Any single mums expecting who already have kids?

When baby comes my son will be just turned 2 years. I am trying for VBAC so there is a chance I may end up with a section. My sons dad has him 2 nights a week and will want to come and see the baby when its born. But I do not have much of a support system other than my mum but she cant stay over and cant get any time off work when baby is here.

Just wondered if anyone else is in a simular situation and how you plan to cope? Or anyone who has already been through it?

Trying hard not to panic but I am now 18 weeks pregnant and getting more and more stressed the closer to baby coming I get. I really want to enjoy it but how will I tear myself into 2 between a baby and a toddler aswell as having no sleep and no time to tidy, clean or have a bath? :s

Hi hunni, i have 2 children already and expecting my 3rd. When i had my 2nd, it was a big step going from 1 to 2. Im not gonna lie, it is tiring but you get used to it. I would say the first few weeks are the hardest at nights but after a while, things do settle down.

Dont forget, the new baby will be sleeping the majority of the day at first so you can get on with things and when they start getting more alert in the day, you will more than likely be in a routine anyway.

Hope my post made sense and hope it helped a bit xxxxxxxx
