Rant/Venting (Irish Twins)????

Question

I dont have anyone to listen, let alone talk to so here it is. Im pregnant once again (second pregnancy) and my daughter is 4 MONTHS 😑. Im 10 weeks according to my last period and I dont know what to do. My insurance lasped because the state said I made too much money which is only $13/hr so I enrolled in the health insurance plan for my job however that doesnt start until the New Year. Im considering an abortion (dont judge) because my daughter was a preemie and im dealing with PTSD from my whole birthing and post partum experience. And im so afraid of dying in childbirth. I dont want another baby right now, its way too soon but i feel its getting too late to abort. The father doesnt want to do adoption and quite frankly im sick of him right now. I dont feel its fair to bring another baby around when my daughter is still a little bitty herself. Do anyone have irish twins? And how is it? Any advice?

Answer

I have to agree with above, when your kids can play together (at 6 months when they can sit and pivot this becomes more realistic) it makes having kids sooooo much easier. Mine are 1 and 3 and even with that age gap they give each other attention which is amazing on days I just can’t even, especially  now that I’m pregnant. I have a preemie and my second had significant birth defects so they were both in the nicu (1 for 6 weeks and the 2nd for 3 months) ptsd is no joke but I will say it doesn’t go away with more or less kids. I would go to counseling, some churches or state programs offer free counseling and then in a few weeks think about your decision. And think about down the road too. Four months is sooooo in the thick of It. I hate having newborns, I felt like my life started again when my kids were 6-9 months old and could finally entertain themselves. Blessings 🙏

Answer

I don’t have any advice regarding the Irish twins thing but my youngest will be 13 months when this one is born (assuming I don’t give birth a little early like last time) it will be exhausting but I’m so excited for it. 
My eldest and current youngest are 19 months apart and it went better than expected, they absolutely adore each other. 
I’d vote to give yourself some time to think and consider all options. When I found out I was pregnant again, even though it was planned, a sudden shock came over me and I cried and cried. I then thought I was having a miscarriage (I’m thankfully not) but I realised just how much I want this baby. 
Good luck with whatever you decide to do🤗

Answer

I do I have two boys and them being so close together actually made things easier  potty trained the same time I reused clothes they always had each other ..... but if your not ready for another one I have also done adoption I had found out I was pregnant again 3rd pregnancy (5 year later) but my situation is different my brother in-law couldn’t have kids so me and my husband decided we would give up our son to blessed them with a child and it was one of the hardest things to do you have to have a strong mindset and heart but I don not regret it and later on we added 2 more boys to our family you do what you feel is right
