The 2 under 2 discussion thread - **labour arrangements**

[chele]

Hi ladies :wave:

I've not been really sure where to put this thread, but the idea is that each week we discuss a different topic around having 2 babies under 2. Perhaps you've had 2 under 2 and can share some of your experiences. Maybe like me you're expecting your next child and will have 2 under 2.

So in the future weeks we'll discuss things like pushchairs, house organisation, baby monitors, nursery and childcare etc. etc.

This week will just be an intro really.

So, hi, I'm Chele, 31 and mummy to Max who is 13 months old. I am 12 weeks pregnant tomorrow with number 2 and will have a 19.5month age gap between the two.

I do hope you'll keep popping in and out of this thread and hopefully pick up some hints, ideas and tips along the way

Chele! I remember you from the pregnancy forums last time round! Congratulations to all of you by the way

I'm Lara, I'm 26, mother to a gorgeous little girl who has just celebrated her first birthday. I found out I was pregnant with No2 only a couple of hours ago. When this LO is born, my children will be 21 months apart.

I will be interested to discuss all the different topics; I'm sure it will help a lot

Great idea!

I'm Kerry, 23 and have an 18 month old son, Noah Expecting my second in November (due date is the day after Noah's birthday!) and there will be a 24 month age gap between them!

I've been really worried and nervous about how I'll cope/how Noah will adjust etc etc. so this thread will hopefully calm my nerves a bit!

Hi ladies :wave:

I am 34, I have Abigail who is 16 months old and on Saturday I gave birth to George so I have a 16 month age gap! I still need to make a new ticker for George. We are only on day thee so I will let you know how things shape up. So far Abigail has been quite interested in George and wants to poke and prod him a lot. No sign of jealously yet but it is very early days. The hardest thing has been not really being able to eexplain things to her as she is too young to understand.

Hello! I'm TL. I have Otter, who is 21 months, and DK who is 8 months. They are exactly 13 months apart. They are joys! I also work full time, am an AP mommy, and tandem nurse them.

When I was pg with DK, I was very worried about how I would make it all work. So, I understand where the preggo ladies are with that.

I'll be happy to add whatever I can do the discussion topics.
