About to lose my mind!

Since I was a little girl, I wanted my babies to be close in age. I had my first in May of this year and changed my mind, but my husband decided he wanted another quickly. I'm positive I'm pregnant again... All the symptoms are back including a missed period. I will love this baby just like my first, but I'm having a hard time coping right now. Any advice on raising babies 11 months apart?

My daughter is 9 months and im 32 weeks pregnant so they will be 11 months apart if hes on his due date im nervous to how shes going to handle having a little brother she is spoiled with attention but he will be here soon lol she also is very loving so im sure she will grow to love him and i got the older daughter to help him make the right choices and the little brother who can protect his sister lol i cannot wait to have my son and see her reaction :) good luck to u when i first found out i was pregnant again it was very overwhelming i had a lot of guilt because i thought i would have more time to spoil my daughter but as time went on the quilt vanished and i am so excited and love both my babies so much... Hope it gets better for you im sure it will

Me and my sister are close in age and growing up I loved having someone always around. Our older sister that's 7 years older then us was always a little bitter she had no one to play with 24/7 like us. But we were a handful with the sneaking around and messes lol

I think when babies are close in age. They Feel Like It's Competition. And don't always end up close. I'm a Ftm but my aunt had her kids close in age and it was hard for her. I think they were 15 months apart. But it's different for everyone.  I want to have my kids 2 or 3 years ago to have my body heal and have time to get my daughter ready for a new baby .

I had boys 15 months apart.  No lie, it was very hard.  I was exhausted and those years are a total blur.  I literally can hardly remember them.  Take lots of picture.  But all in all, it is a good experience and my sons are very close in terms of being buddies (when they aren't being enemies that fight.  :))   Just make sure you hold off before adding a third because at that point, they outnumber you and your husband.  Ha, don't go there.   good luck

My babies are 11 months apart! I'm due again on Sept 10 and he will be 4 years apart from my first and 3 years apart from my second. My first 2 are best friends. They literally always have someone to play with and my daughter loved feeling like she could help me with my son. They're so much alike and it's so funny cause everyone thinks they're twins.

My babies will be a year and a month apart... had my first daughter November 22,2014 and I'm due with my second December 25,2015 but I had a c section with my first so I have a scheduled c section so I'll have her the 18. I'm nervous as ever. No-one in my family has had babies this close. I mean my sister and I are a year and six days apart. I'm the only one who's had a c section in my family and it terrifies me all the things that could go wrong because I didn't wait a certain amount of time before having another one.
