Two babies under 2

[H16]

Hi ladies,

Not been on here for a while as my little one keeps me super busy- you know what inquisitive 1 year olds are like lol. Anyway I just found out today that I am pregnant with baby number 2 and wondered if any of you lovely ladies have two children under the age of 2 and how you cope lol. My oldest will be 1 yr 10 months when number 2 arrives x

Lovely to see so many of you joining the 2 under 2 club huge congrats to all of you ladies.

I had 2 under 2, then 3 under 3.5. I won't lie, the early days can be pretty tough but once you settle into a routine it's great. Hard work but lots and lots of fun!

Wishing you all happy and healthy pregnancies x

Lots of BFPs in the last couple of days! Congrats to all of you.

I had 2 under 2 (21 month gap). It's hard work and times when I get to be with just one of them, I wonder why I ever thought having one was hard! I often feel torn between the two of them and there are loads of times where they both need me at exactly the same time and I have to prioritise one over the other. At the beginning it was hard dealing with a toddler when I was sleep deprived from being up seeing to my son every couple of hours. Then we went through a lovely period that was actually quite "easy" - both had naps, one over lunch (while I gave my daughter dinner), then my son would have his lunch (while my daughter had her nap). It was great. Lasted a couple of months, then since my son's been crawling, then walking, it's been absolute bedlam!!!

Wouldn't change it for the whole world though! xx

I have a 19 month gap between my boys. I'm not going to lie and say it's been easy but i didn't find it too bad. There were a few days early on where both boys were crying and I just cried too but there weren't many. I decided early on to do everything together and do activities that both could do, I wore Archer in a sling while D took part in groups etc. With D In the early days I tried to do something with him every day that was just for us - craft or baking. We now do a few classes separately with the boys but mostly they are always together and the best of friends x

Amelia will be 18 months when LO arrives. When I found out I was pregnant I felt really guilty even though it was planned. Think it's because she will still be so young. I am used to the idea though and going to enjoy spending time with her now.

Hi I'm worried how im going to cope I have a 6 month old and just found out I'm pregnant, going to be hard work hey lol x

We have a 14 month age gap between our boys and I find it relatively easy now, was a bit manic to start with. I'm a stay at home mum and my partner works so it's mainly me looking after the littles. Once you have established a routine its much easier, I find the hardest part is the beginning. Me and my 2yr old have lots of 1-1 time when the littlest naps, I was worried we wouldn't have 1-1 time any more but it's worked out fine. Us mums always find a way and things always work out for the best

I'm glad there are so many of us in similar positions - will be great to pool advice and ideas later on x
