Does anyone else feel like that his when trying for baby?

Question

Today we’ve decided to let it happen when it does for baby 2 and my son is nearly 2. Today we started trying and I’m on Day 9 of cycle and realised there’s a 10% chance of this happening and now I’m not sure if I want this. Now I’m terrified incase this one of time works. I do want another baby but he would only be 2 years 9 months and is still a baby himself. He won’t be at nursery yet by time baby came if it did happen. Are these normal feelings? But at the same time I want them close in age. Why do I feel so muddled up?

Answer

I felt the same way. Now I’m holding my three day old baby in my arms while our toddler hangs out with her dad. I went back and forth during my pregnancy with fears but now that she’s here, it feels right.

Answer

Same here. But I believe it will happen in the perfect timing that would work for everyone

Answer

I think it’s normal to have some of these feelings. I’m currently 29 weeks with my second and my daughter will be two next week. I’m excited about her being a big sister and having another baby but it’s also bittersweet at the same time. It will definitely be different this time around as my time is pulled between two. I’ve just prayed this entire pregnancy to be able to keep patience and that I’m a good mom. I don’t want to become one of those moms that end up yelling and saying no all the time like I’ve seen happen when the second one is born.

Answer

I don’t know if it’s normal but I feel this exact way. I’m 10 dpo and got a faint positive this morning (our first month not using protection) and my first thought was “oh god what am I doing??” I totally want another kid and I can’t wait to see my son be a big brother, but I also have no idea how I’d deal with 2 kids. I mean seriously, 5 minutes after I took the test this morning I realized I forgot to do my son’s laundry last night and he didn’t have any clean pants today so I had to put him in a dirty pair for daycare lol how can I take care of 2? I was telling my husband how just the idea of a second feels so different than when we were trying for our first. Not like I don’t want one, but like a completely different set of fears. How to juggle two? How can I love another the same way? Will my son be ok with a baby? How different will they be? It’s so overwhelming.

Answer

My daughter is 3 months old and my son just turned two. My entire pregnancy with her, I kind of dreaded her arrival. I have pcos and needed clomid to conceive both of them. When he turned a year, we figured we should start trying Bc who knows how long it would take and I was already 33. It took one month 😂 there were SO many fears. And I didn't want to lose sleep again, and post partum is hell for me. I worried about my marriage, my son, money, etc. It's been a hard transition. I'm constantly exhausted and mom guilt has got me hard. But she's the sweetest little thing and I'm so thankful for her.
