My husband and I have a 20 month old daughter. We're thinking about trying to get pregnant again around December. Up until now, I was nothing but excited about the thought of having another baby. Now, I've been a little nervous. I've been thinking "Are we really ready for another baby??" When I got pregnant w/ my daughter, the pregnancy was a huge surprise- not planned at all. I think I was in shock for the majority of the pregnancy, so I didn't really worry about what could go wrong. I had a horrible labor that ended in a c-section. I'm a little worried about what could go wrong this time. Is this normal? I'm still excited (call me strange, but I'm even looking forward to getting up in the middle of the night to feed and snuggle with a baby again!) We're more emotionally prepared and financially stable than we were the first time around, but I'm more nervous!! I'm looking forward to the cute maternity clothes they have out now. Any advice/suggestions??

We all get nervous. My and my husband said we would start trying and the first cycle I was pregnant, after the fact I thought am I ready. But when it comes down to it, if you are ready it will happen. God doesn't hand out things you can't handle.

You are strange! You told me to! Try just relaxing and thinking positive. No one preganacy is like the others and no one delivery is either. My three couldn't have been more different from each other! Just think about clothes, and a new snuggly baby. (by the way, I had my first 2 13 months apart. Not on purpose, but it worked out great anyway) Spend some time trying to prepare your daughter for the new baby. Buy her a bay doll and teach her how to do stuff. Big sisters are great! They can fetch diapers and wipes, they can throw them away for you, they can sing to the baby, rub the baby's head, all kinds of stuff. Let her know that it is HER baby so she feels involved instead of left out and find as many things as you can for her to do to help. GOOD LUCK!

It's normal to be nervous especially if you had a bad experience with your first child the best thing to do is to talk with your doctor and see what your chances are of having problems with the next labor and then decide if you are ready based on his/her advice or answer it may make you feel better or it may prepare you for any problem that may arise and that could help with your nervousness if you know what to expect
Good luck !

If you are having second thoughts wait until you are fully ready. You already have a baby girl. Slow down give her all the attention for now.
