How do you prepare for a second baby?

Hi mums. My firstborn is turning 18 months soon and my hubs and I have been thinking about having a second baby, but we’re both nervous about the prospect. I’ve been wondering, for those who have children close in age, how did you know when you are ready for a second baby? - what preparations did you make? Like, financially, mentally… even the sleeping arrangements, how did you settle that? My daughter is still breastfeeding but sleeps in her own cot. - any advice for us before we start trying for a second baby? Much appreciated, thank you!! #advicepls

For me and my hubby, we see how cute our firstborn is and we can’t help but want to give her a sibling! I am turning 34 this year and had low ovarian reserve so we don’t want to wait too long. And to our surprise, we conceived #2. By the time #2 born, their age gap will be 1 year 9 months. I think for me I was 2 minds about it as I’m afraid to go through morning sickness again and discomfort in the body but really hope to have #2. So when it happens, it’s really God’s timing. We didn’t even calculate ovulation. Just be prepared for what is to come and if you have enough help I think it’s ok to try for #2 since your firstborn already turning 18 months.
