Well, I have an eight month old and just found out I am pregnant again. I am worried about it being too soon after I had a baby. Am I at a higher risk for miscarriage? I'm going to the doctor next week, so please don't advise that. Also, will I care for my firstborn more? Or the newer baby more? It may sound stupid, but I don't know. How do your emotions change when you have the second child? If anyone has any information about this, please tell me.

Your hormones are all up in the air at the moment pet, calm down. For one thing, your first child will be more than double the age they are now, and up and running about! My sister had her first two very close together due to a mini-pill failure with some anti-biotics. Her first child was 10 months old when she found out she was pregnant again. You'll cope - don't be afraid to ask for help and good luck!

Your baby will be fine, but your body may suffer more. Back to back pregnancies are not ideal, but they happen every day! You will need to take it easy, maybe find a sitter to take your 8 month old for a few hrs a week.
You love all your babies the same, but the firstborn has a special place in your heart, since he was the one tha made you "mommy".

You will love them both. It won't be easy for a while, but think of the benefits:
1) you will be done with diapers quicker
2) your kids will not be in different schools as much as others
3) you will get them both through the toddler phase at once, instead of two separate times
Don't make up things to worry about! Be determined that, come hell or high water, you will be a great mom!
Kids grow up fast, and move out. Thrive on the tiredness, chaos and love and kisses while they last!

You will love all of your children the same. Each one may hold a little special place for one reason or another. Just give them all the same amount of love and attention. Never compare one with another. You will be find. Handle each day the best that you can and everything will be great.

Sweetie, there's enough love in your heart for all your babies. I promise you will love the second one just as much as the first. And if you one day have a third, you'll love that one just as much as the other two. Having them close together means they will be closer to each other growing up.

I remember feeling just this way,WOW! As my children are older now I was asked "who do you love more me or my sister?" My answer came fast and still rings true to this day:
You see this candle, it is Mommy, now God is giving Mommy all his love(light candle). Now this candle is you. When you came into my life I was so happy I just had to give you all the love I had.(light 1st child's candle with your candle) explain to your child that they now have all your love ask if they can see all your love burning brightly, they will say yes. Now show them that you still have all your love because your candle is still lit. Now when your sibling came along I was so happy that I just had to give all my love to her(light the next child's candle with your candle) show child how the sibling has all your love, how they still have all your love and how you still have all your love to give.
Love is never-ending I hope this brings you piece of mind. You are a great Mother of two already because you are thinking ahead!

I have two daughters and I love them equally. They have their own personalities and their own little quirks. They are individuals and I love them both.
