Is this our last pregnancy??

[@hstiles1952]

My firstborn son was THE BEST big brother! No jealousy! Now they’re 6 and 4- still no jealousy. When we talked about it and when we brought him home, we would say “look at YOUR baby.” “Your baby brother adores you. Look how he looks at you! He thinks you’re funny!” We just built up the relationship as much as possible and made it as this is YOUR brother, not this is Mommy’s NEW baby. I also think personalities play a part in it. Our oldest is so sweet anyway. No matter what, give your oldest time with you alone to make sure they know they’re seen.

Thats such good advice!! You did a great job on that one! Mine are 14 m😅nths apart. Idr doing or saying that. But then again, idr much of those days. It was like having twins!! My husband and i would just laugh when things got crazy!

[@CL-xyz9987]

@@acdc6467I have a 17mo and a 2mo. 15 months between mine. a friend (who's in her 60's now) who had twins and then had a baby when her twins were 19m and she said that having twins was SO much easier than having 2 under 2 (or in her case 3 under 2). Because, when you think about it, my kids won't ever be on the same schedule for more than an entire year probably. At least with twins, you can get them on the same schedule as infants. Plus, they're developmentally always on the same level. A toddler and a newborn is not for the weak!

I struggled pretty badly with postpartum depression after my first pregnancy, and I told myself during my entire second pregnancy that I WAS NOT going to struggle the way I did the first time... and let me tell you, I didnt. Your mind is so powerful and the way you talk to yourself is so important. Best of luck to the both of you!

A REALLY helpful thing we found was letting the other kid(s) help out with whatever needs attention. Whether it be the baby, cooking, feeding, cleaning, plus letting her know she’s the best little girl and big sister. Take her for dates with and without the baby. Family time, but her special time as well. Include her in picking out outfits, blankets and whatnot for Brewer, and I love that you already said giving her grace. You two are amazing, and you will find a routine that works for your family. 🤗🥰♥️

Our daughter turned 3 and then 2 weeks later our son was born. So exactly a 3 year age gap. She has been THE BEST big sister and helper! Our son is now 10 months and she still hasn't shown any jealousy. We also just make sure she feels special and gets one on one time with each of us. Good luck guys!!

[@marianvinderslev9374]

My first born will be 4 in November, her little sister is 2 months old. She is so so helpful and loves her little sister. As soon ad we got home we made sure that whenever baby needed mom or dad, the other would be checking on our oldest. We ask her to get a diaper, or wipes, or she helps prep bottles when we need to. Getting her as involved as possible has been magical. Showing her how to play with her sister has helped. On top of talking to her through out the whole pregnancy about everything baby. Letting her pick out outfits, getting things that match the baby for her. Etc has completely eliminated any jealousy there might’ve been. Just really try to get Ivey as involved as possible.so even though the baby is getting the help, Ivey will still feel like it’s time you’re spending with her

I feel like our experiences are the exact same? Minus the diabetes but my daughter was three when I had my son. The pelvic and overall pain being pregnant with him was outrageous! Didn’t throw up during his like I did with my daughter but honestly I’d rather the throwing up! I was worried my daughter would be jealous too but three years in the perfect gap! She has times where she needs more attention than others but she is truly just the greatest helper. She shows him so much love and always wants to help (feed him, walk with him now that he’s starting to walk, etc). It’s the sweetest thing to witness.

[@jennafercarlisle7934]

I had girl, boy, boy- all 2 years apart. Best advice I can give is accept help when it’s offered or even ask for help if you feel overwhelmed, and include the older sibling in as much as you can❤ You’ll do great! Congratulations!!

[@sabrinasimmons741]

If I could give any advice would be always include her and everything and reiterate that this is our baby. Also try to get her a little boy baby doll so she has her little baby to take care of too and what was really useful for me was I would do one on one time with my older child and then our child also had one on one time with dad And our child was never jealous and my twins were always our babies that’s the best advice I can give.❤❤❤❤

GURL!! I so agree that’s the IV in the hand was the worse part of birth and recovery!! I gave birth unmedicated to a 9lb 2oz baby.

[@acdc6467]

You are a shero!! For sure! I wasnt medicated for the 1st time either! But we didnt have insurance and i had just witnessed my sister get an epidural. The meds went up her body and she couldn’t breathe so i was petrified. They rushed her to a C section. She was having one anyway, but they frantically rushed her to surgery. But my 2nd? We had insurance and i was just going to see how it went. But the same person that gave my sister hers was going to do mine and my mother was freaking out. I didnt care who it was going to be…i still wanted one. But as it turns out it was too late…so i say i had both of mine unmedicated 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮. It made for a long time of braggin’ rights tho!!! 😂😜😂😜

[@shanlynn81]

Always hated the IV in the hand 😬! All 3 births I had it in my hand. All 3 births were unmedicated also (wasn’t my plan - I just dilate quick and got to the hospital too late)… I did get an epidural my first birth at 9cm dilated and that definitely didn’t work AT ALL and my middle daughter, I got an epidural and they put it in wrong and had to redo it and it was too high up and didn’t work 🤦🏼‍♀️ my son, I almost gave birth in the car… he was already crowning when I got to the hospital and that was horrible but he came out in 3 pushes thank God

