Hi, I know how your feeling, I am pregnant with my second (9weeks now) I have a 16month old son. These fears are normal I was freaking out when I found out too.
You will manage, it may be hard. But get into a routine and you will be ok.
Think about all the positive stuff not just the negative. Think about how nice it will be for your other child to have a play mate, they will grow up close in age and share, experience and understand each other when there isnt a huge age gap.
It's certainly easier in the long run to have them close together, than raise one ,send them off to school then have another one. Crikey it will take years to have time to yourself.
Good luck, it will all work out fine, you can do it :)

It is a lot of work, but three years is a nice age difference. Mine are 3 years and 3 months apart and while you can't leave them in the same room alone for the first 9 months, things are great now. They love each other and play together.
This morning, my 4 year-old didn't want to go to pre-school so he could stay home and play with the baby. I sent him because he needs time with kids his own age and I need a break from both of them.
That said, there is nothing I would change.

You already have a 21/2 year old so you have an idea what it is like to raise a child.
Having 2 is challenging, but rewarding, you get to see how the relationship develops between your older child and the baby, and you get to fall in love with a beautiful unspoilt person. What more needs to be said?

Well, the answer to that is difficult. Raising 2 children is as exciting and fun as you make it. Yes there can be days where u wanna pull your hair out, and days where they do nothing but fight, but there are also good days where they cuddle and the older one reads my younger one a story. I think that the small age gap u would have is good too, i had a 4 year age gap between mine and would prefer a smaller one. At the end of the day it is up to u.

Its to late now to stress about it just take each day as it comes and at 3 years he is entitled to 5 2 1/2sessions a week which will give you a break and your child some fun.

hi i have experience i had my first in sept 2002,my second may 2004 and my third aug 2005 it is hard i must admit but in the long run they near the same age so they understand eachother they get to go to the same school a yr or two yrs apart so they wont be on their own for long.I'm glad i had them at the age gap it's lovely seeing them play together.But at the end of the day it's wheather you'll be able to cope wich i think you would because your little one will be due to start nursary pretty soon.I hope i'v been some of help to you.

When i had my 4mth old son my contraception let me down and was pregnant again. i was confussed so i went to my local family planning (drop-in centre) and had a chat to someone about abortions. i realised that an abortion wasnt for me and that i would keep the chils and raise her. i would advice you not to go ahead with a pregnancy and give it up after birth as you'll regret it in the nearer future.
have a chat at your local drop in centre and it'll help you make a desision. also have a chat with the father on his views of it.

You have 1 child and YES its in the terrible 2's. But hun, you will love this 2nd child as much as the 1st and it wont be as hard on you as the 1st. After this try protection from pregnancy.lol

It's hard work but millions of women are doing it every single day, and most of them cope just fine.
