Coping with two or more

[Lorna]

For all Mums with 2 or more kids - How do you cope! Lol!
What was it like being pregnant whilst looking after your other child? Was it harder than the first time round?
I imagine because your first time round there is just you and your partner you can rest and have early nights and lazy days but when there is another child
in the equation you dont have time for that. Plus how did your other kid(s) feel about another baby being brought into the family?

hiya Lorna!...well I've got three girlies (a 7 year old and 2 year old twins) and i honestly don't know HOW we cope as i have chuff all patience!!!....i think its a case of we've gotta cope!!
Having a very supportive partner also helps who mucks in and changes nappies/brushes teeth/puts to bed etc
we don't really get any ME time, maybe about an hour a day and then we are too tired to do anything exciting!!
My eldest daughter was a dream baby as she slept through from birth and hardly ever cried but i have to say having twins was a major shock to the system lol

Hi, I found 2 easier than 1, Think its down to not being as nervous second time round lol.
I felt really at ease having abigail plus think it helps she was a great sleeper (well both kids are) Jayden has loved having a baby sister they play really well together and they dote on each other.
I breast fed both kids too which helps free a hand so i could read to jay or play games whilst breast feeding I even hoovered once lol!

Hiya I have 3 girls (7, 5, and 2) the pregnancy part is harder when you already have lo's because you can't rest whenever you want. My oldest was quite jealous the first time but once they hit a certain age it is great cus now all the girls are really good friends and it is probably easier having more than 1 now they are at this age. They generally play away together and always have each other to play with if they are bored (the major bad point is the constant fighting lol).
