2 babies quite close together

Hi guys I've just found out I'm expecting my 2nd baby after giving birth to my son last October, I've worked out the dates approximately and once baby number 2 comes April/May 2016 my son will approximately be 18 months old. I'm quite nervous on how myself and daddy are going to cope as my partners business from home wwill be up and running by then and it'll probably just be me taking ccare of the kids throughout the day.

Any advice I'd appreciate it please.

My two are 15 months apart. It was hard at first but I love it now. They play so well together and are best friends. Baby number 3 will be 28 months younger than my current youngest.

Omg me too lol, I had my first baby ob October last year, and I'm due next April/May. I'm scared because I'm so overweight, and I had gd, and I don't want to have any problems with this one, I didn't have any with my son, but with this one, is different, I'm scared I might miscarriage or something else happens

I'm in the same boat.. my son was born 10/20/14, baby #2 is due 03/19/16.. they'll be about 17 months apart.

I cried when I found out I was pregnant, but Lord knows this baby must be coming for a reason because he/she was NOT planned, but he/she IS meant to be!!

we were meant to do this.. we can do this.. our babies will give us all of the strength that we need. I'm quite excited for my son to be a big brother now, and I can't wait to see how he reacts!

plus, I'll be taking A LONG, MUCH NEEDED & DESERVED break between baby #2 and #3!!!!! lol

congrats & good luck! we'll be just fine! (((: ♡

It's crazy how we doubt our capabilities. As hectic as it is and as much as we stress about how we are going to do it, we just do. I keep telling everyone I'm going to end up in a mental hospital :)  My 2nd and 3rd are 14 months apart and I'm currently pregnant with baby #4 due in Nov. A week before my previous babies 1st birthday, they will be 11 months apart. I'm glad my boys will have each other so close in age. My oldest is 4 1/2. We can do this :)

My first 2 are 1 yr 15 days apart. They will be 2 1/2 and 1 1/2 when their lil brother comes in oct. They already get along great. They share a room and play with each other fairly well. I think you will adapt fine when baby gets here. I kind of like having them close personally :)

My son and his lil brother (due in October) will be 19 months apart I think you'll be fine just try talking to your son about the new baby and I think it'll be fine... my son is currently 17 months and he knows about his baby brother coming and he just recently started hugging my belly and giving kisses.. next step will be to take him shopping with us to buy his lil brother stuff... i try to keep him involved as much as possible :)
