Scared

[MomFromCanada]

Hi,
My dd is now 2 yo, and we are planning to have another and to start trying in the next few months. Quite honestly I am scared to have another! I had a bit of a hard pregnancy with my dd, I either gagged on or threw up everything. My labour and delivery was hard too. I think, oh my goodness, how will I handle 2 kids!?! Is my body ready for another kid? I have been working so hard at losing weight too, it's discouraging to think I am going to put more back on and then have to lose it yet again! Anyway. We are looking forward to having another but at the same time just hoping it will all work out financially too.
Thanks for listening! Any advice would be great. Thanks!

God will never leave you or forsake you and will only give you what you can handle....when you get pregnant again, it will be in his perfect timing! I think every Mom is apprehensive about going from 1 to 2! Rightfully so! You're normal! I was! I had also just lost the weight and then got pregnant....but hearing that heartbeat for the first time outweighed any weight issues...and it will come off again! Just watch what you eat while pregnant and you won't be in that bad of shape after delivery if you only gain baby weight! Don't scrimp or diet, just snack on healthy things and try to eat healthy!
Good luck! My transition from 1 to 2 was awesome and my 2.5 year old is potty training at the same time too....plus I work from home part time....you can do it!

I think anytime having a baby you question whether you can do it. I know I have lots of "what ifs" with this one (our first...and very much planned) I know the finacial part of it all is hug. but like breezykc2 said, He will never leave us or forsake us. He will give you a baby (if his will) and he will provide the means, finacially, physically and mentally. it is all in His hands and we just need to remind ourselves that when those "what ifs" come in. Just continue to pray Gods will and if it is in His plans he will take care of the rest. Much prayers for you during this time.
