Baby number two guilt

I just recently found out I’m pregnant with baby number two and I thought I would be more excited, but all I can think about is how I’m going to share the love? I’m feeling guilty and I don’t want too. Anyone else experience this and when did it get better?

I’m 35 weeks almost with my second and I still have that doubt of how can I love two babies the same, but I know as soon as I see them together my love will just grow in size 🥹❤️ you’ve got this

Maybe this will help...

I was feeling like that too and I enjoyed the time with my first born as much as I could. My baby girl is 6 months old and the bond with her brother is amazing. I love them both and would do anything for them 🥰

I was due yesterday with my second baby, still awaiting his arrival.. but I felt this the first month or so of pregnancy. I asked my mom about it and she said your heart just grows bigger for both of them and I’ve started to feel that already.

My mum puts it like this: love isn’t like water in a cup, which reduces by half when you pour it into a second one. It’s like the flame on a candle, which you can use to light a million more candles without ever reducing the size or the heat of the original. As I approach the end of my second pregnancy and look forward to welcoming our little boy to the family, that analogy is giving me a lot of peace. I hope it does for you too! X

Ooof. I could have written this. I’ve been reassured so many times, though, that when baby number two is here, my heart will just expand. I’m sure yours will too!

Hope this helps my son is 2 and my daughter is 2 months and they adore each other. My sons always playing with her and wanting to help giving her bottles and nappy changes it’s so beautiful to see xx

Feeling the same!
