Pregnancy Info HOME

You need to do what you need to do for yourself....family and friends may give your their opinions on what they think is best for you, but only you know what is best for you. And it doesn't sound aweful that you are 21....you are an adult... I have a 2 yr old and am not 23w pregnant w/ #2, and even I question myself sometimes if I am ready for another one and I am 26.... I think is is always a shock when a woman finds out she is pregnant, especially with her second child. don't feel like you are bringing this baby into the world with no reason to... I think everything happens for a reason...you may not think so now, but I'm sure you will love this child just as much as you love your son.. Good luck with everything and congrats on your pregnancy. Maybe once the initial shock of being pregnant again wears off, you will see things in a different light.

Sweetheart, I know a 17 yr old who just found out she's expecting her second child and her first one is only 6 months old. I don't look down on her and I certainly dont look down on you. Its scary. Of COURSE its scary. Its scary even when you want the baby! I know I was freaked out when I first found out and I was praying to get pregnant. Its going to be difficult, yes, but when you look at that little baby you'll love it just as fiercly as you loved your first little one. Don't tell me you werent a little stressed with the first one! But you found room in your heart. You will with this one too, and everything else will be worked out in time.

Hi susieni! I am 7 weeks preg and my son just turned a year on the 19th of november! It will be fine!! I'm sure after a few more days the initial shock will wear off!! You can do it! And if you think about it you still have a long 8 months to go so you will have plenty of time to sort out your feelings!! Just remember everything happens for a reason. You can totally do it!! Good luck!

Thanks for all your comments, they were helpful, i just feel like ill not be able to cope with two young kids with my partner at work from 6.30am to 7pm in the evening, i find it hard to cope with my son as he is so demanding, but i guess it will grow on me and things will work out for the best, but i feel like im alone in this as my partner is so excited and i have to put a brave face on to show him i feel the same, but i dont, it does sound awful i know it does but its how i feel. im stuck in a muddle it hurt..

susieni - My situation isn't the same as yours as I don't have any children yet, but I was NOT a happy camper when I found out that I was pregnant. My bf and I don't have a solid relationship and were not ready. But after we got over the initial shock, we both got pretty excited, and everyone around us is as well. I think the next 8 months or so will prepare you to be ready and excited and things always work out one way or another. Good luck to you

susieni you'll be ok.. just give it some time to settle in =]
