My daughter is 16 months and we just found out we're due in March...again...the day after her birthday! I'm terrified that my daughter will feel left out or less loved, but I think that that is a fear that only helps us to ensure it doesn't actually happen! Good luck!!!

I'm 15 months younger than my sister, and it was nice having her so close in age growing up. That said, while I'm not pregnant yet I plan to be in the next few months:) we're already working on some changes, including learning to be gentle and transitioning to a toddler bed (we currently co-sleep). I've heard that there are a lot of great books out there about bringing baby home. I've also heard that it's good to build a relationship with the baby in utero and your current child, encourage her to hug your belly and talk to the baby. I'm sure everything will go smoothly, and congrats on your pregnancy!

my 2 oldest were a yr and 11 months apart and are both girls and get along great they are 13 and 11 now.. my sister in law has 2 girls the baby was 2 weeks old at her sisters 1st birthday the first few months were really stress full for my sister in law and leaving the house with two baby's was hard but it got easier once the oldest one stared walking and now both of them are walking, the only bad thing about both of use having kids close in age was trying to get the older one off the bottle or passie, my oldest kept taking the passie from her sister while my niece always want the bottle that the baby didnt finish.. but the jealousy wasnt really there and they loved the baby. And you will have time for both of them. Everything will work out great.

I am expecting a baby in mid February 2011 and am not too worried about my daughter since she loves babies now. I am a little nervous about the extra amount of work having a new baby will bring, along with the fear I will not be able to give my daughter as much time and love as I am now. But I have been told that you grow a new heart for every child you have... Just introduce your daughter to babies and let her play with baby dolls as a way to help get her excited!

My hat is off to all of you strong mamas! We're on birth control, not planning to even start trying for a while yet (our daughter is 16 months) but I had a very unexpected m/c a few months back. Nothing major but it made us realize how unprepared we would be... (and has made me remember how much I miss the sweet little baby in my arms, now that she's so big and running all over the place!)

We're trying for baby number 3. Have been since our 16 month old was 4 months! I knew it would take a while though so if I HAD gotten pregnant right away I would have been scared LOL! But it's still not happening, but I would love to see a positive sign right now! Congrats!!!

I am due March 22,2011. I am super excited. My daughter will be 2 years old the same month the new baby will arrive. We have our daughter so spoiled and we thought we would have problems as well. I was talking to my Momma who had me then my brother only 14 months later. She said that she would let me go get diapers to change him, I would hold the bottle to help feed him, I would carry the diaper bag for her. Mom said anything I ask to do for my little brother she would allow me to do it so I would feel like a part fo it. Also when he was asleep during the day She would do extra play time with adn clean house after everyone went to bed. You will be fine. Good luck~

Yes, my son is almost 16 mos, and I'm due in Nov. We have been trying to teach Jude how to be gentle (he likes to play slap alot). He is pretty intrigued when around other babies, so hopefully it will be a smooth transition when the new baby arrives. Do you have any babies that you all can hang out with to get your daughter used to them? This might help. Of course, having one permanently fixed in your house will be different. I've heard that, if your daughter is going to be moved into a new room/big girl bed, etc, do this before the baby arrives, so she doesn't attach her room change with the baby (in case she doesn't like the change).

My son was born March 17, 09 and I'm due Dec. 10, 10!! I'm still stressing, but looking forward to having a little baby again since my first seems like such a big boy now!!

heheh my March baby was my second and my two are 14 months and 2 days apart I was shitting myself but they are best of friends!! the first few months went very fast and I learnt to adapt like BFing on the floor as my son was not used to mummy sitting still on the couch. I used a sling for the first part and then went to the double buggy.

my two nieces are 20 months apart and they get along great as well.

Congrats ! YOU WILL DO FINE!! I found out my friend who has a 2 month old is 5 weeks pregnant with triplets !! whahah thank your lucky stars you have a nice gap!

The Big One was 9 months when we were expecting The Little One. He was just shy of 18 months when we had Little. They are now 2.5 and 15 months and they are buds. To be honest, The Big One didn't seem to care when The Little One came. Things just had a way of working themselves out that there was no big difference in his life. You still manage to find the time to work it out, and as long as the majors in the Big Ones life don't change drastically, there's no real reason to stress. We never skimped on his bedtime routine. And pretty soon the Little One just melded into our lives.

Good luck! Adding one more to the brood always is an awesome experience.

My first son is 15 months old and I am due July 31 so 4 weeks from now with our second son. I am most worried about how I am going to adjust as most young children can adjust fairly easily to change in their environment. You can tell her doesn't really understand what is happening but we got books about being a big brother to read to him, we ask him where the baby is and he will rub my belly and he loves to give it kisses.

i have a 16month old and im 6 months pregnant...im hoping she doesn't get too jealous right now she loves attention...ive been trying to show her my belly and say baby but she isn't really interested in it yet...im just worried she's going to be mean to the new baby

It's all a balancing act. It's not going to be easy, but as long as you are including her, and making sure she feels special too, everything will be fine. A good way to do this is to have her help, get the baby's diaper, wipes, throw away the diaper, and when she does, make a super huge deal out of it, what a big helper she is and how much her baby brother or sister loves her, so on and so forth. I know it's really hard to make time for just the two of you with a little one, but try to once in awhile, that will help too. I wish you all the luck in the world and Congratulations! It will be worth all the hard work in the end!

I am, Expecting Sept 16th, We are very excited,

I'm due January 30th!
I am concerned about how my son will react to having a new baby around all the time, and I've been having worries about not being able to spend as much one on one time with DS, whether he'll be missing out because of how much time will be needed on the new baby, but we've always wanted a big family and it would be the same no matter how old he was when we had another one, and like Chelsey said, they'll be close in age (22.5 months apart) and hopefully friends.
We purposefully got pregnant this close because of that. There's 5 years between me and my sister and 8 and 11 years between me and my brothers. It makes it tough to even relate to them. So we wanted our kidlets to be close together :D
I'm not hugely concerned about how my son will react to a new baby. One of our friends has a child that is roughly 8mo now and DS has played with him happily multiple times over the last 4 months or so. I'm sure my son will be happy to have a companion :D

Good luck to the rest of you with your pregnancies :D and with transitioning your older little ones :D

I'm due Oct 30th. And my daughter is also 15 months. I'm worried about her being jealous. But At least they will be close enough in age that they can be friends.

Jennifer - posted on 06/28/2010

I am. I am due January 2, 2011, so the baby could be born in December or January. I don't know how my son will react, but I'm going to take him to the ultrasound and some of my appointments. I'm going to tell him that he's going to have a brother or sister.

He'll be about 22 months when the baby is born. So, he should be more independent and hopefully more cooperative and understanding at that time.
