Need advice- 2 pregnancies close together

[lexismom90]

 Hey everyone. I haven't been on here in a long time, but I could really use some advice from anyone that might have been though similar. I just had my first baby 8 months ago and I am 8 weeks pregnant with the second one. I am just scared because of having them so close together. Like what complications do I need to be aware of? How am I going to afford 2 babies in diapers?  Is there a higher risk to the baby? How is my daugter going to react?

I had my kids 18 months apart and we had no problems. It can be rough have two kids under two, but it's worth it!

Mine are 12.5 months apart. You will be fine! Your daughter is still little, just try to keep her involved with your pregnancy and the new baby! As far as I know there aren't any risks. Stay calm and enjoy it! :)

My first two are 16 months apart. It actually isn't too bad:)

I had my first by emergency c-section so I was scared but my second was the easiest. My son didn't really show any interest in his brother until he was about 2 months. He started feeding him with my help. He kissed him and hug him.

They are still really close at 5 and 3.5. Honestly it was easier when they were younger:-p

mine are 17 months apart and I stil don't understand this whole "2 in diapers" talk. It isn't really difficult, imo. It can also not be expensive, it just depends on what you want to do. Cloth vs diapers, reuseable items vs re-buying them over and over, jar food vs homemade baby food, formula vs breast. etc.

Everyone talks about the body aspect also, which I don't understand. In my experience, notihng changed with my body. No complications, I had a easy pregnancy and quick labor.

Start potty training the one you have now as soon as she is able to walk. My best friend and her brother are 14 months apart and their mother potty trained the brother at a year old bc she refused to have 2 in diapers. It will be okay. Did you have complications with your first?

[lexismom90]

 nope no complications. Everything with her was pretty normal.

[amyrw]

You should be fine! Don't stress and good luck!

Quoting lexismom90:

 nope no complications. Everything with her was pretty normal.

Youll be fine but potty training as soon as your LO learns to walk is a smart idea

I have a set of b/g twins who will be 11 months this month and I'm 9 weeks pregnant. I don't think there are any complications but having 2 babies in diapers is not bad and u can do it. I will be doing 3. Lol
