Hi<br>
This is a good question.<br>
I had low lying placenta during my second trimester. Could not do much household chores. But blessed with my elder one n my hubby, had my in laws support too. My hubby being a marine engineer could support me over pH calls mentally, physically I took care of my elder one and check ups,<br>
You keep talking about the sibling sis or bro, bring your child near you talk and make the child feel ur tummy, tell him about the baby growing in the belly. My son always asked me ur tummy is growing my baby is gonna come soon. I use to show reports and discuss with him. Since ur kid is two u can try to take ur child for shopping, ask him to pick dresses and baby items for the new baby.... Let them chose and enjoy.<br>
Jus a suggestion if u have a play group near ur place u can try for it now only to send ur first one to play for two three hours so that u can have a break n rest n do rest of the things. Indulge ur elder one in every activity as much as possible... Try to cuddle in between, do not necessarily rude, emphasize on the things you need from. Ur elder one softly. This way they don't feel left out.
Hi vinaya seriously it's a big task for a mom to Handel this situation because elder baby only too small to understand the things.it needs best support from family. It's is necessary to give much concentration on elder baby he need more love .this is the best time for him to know the world.u can have relaxation with small baby up to 4 months after that equally u should take care of both. Otherwise elder will feel jealous about small baby but really he don't no the meaning but in his activity u can feel it.u should creat proper bonding between both babies.every babies r different different challenges will come.we should Handel them.but being mother u won't find time for rest as first delivery.its a big mental and physical challenge for a mom.
