. I was sick for about 7 months and have had bad pelvic pain and bad hip and low back pain. This one is a girl and my other 2 kids are boys so I wonder if that makes a difference especially with the nausea. Hang in there!

I can't comment on being sick all the time as I've not experienced sickness and this is only my first pregnancy. My brother and I are only 17 months apart and we have always been very close. Sometimes having babies closer to one another can be a blessing, at least  they will always have a friend close to their age

Don't feel guilty you are doing amazing. It can't be easy being pregnant with a young  baby to look after as well. Your son will love having a sibling to play with, I've heard loads of people say how great it is seeing siblings born close together growing up together so I wouldn't worry about that. In fact don't worry about anything, things have happened that way for a reason and it will all be amazing in the end. Try to relax and enjoy this pregnancy,worrying about ifs and buts never did anyone any good. X

My first pregnancy was way worst than this one so I can't complain much except now being so close to the finish line. Your kids will at least be close enough in age to play. Mine will be 6 yrs apart. My first was a girl and this is a boy. Mine won't have a whole lot in common.
