Any advice for trying for baby number 2?

Erika

My husband and I are in the midst of trying for number 2. We literally just started trying this week (tmi, I know lol). I’ve been itching for another baby for a couple of months and we agreed we would start trying this cycle. The thought is so exciting, BUT when we “try” and afterwards I get SO nervous. Is this normal? I ask myself the typical questions: Am I really ready for another? Are we going to be financially okay? Will I love my next baby as much as I love my son? Will my son get enough attention? Will this next baby be hard? What about miscarriage? What if it’s hard getting pregnant this time around, even though it wasn’t hard the first time?

When we “tried” for our son we were trying but not trying and whatever happened happened, so there was no stress/planning involved. I definitely feel like going from 0 to 1 is less stressful than going from 1 to 2!