I have a girl who is 3 and a half and just had a little boy 3 months ago, similar to you. My daughter is THE BEST helper. She loves him soooo much. But way hands on and takes a lot of patience because she does want to be so involved. My daughter has a lot of energy and was never calm in the womb and still doesn’t sleep through the night where my son was so chill in the womb and I questioned daily his movements. He’s so much more chill now and sleeps much better than her. Now that he’s out so their personalities definitely correlated lol. Another thing is my daughter was 6 10 at birth and easy to deliver and my son was 8 11 and took wayyyy longer but his position wasn’t great. Good luck with labor and delivery and welcoming the new baby💙

[@daracollins7596]

When my oldest came to the hospital to meet her baby sister, we had a present for her that was from her baby sister, and she was so excited that she got something special because she was the big sis! Some really good advice that I heard was when you bring the new baby home to have certain jobs that only the older sister can do. For example, when you bring the baby home, nobody can meet the baby without big sister introducing them, or she always picks out the outfit, or she always goes and grab the clean diaper. Making them feel like it is their baby and not just your baby.

We had our last child a baby girl when my middle boy was 2! I think that age gap was honestly the best! But just remember ivy is so used to having mommy and daddy to herself!

I feel like my daughter didn’t get jealous until her brother was mobile. It’s like he wasn’t a person until he started doing things she could do… and then she was like oh crap he’s not going to stay a tiny baby. They have a 2.5 year age difference, she was not bad jealous for sure though, I think having a boy /girl combo helps. We just made sure that we gave her special time and praise. I’d take her shopping or to get coffee by herself and they are 15/13 and they are the best of friends! I think if you spin her jealousy to not a negative thing, and make sure she’s loved they both will be great! ❤

[@MegaTelenovela]

The best recommendation I got from my friend was to get a membrane sweep. I had a planned induction due to having a baby with a small gestational age and wanted to prevent getting induced with Syntocinon because I was worried I wouldn't be able to cope with the pain drug free and would end up getting an epidural. Getting an epidural can stall the contractions and increase the risk of needing a C section. So I've requested a membrane sweep and was able to get it 2 times. I ended up having contractions naturally and giving birth on the scheduled induction day.( 2 days after 2nd sweep) Highly recommend if they can do it for you. ❤ Sending all the strength and prayers mama. You can do this! 💪🏻

He’s never shown any sign of “jealously” and mind you him and I co slept until she was born (she is still in between him and I and still breastfeeds) sometimes he will ask me to hold him so I will! Until he’s over it 😂 he holds my hand in bed and he loves her so much! No jealousy ever but they do fight 😂 she’s my feisty baby and the instigator! But despite that they love each other so much!

After my first baby, I said I was done. No more babies because my body fought the pregnancy, and I got really sick. I was in HELP syndrome, so we had to have him at 31 weeks. 12 years later, I got pregnant with his little brother. Even at 12, he showed signs of jealousy. Probably not as bad as a younger sibling would, but he definitely showed a little jealousy. He's 18 and his brother is 5 and they are inseparable. Every child goes through it no matter the age, but you 2 are great parents, and we all know that you will make ivey feel so loved and special. Good luck with your new bundle of joy.

Something I've been told, is to talk to your baby the way you talk to your toddler. For example, if you say "give me one minute Ivey, Brewer needs xyz" when Ivey needs something, say "I'll be right back Brewer, Ivey needs xyz" and that helps with the jealousy or them feeling as if the baby keeps you occupied and no time for them. The language we use around our toddlers with new babies is so important

[@rintintin7292]

When my boy was 3 months old I got pregnant again. He was 1 yr 1 month old when baby sister was born. We were very diligent with making sure things were fair. If you give one a hug the other gets a hug. One gets a kiss the other gets a kiss. One gets a snack/toy whatever so does the other. Make sure people around them we required them to be fair. I’d rather x not bring a gift if there is one for both. Encouraging the relationship between the two was key. Every single time big brother wanted to hold baby he got to (even when baby was just falling asleep, he got her) we encouraged nice touches and cuddles between the two. And if he wanted a break from her he got it. They are two peas in a pod. All school year he waited for her to get off the bus, he held her hand and walked her to her classroom every day. I didn’t even know until the end of the school year when one of their teachers mentioned it and said how sweet they are together. They are now 7&8 and still are best of friends.

[@happycrazyfun5883]

One thing that helped us whenever we welcomed another baby was to have someone (Grandma in our case) take the baby out of the room before having older sister (or siblings) come in and be reunited to mommy and daddy in the hospital. Then, while older sister is sitting with mommy, Grandma would bring baby into the room to meet older sister. Also, we would have the baby “give” older sister a gift when they met. As our kids got older, we started having the older siblings pick out a gift to give to the baby when meeting him or her in the hospital, too. We have five kiddos (12, 10, 8, 5, and 2), and the previous “baby” has never been jealous of the new baby. We also call the new baby “our baby” or “your baby” to the older siblings, to help them to feel that the baby is their baby and not just mommy and daddy’s baby. Praying for you all! Ivy will love baby Brewer! ❤ so happy for all four of you!

