High worry/anxiety about your first?

Question

I'm 18 weeks pregnant with my second child, and recently I've been VERY worried about my first. I'm isially a very layed back parent with her as far as worrying that she will get hurt/lost/etc, but lately I am constantly VERY worried that something terrible is going to happen to her. I know  being irrational, but it doesn't help the worrying. Anyone else?

Answer

I'm having a similar problem!  I work an erratic schedule and sometimes take my first into daycare on my days off so I can get stuff done at home. Lately, I've been feeling incredibly guilty about doing this, and thinking that I should spend every moment with him in case something were to happen to him and we don't have much time left together. I'm thinking that maybe it's just anxiety over feeling like I won't have enough time to focus on him once the new baby comes?

Answer

I've been having nightmares that something horrible happens to my son and I basically hover all day. he's not too thrilled...he's a very annoyed toddler lol. but yeah I'm kinda in the same boat. I was pretty laid back before I got pregnant.
