Anyone else struggling? 😢

Question

Anyone else struggling with the fact they’re pregnant? This was not planned. I have a 16 month old. Im terrified to do this again. What if I’m terrible at being a mother to two? What if I can’t give my first enough attention?

Answer

I am definitely freaking out right now. We have a 3 year old and an almost 2 year old with baby #3 on the way (and not at all planned lol). We will need to move out of our apartment, buy a new vehicle, and figure out childcare all in the next 8 months😂 But that’s also the beauty of a new baby, it pushes you to do things you didn’t think possible! You got this mama!

Answer

My first two children were born 7 days shy of being exactly 24months apart so I had a 14/15mo old baby when I accidentally got pregnant (birth control failed us). I was terrified to say the least but looking back now it was the best gap to have them. I used the pregnancy to involve my baby and get him ready to meet his sibling by the time she was born he was kind of jealous but I used her naps to cuddle and love on him. They are now best of friends at 8yr and 6yr. My oldest was diagnosed with autism sever non verbal at 2 (my daughter at that time was barely born) she helped him come out of his shell, he started talking to her which helped increase his vocabulary, he would practice reading to her and when she was old enough she helped him to learn how to make friends. Now you’d never know he even has autism he’s fully verbal, he makes friends, and knows boundaries and has learned empathy. 
It might seem scary but this could surprise you in a very good way.
