Welcome! :shakehands:

Congratulations on being pregnant again and congrats on your first bub!

I know a lot of people that have had their bubbas close in age like this and have done just fine! I am sure a lot of people will be able to give you some tips and info though!

Congrats on your :bfp:
i know a few people who had had a very close age gap similar to yours and they do fine :yes:

one is now 11months and the brother is 22months and now they are both walking its so cute and alot easier aswell and they play so good together to

at first it was alot of work as she was tandem feeding so adjusting to that she said she found the hardest and felt like the first 2weeks she was just tied to the chair, she said the sleep wasnt an issue as she was already use to getting up during the night so it was no difference

but thats just her experience i dont want to scare you as its not as scarey as it sounds!

Hi there,
Congratulations! It must be exciting and scarey all at the same time. Not that mine are as close as yours will be (15 month gap) but you will be fine! You'll be busy, but happy-busy and the bonus is that you should have no jealousy and they should grow up to be great playmates!
Best of luck.

Hi

Congratulations!! My girls are 11 months apart - my eldest is now 14 months and youngest 3 months. It is hard work but Im not finding it as hard as people told me I would! Ive noticed a big difference in our eldest - for the better - she is so loving towards the baby and wants to look after her its so cute! She has become so much more gentle with all kids and is really good at sharing, she has definately taken to being a big sister very well and as others have said you get no jealously with them both so young. I worried for a while about going out with both of them on my own but we are getting quite good at it now and I just make sure the little one is fed before we leave the house and its fine! I feel a bit guilty sometimes that one or the other is somehow missing out on stuff but I dont think they really are...they are best buds already!

Good luck...if you ever want to chat mail me anytime.

Ah thanks so much everyone!

I am very excited and a bit scared at the same time, and your responces have helped me feel more at ease.
We were still deciding on what sort of age gap would be best when we found out we were pregnant again! so decsion made!!! :)
I can def see some benefits already as we were going to start packing stuff away, but now will just store ready for then end of the year and I am hoping that they we be great pplay mates for each other as they grow up together so close in age.

Thanks so much again, and I am sure I will have a lot more questions to come!!

Hi there and welcome!!
congrats on your pregnancy :)
I have five boys and a sixth on the way, i fell pregnant very soon after i gave birth to my twins and have a not quite 12 month age gap between twins and my son born after them.
to be honest i find a closer age gap easier as i got everyone in the same routine of eat, sleep, change etc at the same time.
GL you will love it!!!
