2 under 2 experiences??

Question

8 mo DD and I’ve just had a positive test. I’ve convinced myself I’ll miscarry :( I’m the queen of anxiety, this pregnancy also wasn’t planned but we feel so happy and blessed but I’m extremely nervous. Labour experiences? Older child being jealous? Tips for pregnancy? Any experiences welcome please!!!!

Answer

Congrats! I was told to wait 6 months post partum to try to have another. So 8 months you are going to be fine. Yeah!!!

Answer

You're less likely to miscarry because it's not your 1st pregnancy so try to focus on that shred of info to keep your anxiety lower (because I know it won't go away at all) and then by 12 weeks the chances drastically reduce to highly unlikely you'll miscarry so you can worry less then. 
As for sibling jealousy, there might be a little but mostly the older sibling is fascinated by the new baby and they love to be close, though there will also be fights because that's what siblings do. 
Tips are to get them on the same schedule for naps, change diapers at the same time (unless one doesn't need changed), baths at the same time, etc. 
There is a video on YT called "make baby stop crying in 10 minutes" or something like that, put that on to pacify the newborn when needed. Cocomelon, Little Baby Bum, and BabyFirstTV videos for the older baby to watch when you're tending to the newborn.
Accept any and all offers for help. 
Sleep when they do any chance you can get. 
Remember, the new baby will mostly sleep all day during the first month while you adjust so you can take care of the other.
Learn how to use a ring sling or wrap and get one for the newborn. 
A soft structured carrier like Lillebaby will allow you to carry the older baby on your back while your newborn is wrapped in a sling or wrap on your front. It's worth the investment like a stroller. Gets used even more because you can wear the babies around the house to get things done. It's a lifesaver. You can probably find a used one for a decent price. Good luck!

Answer

I got pregnant 4 months PP. my doctor was okay with it. No complications either pregnancy or delivery. Labor with second went just as long due to being induced (both times), but I pushed for 2 hours with my first and received an episiotomy and with my second I pushed for 5 minutes and tore a little on my own. Both babies were and are extremely healthy!
