Oh Widdly, that's a whole other story! Actually I kept getting sick during my second pg - I had gastro 4 times, and a virus which gave me vertigo and vomitting once. In fact I had gastro for 4 days before Thomas arrived 3.5 weeks early, prob bcos I was sick. I don't know if being sick so often was co-incidence or bcos Jack brought bugs home from daycare (even though he never got sick himself once) or whether it bcos I was tired and rundown (I was also working 4 days a week).

So there were certainly difficult times being pg with a young one. The fatigue was difficult, esp in the first tri. And it was def worse when I was sick. A couple of times DH had to stay home from work to look after Jack. But we did all manage and certainly would again if we decide to TTC again. I think you just prioritise (I got a cleaning lady, DH pitched in more, and some things around the house didn't get done LOL). And you get by bcos you have to. Jack was great. He was old enough to understand and he'd be so good around me when I was tired or sick.

There is a good thread about this in the parenting section called coping with small age gaps. It talks a lot about coping with 2nd or subsequent pg. You should check it out. But don't let the negatives put you off - I would do it all over again!!
