Anybody having their 2nd/3rd etc child and not as excited this time round?
You know the tea... and you’re so busy with your first child/other children that you have no time to worry or stress about this pregnancy but worry about them instead...
I wanted my son SO much that I cried and told everyone and tracked every. Single. Day up until birth.
Now? When I found out I wasn’t excited, I was terrified and angry. We weren’t trying, we were just stupid a couple times and didn’t want kids for a couple of years, but with my beliefs, I’m against abortion or adoption in my personal circumstances and to own up for my mistakes. That being said, children are a blessing. I may not feel it now but I know I will grow to love this baby as much as I did/do my first.
That being said I’m also so stressed emotionally and financially it’s the worst timing in the world and I have no idea what to do. I’m actually looking forward to speaking with a psych and social worker so that we can be prepared and happy, good parents for this second baby and for both our children.
I dunno... the whole situation is just scary. I know women do it all the time but I guess i just need some encouragement or a chat with ladies who know the feeling.
