Why am I not happy?

Erin

So I found out a few weeks ago that I was pregnant with baby number two and let’s just say it definitely wasn’t planned. My first one wasn’t either. Both Times I used birth control but for my first pregnancy I was mostly excited. This one I am not. I just started college and now will have to put it off for the summer since I’m giving birth. I’m terrified of bringing another kid into the world with the way it is right now. I love my son and didn’t want our alone time together to be cut short. I don’t ever want him to feel left out or like I’m not giving him enough attention. I’m actually so emotional over this and need some advice. I know eventually I will start to feel happy but I’m scared of postpartum depression with the way I feel right now. I’m terrified I won’t feel the love for this one that I do for my son. It’s so overwhelming

My kids are 18.5m apart and I honestly love it. He's not going to remember a time before his sister was born, so he's not missing anything, and he absolutely adores her. When everything first shut down, it was so hard for him because he's social and he couldn't see his friends. She was born in May and he was so happy to have a playmate, even when she was basically just a potato.

Trust me i felt the same exact way you do, it was me and my son for 4 1/2 years together. My daughter was planned.. But once i got pregnant i was so disconnected with her i felt bad for my son and etc.. But once she was born i adored her, my son adored her. Everything fell into place. It will be okay, i know this is a big change but it will all be okay. Which how old is your son?

He’s almost a year and a half 😢 I wish he was older so it would be a little easier
