Second baby

I felt exactly like this when I was due my 2nd, it’s completely normal! As soon as she was born I felt an overwhelming amount of love for her. Your heart really does grow and you love them the same amount for different reasons. For me, seeing my first born with my second born just made that love even stronger. X

I had my baby gjrl last Friday. And I thought the same and felt such guilt about my son not having our attention but I love my baby girl so much. I can’t believe it! X

I’m so relieved to be reading this! Have been worrying about the same thing x

I'm also expecting my second and just feel I have had no time to connect with the bump this time! Last time I'd done yoga and felt so connected with the baby before the came, but this time after finishing work, dinner and getting a toddler to sleep all I want to do is flop and not think about anything!

I defo feel the guilt too! But for me its more that i am sure i will love them enough but its more that I can’t show it in meaningful enough ways. Like i haven’t done half the things for baby 2 like i did for baby 1. But rn as my 1st is also a december baby, its the toddler i feel guilt for as is his bday is up in the air and rn he is sick and this is 1st time I can’t breastfeed him and he is having lots of tantrums and i physically cant console him and he is playing a bit too hard n forceful for me rn too. Its tough 🫠

Yeah i got this every time but honestly as soon as they're here it's like your heart just grows and makes room for even more love x
