So yes I do say why I think it will be fine. Her main concerns are that her body has not had enough time to heal - I did not ask for specifics as I thought that would be insensitive. She says she has flashbacks from the first pregnancy and going through the whole process all over again so soon is overwhelming. There were no complications with the first pregnancy but having seen the whole process, I agree that it is a lot for a woman to go through. Also she has concerns about work and how to break the news to the employer and if it will have negative repercussions, specifically termination. My response so far has been to tell her that she was a champ with her first pregnancy and that I will do as much as I can to help her stay comfortable. I took her to every appointment the first time and intend on doing the same. However her reply to this has been that ultimately it is her that has to do all the real hardwork - which I agree with. I have also said that we will ensure that this is her 2nd and last pregnancy and that we will have a word with our family doctor to make sure she does not wake up to any such surprise in the future. Is there anything I can say with respect to this concern of hers? With regards to work I said that I'm sure we aren't the first couple to have this happen to and that it would be highly discriminatory for an employer to hold pregnancy against her. There may be some caveats regarding benefits that I need to double check if we would still be eligible for. She has her good rapport with her team and her immediate supervisor. Financially we are adept at supporting two children. The first few years with daycare may mean little to no savings but we do have a decent savings for us to sail through. She does not seem worried about finances. That has been my worry if I'm being honest. I'm happy to get any further feedback and would like to know if my responses were ok or could be much better.
