Young with 2 children?!

Question

I'm not looking for judgmental comments. 
* warning: long story*
I'm 20, my boyfriend is 23. We have a 13 month old son whom was concieved through a contraception failure (birth control horomones were too low). He is our world and we wouldnt be where we are today if it weren't for him!! I never went on birth control as I was, and still am breastfeeding. (Yes i know your thoughts- dont wanna hear them) ANYWAYS because we have a baby, we have sex next to never. Well we did once last month a few days after my period. I used to be so in sync with my cycles but since having a baby they've been all over the place. I used to ovulate 2 weeks after my period, close to my next one but apperantly now that's not the case.. I realized a few days ago that I didnt get my period yet so I took a test this morning and bam.. 2 pink lines show up right away. 
We are still discussing our options, as i'm going to be honest, we're a little freaked out.. BUT I would love if others with babies close together could share some insight. I've heard a lot of pros about having children close in age- my son will be just under 2 years when baby is born. I know its doable and babies are a blessing.. just a little nervous as we are young, i'm in school etc. Advice is appreciated😌 & thanks for listening to my long ass story aha

Answer

My kids are 19 months apart. It was extremely hard at first, I won't lie. They both needed and wanted attention, the older one started to regress a bit, it was a mess. Now though, they are best friends. They play so well together and they will defend each other to the absolute death, I love their bond! I've learned one thing on this app: age means next to nothing when it comes to the ability to parent. Don't worry about idiots who think age is everything. Best of luck!

I was 16 years old with my first pregnancy, and now 20 expecting our 2nd baby any day. Yeah our kids will be 3 years apart. But part of me wishes they were closer in age. I think it'll be a little difficult in the first year,, basically because newborns are a lot of work. But by the time baby #2 is walking and more independent, it'll be easier. Honestly I'm dreading the first 9 months! 😂 it'll be okay, as long as y'all can stick together and coparent good together, then there's nothing to worry about. Me and my SO make a good team by splitting certain duties and going back and forth trading task like bath time, feeding time, playing time. Just get a good schedule going for your home and everything will work out! Good luck!

Okay well all you mummas and mummas to be get ready for this one! 
Okay so I was 15 and found it was pregnant I was sh*ting myself I was so immature and young! ( please don't judge me as It was not my choice to lose my virginity that young I was hanging out with the wrong people and I was 15 I thought I knew everything) anyway I had my beautiful baby boy and I didn't like the idea of a broken family so I got back together with his farther and then realized he wasent worth it and left him! Then less then 2 weeks later I found out I was pregnant again this is when my son was 5 months old, then 2 days after I found out I was pregnant again I found out my little boy had CANCER!! (I was 16 with a baby who had cancer and just found out 2days before  I was pregnant with my 2nd) I was again sh*ting my self so the next 6 months of my life I was inside the walls of starship children's hospital with my baby boy his farther was being a complete ass hole and using my son to get girls and uploading photos of himself holding my son on some dating site! any way my son pulled through and we where at home again on September 27th 2013 and had his 1st birthday at home with heaps if gifts and family around, then 2 months later had my daughter and there biological farther hasn't even meet her his doing not mine and life has just gone up hill from there my son had his 4th birthday last weekend and is happy and healthy and you wouldn't be able to tell he's even had cancer now. and my daughter she's gonna be 3 in December and I'm with and awesome guy now we're engaged and expecting number 3 in February. Seriously you'll be fine if you keep your 2nd baby my kids are best friends there inseparable and even though my situation was like the worst I wouldn't change any of it!

Answer

I was 19 when I first got pregnant and had my son when I was 20...then I had his brother when I was 22...my first son was still 1 (turning 2 two months after I had his brother) and in diapers when I had my second..they are so close..my oldest is always looking after his brother it's cute lol. I don't remember it being too difficult when they were little..I mean I'm 29 now and wondering how the hell we managed lol but we did! And we'll soon be adding ANOTHER little brother in a few weeks!

Answer

My kids were right at 2 years apart. I had my first at 19 and second at 21. Really and truly it made no big difference having two versus one. I am now having my third and final and he is the only one that's been planned.

Answer

I was 22 when we had our first and 23 with our second. So not as younge but not too much older. My husband was doing his PhD so still in school and i finished my bachelors when i was 8 months pregnant with our first. There are many pros to having 2 so close ( mine were 16.5 months apart). Its hard the first 6 months but doable. Im now a bit more freaked out because there will be a 3 year difference with the youngest and im already used to sleeping and some independant play its a bit overwhelming to think ill be back to sleepless nights. I really enjoyed getting that over for my first 2 together

Answer

I'm 23 and 17 weeks with my 3rd , my daughter is 8 and my son is 1 and this baby is due march 22nd 2017 I was very very young when I had my first

Answer

I was 19 when I got pregnant with my first. He was only 4 months old when I got pregnant again (at 20). I'm currently pregnant again (got pregnant at 24, just turned 25) and they all will have birthdays in the same month (April). When this baby is born I will have a 5yo, 4yo, and a newborn. My two now get along so well. One boy one girl. They are best friends and do everything together. My son was born first and as my daughter grew up she learned quicker. They are at the same level (even though girls do usually learn quicker than boys) I honestly wouldn't have it any other way. It's been tough at times but so worth it. And both potty trained together, which was awesome!!
