Second child

I just found out I'm expecting my second child. I'm excited but terrified, my daughter is only 11 months & this was not planned.
Anyone have any advice?
We've miscarried in the past so I'm nervous about if that happens again but I am also about to graduate so adding a child to the mix complicates things.

Thanks :) I'm not one for medication, I'm just slowly getting used to the idea.

Hey girl. I'm right there with you. My baby girl is 10 months and I just found out I'm already 17 weeks pregnant with my 2nd. No period since still breastfeeding so we had no idea. I would say maybe try some meditation or just something to help relieve stress.  School, baby, and another one on the way can be overwhelming, but you can do this. You got this momma!

My son turned 1 in December and am currently 21 weeks pregnant. I too was scared but it's working out now. Though am on bed rest till I deliver and can't pick him up much am happy am progressing well. Because I have lost 4 babies in the past.

Going from one to two children isnt as bad as you think. It may be bad timing, but you'll make it work, I had 13months between my first two and there will be 12 months between my youngest two. It's hard while they are young, but it's nice that they have each other to play with x

I'm currently 39 weeks with my second and I was scared as well but let things work then out on their own. My son was 11 months when I got pregnant again and he is 19 months.  It's scary but I'm excited now.  Congratulations
