Advice on having babies 12 months apart?
I just recently found out that I'm pregnant with my 3 child. I have a 3 yr old and a 6 month old and i'm 12 weeks pregnant. My son was born on Aug 1 and my due date is Aug 11, and honestly... I'm scared that I won't be able to handle 2 babies at once. I'm happy to be having another child and I hear that a lot of people have done it, with no problem. But... I still question the fact. I haven't told anyone, expect the father and a close friend. I'm worried what people will think and how they are going to react, even my own family. So question is... how do people handle having children close in age? Thanks

well, although my children arent as close as yours, its ok as long as you're happy. I have an 18 month old and I'm seven months pregnant with my second child and I'm ok with that because at least they can play together. Really, the new baby will be a breeze, but the 3 year old will be all the work. just try not to spoil the 6-month old too much because then you might have some work to do.
First of all, Congratulations! It really just is what it is, right? And it isn't like there will be any surprises! You will know and remember exactly what to expect. My son is almost 6 months old and I wish that I had the courage to go through it all over again real soon so that they could share the joy of being so close together. Just think about what an amazing friendship they will share being so close in age. My sister and I are ten years apart. We get along fine, but have never really had a chance to bond since we don't have very much in common. I think it's great and I hope that your family feels the same way. I know how important their support is to you. Let us know if it's a boy or a girl when you find out!
