Pregnant and Petrified........
Hi girls, sorry I havn't been on but was really ill over xmas and today my world has come crashing down...
An hour ago I did a test and I AM PREGNANT. I am sitting here crying and shaking in utter shock. I have tried ringing people but just can't do it,I havn't even told Rich yet, as yes we had planned for more children but not yet. I am only just enjoying Mason and we live in a 2 bed flat and I have no job and sooooooooooooo much is running through my head.
I know this may sound like a shitty post as I know some of you are trying but I am sooo upset and I know you girls talk sense, I don't know why I am upset as another baby will be great but I am petrified I will not cope. My mum has never been around and my support network is very small, I don't even know when I would be due etc........
God I am waffling on and am sooo sorry if this offends some of you but just need to let it out.xxxxxxxxxxxx

It's just shock, which is normal and totally expected. It takes a little bit to wrap your head around something so life changing, especially as you know exactly how life changing it is. Dont worry though you will cope amazingly and I genuinely believe these things happen for a reason.
congratulations and best wishes

P.S I got my BFP with Millie on the 3rd Jan and she was due 10th Sep so you would probably be about the same. xx
Definitely agree you need to tell hubby, maybe he'll be voice of reason ?
There are others on here who have found out they are pregnant when they have a lo only weeks old, try posting for them and see how they are getting on. CarlyBarly is one and I sure she'd be happy to speak to you.
Good luck babe, we're here if you need us. S x
We have Sam aswell who Rich has sole custody of so 3 kids under 30 just seems sooo surreal.
I look at Mason and know I have to have this baby, its just such a shock at the moment.
Thankyou for the dates Kerry, had a look at the calender and yeah its around that time, don't know exact date as periods were still abit erratic after Mason.
At least I don't have to start my New Years diet now!!!
Still havn't told anybody, will wait til Rich is home from work.xxxxxxxxx

Just wanted to add, I had two that were 22 months apart, one with severe medical needs and I was 20! You'll cope just fine - I'm not supermum am completely disorganised, but I got through and so will you! you'll find the next one gets pillared around as you're dealing with Mason and Sam and it will be a content little thing!
Good luck honey, how are you feeling in yourself?xx

Congratulations. I know kind of how you feel. My dd was 4mnths old when i found out i was pregnant again.. we were not trying and it was a massive shock, but we managed, it took us a while to come to terms with it but we did. Joe arrived in august this year, there is 12mnths 3 weeks between my two. It is NOT as hard as i feared it would be... honestly you will manage.
If you ever want to chat..

I got a BFP when Kelsie was 11 weeks old and I was terrified. You need to try and calm down though honey, as it wont do you any good. Speak to your OH later on when your LO is in bed.
Its not as hard as you might think having to close together. I have 12 months between mine, and to be honest its far easier than I thought. We have a 3 bed house, but Jack will go in with Kelsie until she is 3 or 4. Our 3rd bedroom is very small and could only probably fit a cot and wardrobe in there, whereas their room is about 20ft sqaure so massive!!
Sometimes you need to be thrown into the situation until you actually realise that you will be ok. It really isn't that hard babe.
Chin up!

I'm still in total shock, Rich should be home from work in an hour so starting to get panicky again but I know everytime I look at Mason and he smiles at me I know everything will be fine and he will make a great big brother.
Thankyou again, and I will repost when I have spoken to Rich!! x x x
i think you will do brilliantly, you always seem so confident and seem to have got on with motherhood brilliantly! i hope rich takes the news well.
my mate is 25 and has 3 kids and she is the best mum i know! she is tired sometimes but she says you just get on with it and manage!

congratulations by the way

big hugs
I totally agree with Vanilla...everything does happen for a reason.
Hope you & Rich got to have a good chat about it.
