DEAR DEIDRE: OUR baby is just six months old but my girlfriend has told me she’s pregnant again.
In the space of a day, I’ve gone from feeling on top of the world to feeling as stressed out as I’ve ever been.

I’m 25 and was so proud when our daughter was born.
She’s beautiful and is growing up fast.
I love spending time with her, talking and playing and making her laugh.
I don’t want my daughter to feel she’s been pushed out for the sake of the new baby.
I don’t want things to change.
I’ve explained to my girlfriend how I feel it’s too soon but she does not agree with abortion.
She’s 24 and she knows I’ll stick by her whatever we do but I feel such a mess.
DEIDRE SAYS: I do understand these worries but were you using effective contraception?
It’s your responsibility too.
Be honest with your girlfriend about how stressed you feel.
She may feel stressed too, so work out how you will manage two little ones so close together.
Take it in turns with the baby and your daughter so she still has one-to-one time with you both and doesn’t feel pushed to one side.
