Anyone else feel guilty?

Amanda
So I have a beautiful son who just turned 1 in April and I found out at his party I'm pregnant with number two.... we always planned on having two but now that this one is in it's way I feel horrible... my son is my world and I nfeel like I betrayed him. Anyone else feel guilty when the second one is coming? I feel like I should have had more time one on one with him. 😢

I am 16.3 weeks with baby #3. My oldest is 6 years old and my youngest will be 1 on the 25th of this month... My oldest is excited about having more siblings and I'm not feeling guilty because I know they will grow up so close! It makes me happy to know they will have a strong bond and my oldest will be close to them because she already is!

Sometimes I feel a little bad that she'll have to share my attention. My kiddos will be between 18-19 months apart. But your little man is SOOO adorable.

This is number 4 for me and I've felt horrible guilt. Mainly because mine are all older and i feel I'm going to ruin their lives.

My husband and I got sole custody of his 8 year old son a year ago. Up to that point, he'd been with his mom full-time. I'm 25 weeks pregnant, and with all the other huge life adjustments recently, my stepson is not excited about a brother. I hope he will change his mind once baby is here.

My 7 and 9 year olds are not at all happy about this. the 10 year old is thrilled though. Hopefully the other 2 come around after wee know the gender.

My oldest are 18 and 13 my youngest at the moment is 7 months and they absolutely love their baby sister. My son has so much fun with her and my daughter takes care of her like if she were her own child. They cant wait for theit other baby sister to be born

My first 2 are about 19 months apart... And they are thick as theives! My 2nd and 3rd are 22 months apart... They're very close too... All 3 of my boys are so, so close and are just the best of friends. My 3rd and 4th are going to be 3r months apart. I love that my kids are so close and actually feel bad that there's so much more time between my 3rd and 4th. Every mama I know has some guilt about something. And my mom says it's always gonna be like that (yay! 😒)... But you love your kiddos and that's all that matters! Guilt will come and go, just enjoy your babies and the time you have with them individually or together!

The only time I feel guilty is when I cant rock her to sleep because my belly is bigger and my back hurts. Shes 7 months pregnant and Im 23 weeks, I lay down on the bed next to her to help her fall asleep.
