Feeling so guilty

Hi all!

I just found out I’m unexpectedly pregnant with baby no. 2. My sweet boy turns 1 in a few weeks and he still breastfeeds around 6 times per day. It’s not that I don’t want another baby, my husband and I had planned to have 2-3, we just weren’t expecting it to happen this soon. I am sitting here crying and feeling so incredibly guilty. Guilty that my son’s breastfeeding journey will likely be cut short before he’s ready and that he’s still going to be so small and need his mummy’s undivided attention and I’m going to be so busy with a newborn.

I know people do this all the time, but I just can’t get past this feeling. I don’t know how I’m going to provide the love and care needed to two tiny humans. My heart is hurting because I want to be happy about a new addition to our family but I also feel like I’m somewhat losing what I have.

Any advice is welcome and please be kind ❤️
