Hi everyone,

I have just found out this morn that I am pregnant with our second child. We always decided to wait until our first was 9months old before trying again, which is fine, problem is, I didn't think it would happen so fast!!! I know that is totally the wrong attitude to plan a family around, but I guess I was thinking "Yeh right, look how long it took the first time..." We have literally had sex maybe 6 times in the last month (TMI...sorry), am I just overly fertile???!!!

I am happy (although I don't think it's really sunk in yet), but my initial reaction was "I am SO not ready for that first month home after the baby is born...again". The other thing is that DH is in the army and away A LOT, and I know for a fact that he may be away round about the time the bub is born. I have a bro and sis in Syd, but the rest of the fam (including my beloved mother) are in Brisvegas. I don't think I could do it if he wasn't here and I didn't even have my mother to help either!

Hence I am feeling a little trapped albeit excited that the adventure is starting again...this time with a toddler in tow...

Can anyone comiserate? Anyone else feel this way when they conceived their subsequent bundles of joy???

HELP! I need some wholesome, motherly advice...be gentle!

Jules
