Hi
I have a 15 month old daughter. I had 2 miscarriages before I had her so she is my precious rainbow baby. We are very close and I love her more than I thought possible.
I'm now pregnant again and due in 2 months. This baby was planned as well and I'm really looking forward to meeting him but Im feeling guilty because of having him so soon after having my baby girl. She is still little and needs me and the new baby will take a lot of my attention away from her. I'm worried she will think I don't love her any more
We planned a short gap between our children because I didn't want her to be jelous of the new baby. But she is very clingy and throws tantrums whenever I don't pick her up or play with her when she wants to so I'm worried she won't take very well to her brother as she won't be the centre of the attention any more.
On the other hand I'm worried that I won't love the new baby as much.
Can anyone with 2 or more children share their experiences?
Should I stop giving my daughter so much attention to prepare her for what's coming? At the moment I'm spending most of my time playing with her and cuddling her because I feel guilty that soon I won't be able to do that any more.
