Influencer Louise Cooney has opened up about her second pregnancy, saying she feels 'very calm' and 'a lot less anxious'.
Earlier this month, Louise and her husband Mark Sweeney shared the exciting news that they are expecting their second baby later this year. The couple is already parents to their two-year-old son Jude.
Louise has now shared more details about her pregnancy, saying her family is 'so excited' and that she's already almost 22 weeks along.
Writing on her Substack, Louise said: 'This second pregnancy has felt very different to my first; having a toddler means there hasn’t been much time to stop and think about it, to note down everything, read the apps every week and take bump pics.
'I’m not complaining though, it really has flown this time because of that. I’ve felt very calm and a lot less anxious this time than I did with Jude.'
Louise said her toddler son has been telling everyone at his creche that he is going to be a big brother for months.
'Jude asked me yesterday, "why is the baby not here yet?” he’s known for a long time now, and has been telling everyone in creche for months, which has been pretty funny. He doesn’t get that it’s gonna take another 4 months; he’ll be sick of hearing about it by the time it’s here lol,' Louise wrote.
Louise said she thinks this time of the year is 'lovely to be pregnant' and revealed she will welcome her newborn just before Christmas.
She said: 'It’s a very similar timeline to my pregnancy with Jude (3ish weeks in the difference) and I do think this time of year is lovely to be pregnant.
'Flowy dresses, baggy shirts and stretchy shorts have been my best friend. I also know what I’m in for in terms of the time of year; we will have a teeny tiny baby for Christmas, I am so excited. It’ll just be so special.'
It is a busy time in her house as Louise and Mark are busy toilet training Jude ahead of the new arrival.
'We said bye to his dodies (soothers) and did toilet training too (which has been going great! He actually woke up the last 2 nights in the middle of the night looking to go, which I wasn’t expecting so soon!)
'But so far so good. It feels like a big weight off to have done a good bit of the heavy lifting there, before I get bigger! We will literally be just done with nappies & dodies, and we’ll be straight back into them.'
