Second pregnancy happiness

9 Replies

Hi all, well I've written a few posts since I found out I'm pregnant with our second baby and I'm now almost 19 weeks. Up until now I've been quite anxious about the arrival of the baby and impact on my 2yr old and how our family dynamics will change. However, we told our son about the baby growing in mummy's tummy last weekend and his reaction was so heart warming 😍. He asked lots of questions and wants to help care for the baby, he asked if I could get the baby out now!

I feel so relieved that for now at least he seems happy about his new brother or sister. All has been well with scans, test results so far and I'm feeling really well. My 20 week scan (going to leave the gender a surprise) is just over a week and I think I'm finally feeling happy and relaxed about about our newest addition and have been feeling movements here and there. Hope all of you pregnant mummies and new parents are well!!!

wishing you well and your 2 year old sounds sweet. You will have another pair of hands to help. Enjoy this period because when the baby comes, also comes a few changes, happiness definitely plus lots of challenges along the way. 😊

I know...it's just flown by! It's such a relief that he's happy with the idea of a brother or sister, that's as much as I can ask for at the moment. Looking forward to my scan xx
