Hi there,
I honestly felt the same when when I first found out about becoming pregnant with our second child, my first child was only 9mo. old. I worried that he would feel left out. But honestly they are very close, they have a very good sibling relationship. It's almost as if they were twins. And now five years later we're expecting our 3 in December! Good luck to you :)

I found out I was pregnant when my son was 11 weeks he's now 11 months old and I'm due to have this baby in 4 days. My 11 month old is very forward for his age walking since 10 months doing almost everything I'd expect from a 2 year old to be be honest without the clear speech. I also have a 10 year old son and a 6 year old son and they both help me immensely without them 2 and my other half of course I really don't no how I'd cope.

Don't worry about what people say. It's of no concern to them. My husband and his sister at classed as Irish twins (they are the same age for a week. His second sister and his brother are also Irish twins (same age for 1 1/2 months. They never had any issues. Yes we are from Northern Ireland.im a few wks from my due date with our first and I'd quite like to have minr close together, there's 11yrs between my brother and I, so I'd like mine to be close. Plus you know when you stop having babbies, they will be able to keep each other company and be there for each other.
There's a great saying that I love: "What other people think of you, is none of your business!"
Tell them to mind their own and just you concentrate on you, your kids and your supportive family.
Chin up lass!

Hi mommy. I'm in the same boat. My son was 6 months when I found out I was 3 months pregnant.. I don't know how to feel and think about this ... But as the time is coming and baby is almost here. I am happy . My sons are going to be close to each other... My husband has 2 of his own, his oldest is11 and his youngest is3. Both boys and you can tell the oldest gets jealous of the 3yr.. now my oldest is 6 will be 7 and he loves his brother. He's even more excited because I'm pregnant again and having another baby.. a mother on here told me, "the lord won't give you nothing you can't handle".. ever since then. I've took it in and been OK.... My baby is 11months and I am 32weeks pregnant.

My sister had her first at 16 then was pregnant about a year later and she ended up having another about another year or two later and last another year or so later. She also was going through nursing school with all four of them and the youngest being only an infant, plus her husband was in the army and deployed over half the time. You can definitely do it. It is possible!

Hi there.  Oh, there is no shame in having another child close after the first one.  You are getting your life on track by going to nursing school which is fantastic (a good paying field and many flexible schedules good for working moms) which is wonderful.  And you have support which is awesome.  And your 8 month old will be pleased to be a sibling. I had my kids very close together, they are 15 months apart.  And my first born loves his little brother.  He doesn't remember a time when he wasn't here.  :>)  Siblings are a gift to give our kids.  So, do not feel bad.  Happy pregnancy

I believe my son was about the same age when I found out I was pregnant with my second. It is scary but it's such a blessing and children LOVE siblings (: my son is now 14 months and im 26 (almost 27) weeks pregnant! People will always have their opinions but remember, you make your own path in life and if this is something that you want to be happy about it, then be happy and let everyone feel your happiness (: they'll come around!
