2 year old and expecting another.

[lizbethsc69]

Hi. I realise that this will probably seem like a silly rant but I have just found out that I am expecting my second baby and I just keep getting upset all the time. We weren't trying for a baby and had assumed that we wouldn't have one without planning as our first child was conceived with fertility help. While I realise that I should be over the moon I am actually so scared as I love my son sooooo much I can't quite get my head around how another baby will fit into our lives without my relationship with my son changing. I keep crying all the time and then I feel guilty for not being happy. My husband is very understanding but I'm onviously upsetting him by not being happy.
I can't sleep at night and keep thinking I'm going to wake up and it'll all be a dream. I'm so sad and I don't know why. Everytime I play with my son I have to fight back the tears as he's so lovely I don't want to upset his life at all by having another baby. My Mum is away at the moment and I really miss her. Sorry for banging on but I just want to try and feel better and happy about having another baby . Thanks, Liz

It doesn't sound silly at all, i totally know what your going through. It took me till i was about 5 months to get my head round having another baby.I seriously considered not keeping the baby but i couldn't do that. Aimee will only be 13 months when he is born and i feel so gulty that she might not get my full attention when she will need it. I hope with time you will start to feel better about the new baby.

Hi my Daughter is 2 and im expecting my second too, some days i feel the same as you, but then i remember the joy of a newborn baby, and how much Jaycee will love her little brother/sister! Just get him involved as much as you can and he will be fine!
Congratulations too by the way!

A sibling is the best gift you will EVER give to your son, honestly, it'll take a bit of getting used to for him, but the bond he'll get is like nothing else on earth.
