Is this too much

I've just found out I'm pregnant, when this baby is due I will have a 2 year old and a 13 month old, is this going to be too much to handle?

Only you can answer that question... do you have help around from friends family partner? Maybe worth discussing with them... people adapt but is it going to be hard work... of course!

Also you might want to consider getting contraception after this pregnancy

Partner works 6 days a week so it's just me at home. We were using condoms it was not a planned pregnancy, it split once and we thought nothing of it.

Wow you will have your hands full yes! But you’ll cope you’ll have to it’ll just become the normal. Definitely get better contraception after this one. Congratulations x

The thing that worries me is they have both been born by c section so the third will have to be.

You will cope, you’ll find a way of coping with it all. It’s not an impossibility. Talk to your partner and family to see what is what. I’d look at other contraception methods after this little one. Congratulations to you all x

I'm worried to tell family, they wasn't too pleased when I told them about the second baby because it was "too close" and "not fair on the first one"

Is there a right age range my two are 2 years apart and it was hard work I’m wanting another there will be at least 13 years difference between my eldest.

is there ever a right age range?? They will get on really well being so close together. My other half has a four year old from a previous relationship and this is our first child together and there will be a four year age gap. I don’t think it be a bad think for you all xx
