Congratulations, I've had friends with babies close together, the kids are very close now. It was tough while they were little but they have a great bond when they're older. Best of luck xx

I'm 29 weeks pregnant and my first baby is nearly 16 months so there will be just less than 18 months between the two. I have to admit I was nervous at first but so many people have told me that it's great news and they should be very close growing up. I hadn't long gone back to work after maternity leave before finding out so I've decided to have a much shorter leave this time. Good luck and I hope you have a happy and healthy pregnancy.

To be honest they've been fine. I'm a secondary school teacher so we have mainly been doing remote learning during lockdown. I was back at work maybe 3/4 weeks before we had lockdown and i'd gone back part time but i've been doing full time work during all of this due to being short staffed. I didn't actually know I was pregnant for a while and my 1st is an Ivf baby so it was a surprise all round and I told work straight away. They've been lovely and very supportive.

Thank you and congratulations on yours too :) I'm a bit of a traditionalist and go by the 3 month rule just to make sure there's no issues but with baby number 2 I didn't know I was pregnant until I was nearly 4 months gone and told school as soon as I knew. X

My sister and I are 15 months apart. When we were little we’d fight terribly. But we are polar opposite, she’s the princess who rides horse and I’m the motor-cross racer. We are best friends now and thick as thieves. I’m currently expecting my 1st, and have pre warned my partner I’m jumping back on it at the earliest opportunity!!! 🤣🤣. My best mate has a little brother who is 8 months younger than she is. They are also in the same school year but not twins. He was also 3 months prem. From my experience I love having a big sis pretty much the same age. She is my best friend. Good luke.... it will certainly be a roller coaster/ juggling act.

I am looking forward to them both being able to play with one another and being best friends. Thank you. Haha I will train my older one to do that for me then. Nice to hear a good story.