[@happycrazyfun5883]

I heard another mom (of six) recommend that if both kids are crying at the same time, she would go to the older kids first before calming the baby. She said the older child would remember if mommy or daddy went to the baby first, but the baby would not remember if mommy or daddy went to the older child first. I think I tried to keep this in mind with my last couple babies, but I don’t remember this scenario happening that many times tbh.

My husband was hell-bent to get it done. I begged him to wait for a couple of months so we could talk it through. It isn't fair to do it so soon after birth, especially with all the hormonal changes. It was a big decision we should have both made. The finality of it all can be emotional period let alone right after birth. So take time to heal, bond, talk, and enjoy before making that decision. Prayers for you all on the birth and the new journey with the little man. Congratulations! 👣

My middle daughter and my son are almost exactly 3 years apart (birthdays are a week and a half apart) and I don’t remember any jealousy. Now they are almost 9 and 6 (both have their bdays within the next two weeks) and they fight 24/7 😅. My son is such a wild man and has anger issues 🤦🏼‍♀️. My first two pregnancies were girls but my third was my son and phew, I was miserable. He sat sooo low I could barely move and gained so much weight (unlike my daughters) and he was ALWAYS moving and he still is always on the go! Good luck and we can’t wait to see baby Brewer 🩵

One thing we did is we had a gift for our first child that was from our new baby and we gave it to him at the hospital when he met his new baby sister. He got super excited! It also gave him something to do at the hospital and something to talk about as he was asked about his new sister. "She's cool, look what she gave me"

Parenting styles are different. I think you'll do great with Ivy and jealously. Let her be a helper and that will help with it, too! ❤

Just had a boy all natural 6 weeks ago. You’ve got this!! Second was sooo much easier. I’d deff recommend a worship playlist. Inviting Jesus into the room changed ours so much and it was so sweet. Our hospital also let us bring in a star light projector and we only had that on and no lights. It was very intimate and sweet! Good luck, you’re going to rock it :)

Give your daughter a gift from her baby brother, that way she knows he loves her and wants to be her best friend.

My 2-1/2 yr old spit on her 2 month old sister. Jealousy. 3-1/2 years between babies isn’t going to make it easier in my opinion. Epidural first, natural second. First weighed 8.13 and natural delivery weighed 9 lb 9 oz. Dr didn’t come for over 2 hrs. to deliver. 2 daughters both named after gr grandmothers. Abby and Callie. Second daughter is extremely intelligent and graduated college with masters summa cum laud and earning $200K. First daughter creative artist. They are all so different. Wishing you all the best for your healthy happy family.

Devin make sure to drink drink drink water so that you are hydrated. That makes a huge difference in the pain at the iv site.

Our kids 8 years apart and our way to handle it was that we really made sure to spend one on one time with our oldest and acknowledged our oldest feelings and say I hear you and I’m sorry that you feel this way I understand it’s hard when dad or mum (i was out) get back let’s do something like build lego play video games . It was the teaching thing of you have the right to feel this way but you can not act on it

In regard to health issues, I recently discovered Barbara O'Neill who is an expert on the human body and how to achieve and maintain good health. She says it is possible to reverse things like diabetes, heart disease, etc. As I'm sure you have discovered, medical issues can become overwhelming. I pray you will check out some of Barbara's videos of health seminars she's given. I have learned so much from her. God designed our bodies in a miraculous way and has given us foods to use so they can heal and function properly. God bless you!

Oh my goodness, when I had a knee replacement last December, I told my nurses I'd rather have a baby than this pain. Good luck with your birth ❤

I have 3 kids 4 and under and never really dealt with jealousy stuff until my kids got older and would fight over toys etc so don’t worry about it until you notice it! My first 2 labors were 24+ hour labors but my 3rd was 9 hours everyone is different!

I’m having our first baby in September, a little girl and I love watching these kids of videos!

[@ambermoore7866]

I have 3 boys. And I'm sure boys process and handle things slightly different than girls. But, my boys handled the transition so well. My first was 2.5 when his brother was born. And he just didnt seem to care at all. They got along so so well. He loved watching his brother hit milestones. Then when i had my third boy, him and my second were 3 years apart. He was obsessed with his baby brother. I actually had to keep a close eye on him cause he would smother the baby in kisses. 😂 All 3 of them get along great. I was definitely very blessed in the transition.

[@BlessedMama95]

I pushed for 3.5 hours with my first, 30 minutes with my second, and 9 minutes with my third! It’s definitely faster each baby!

[@patriciacaliento7156]

Brewer must be here by now. Hoping all went/goes well ❤

[@paigemackenzie24]

If you guys ever felt called to you could adopt in the future too! That way you don’t have to worry about another pregnancy!

[@brookesanderlin7858]

I have a girl and a boy. My daughter was newly 4 when he was born. She was the biggest helper but now that he is a toddler and a busy body she is a little jealous but still very obsessed with him!
