Guilty about having another baby?

Question

I have an amazing baby boy who is 4 he was diagnosed with autism at the age of 2 and improved and they said he didn't have autism anymore it was just delayed learning ❤️ I'm pregnant with baby #2 and feeling guilty I love my son and I don't want him to feel as if I replaced him. Especially when I give birth I'm going to be exhausted all the time :( has anyone ever felt like this?

Answer

I haven't talked to a single friend who didn't feel this way during pregnancy with a subsequent child so you're not alone! It's hard when the baby comes and has to have your attention, especially if you're breast feeding...when you see the two of them together it will melt your heart! I promise! This is the first pic I snapped at the hospital and I look at it when I need reminded

Yes!!!! Our first born is our world. She is having a hard time adjusting to us even saying the word baby. It's breaks my heart. I feel very torn between happy and sad at the same time. Glad I'm not the only one. I think you'll be surprised how the two will work it out. I grew up with a sister and couldn't imagine my life without her... Even if she drives me crazy lol best of luck to u!

Answer

I have a daughter that is going to be 2 next month and I'm about to be 15 weeks with baby #2 and feel the same way. I don't want my daughter to feel neglected when the new baby comes. I plan on having her involved every step of the pregnancy and then keep her involved when possible afterwards as well. For example me and my husband bring her to all my ob appointments and she gets to see the ultrasounds (I get them every 2-3 weeks due to being high risk) and we talk about the baby and how she will be a big sister. I think if you just find special ways to involve your son and also have one on one time with him then everything will be okay 😊 congratulations and good luck

Answer

I'm about to be a second time mom as well and I also have times where I feel very guilty and like I'm going to miss alone time with my daughter too much, but ive done a lot of reading and found out this is totally normal to feel this way, and once the baby is here and you get into the routine of things you'll see how amazing everything is. Plus our babies need siblings!

Answer

I feel the same way too especially since my daughter is only 10 months old and I'm 35 weeks pregnant :/ and I'll be in the hospital giving birth probably for my daughter's first birthday. But I'm still going to do everything with both my babies I love them both.
