any other Momma's feel this way?

Question

So, this month my husband and I started trying for our second child. Our son is only 7 1/2 months old, but we want them to be closer in age... Last night was our first time trying, and as much as I want this second baby and hope last night worked, I can't help but feel horrible for my baby boy. Like he's not going to be my only baby. I know it was bound to happen because I really want a big family, but I feel so guilty. Some other mom friends said it was normal, but have any of you Momma's felt this way before? If so, when did it go away?

Answer

Yes, we have two kids (one from diffrent dad but he's raised him since he was 1 is now 5) and we have a 15 month old,and I'm currently 7 months pg, sometimes I cry that she's not the baby or didn't get to be the baby long enough, but she's still the only girl😊.

Answer

I know this is different. But I have this feeling as well. Only with my dog..... she's a big mommas girl, will only go on walks with me (if you put a leash on her and it's not me , she lays down and waits for me), and only eats when I am home. When I am not home she just sleeps all day and sulks and stares out the window for me. I am in the TTC process but I actually get anxious thinking about how much attention she will not get when I have a baby. We are ALL going to have to make some major adjustments hopefully soon. She is spoiled rotten. I treat her like a child lol

Answer

My first two are 6 years apart and it was very strange when I was pregnant with our second.  My daughter and I are so close , I wondered how having another child would impact our bond.  I worried that she wouldn't be able to adjust bc she's been the queen b of the house for 6 long years. .. I worried I couldn't give her what she needed with a new baby and that would feel unloved and resentful ... our son (2nd baby) is three and looking back it's almost silly I had so many worries. Our daughter adjusted better to having a baby brother then I did.  There was a transition period of course,  but the age gap helped bc she understood that pumping ect tool a lot of time.  Eventually I got in the ryrhm of things and was able to balance having an infant and an older child and both her and I love our "date nights " .. we do little things like dinner , just the two of us  . I signed her up for gymnastics , where it's just her and I...ect.  once in awhile she gets jealous , but overall the Teo kids are besties.  As much as her little brother drives her nuts , she loves the love and attention he gives her.  She's like his everything right now.  She wakes him up every morning to play and I constantly catch them talking and snuggling.  I love their bond.  We are 31 weeks pregnant with a other little girl and this time I just feel happiness to expand our family.  My daughter is through the roof with excitement and keeps calling our baby "her" baby.  She constantly rubbing my belly and talking to her baby sister. ! My first and 3rd will be 9 1/2 years apart and I'm happy for the age gap.  .. I also have a step daughter a year younger then my daughter.  I'll post a pic.  The little girl in white is my step , in pink my daughter and in the middle our son....💖💖
