Ok i want honest replies....

I personally found it very easy.

Made me spend extra time with my litle guy knowing that he will have to share me afterwards.

And when my daughter was born it was great. They are super funny together and i wouldnt change it!

Agree with Rainforest...i think its hard...

TBH, I'm finding it heaps harder now that bubs is actually here...

...me too.

bubno.3, I'm not of a lot of help here ...

... but i wanted to pop by & say i fell pregnant naturally with my 1st born Bubba when i was 39.5years old. ** So, it's more than possible **

My fingers & toes are crossed for you

So far, I'm finding it ok apart from the tiredness. I've been having nanna naps on the couch every afternoon while DS has his nap. My belly hasn't gotten big much yet (only 18 weeks) and so I find I can still lift DS. It's a bit awkward putting him the car atm though, can only imagine it's going to get worse as I get bigger. I'm a bit more worried on how I'll cope when the baby arrives, will have 2 under 2. Hoping this one doesn't want to feed 2 hourly for an hour each time!

I found the second pregnancy reasonably easy - in fact it went much quicker as you are so busy focussing on your other child that you seem to worry less about every little pregnancy related thing. However, as some others have mentioned, I think actually looking after a baby, as well as a toddler, is much, much harder than being pregnant with a toddler. That's my experience anyway!

It was hard for me, because the pregnancy was much harder this time, so much so that if it had been my first I may not have ahd a second child! I had bad morning sickness for the first two tri's, then I hurt my back and was diagnosed with gestational diabeties and I went into labour at 35 weeks so I had to spend the last two weeks on the couch. Managing all of that was hard enough without having DD to look after. I couldn't pick her up for the last 2 months, she was very good she would play while I would watch her. Not something I enjoyed and I did feel very guilty.

That said I find it a lot wasier to look after the two girls than being pregnant.

Im back ... been working....and looking after a 13mth old getting molars...

We have decided to really try in November as we are going to Darwin for xmas and DH wants me to be able to have a few drinks go on tourist walks and just be able to enjoy my hoiday without feeling 'pregnant' so bless him and im with him lol Last time i was only a few weeks preggers and we were over in Tassi visiting the inlaws, and i hated driving and exhausted.

The next step is to visit the GP as my BP is a tad high 145/85-99 for the last few weeks... but i was 150/100 when i decided to be induced to have Alistair .... and i havent been back to have it checked i have just worked out... so i thought right i need to have a break from the wine to lose the 4-6 kgs that have crept on since being married in march, go on a healthy eating plan (not that our diet is full of rubbish) get the all clear from the doctor and make sure this body is in top shape to start making babies.....

til next time

its hard. Mine are 14 months apart and somedays I thought I was crazy. But the older they get the easier it is and it's soooo worth it. My older boys are so close and they have a very strong bond. They entertain eachother, play together and generally get along well
