Guilt

I felt exactly the same and my 2nd came 2.5 weeks early and the week she came I hardly saw my boy so I felt so guilty. But I swear when they arrive your heart doubles. I do feel guilty trying to spilt my time but I’m Sure it’ll get easier xx

@Hannah Uh it’s so hard isn’t it! That’s good, I hope it gets easier for you bless x

I had my second on Tuesday. I was so worried about my son but he's been a champ. He is happy to have cuddles and do things with me whilst I also hold/feed the baby. He's been with his dad and grandparents a lot and I haven't done his bedtime yet, but honestly it's not as bad as I expected and I think it will get much easier after this week when I'm feeling more rested and less sore!

Just had mine yesterday 🤟 bad day because it was my daughters good work assembly which i missed and we were both gutted. But she has dealt with the new arrival like a trooper. She gets to meet him later today when she comes back from her dads. We were booked to go see Moana 2 which unfortunately i wont be going to but she gets to go with my partner still 🥰 it will be fine is what im trying to say, all the feelings but all the love ❤️

I’m due my second in one week and feel the same 🥺 I feel so awful for my first born who’s not long turned 2

Same here, I feel so emotional and so guilty. I can't imagine loving another the way I love my boy, I know I will but right now it just feels like something will imminently be coming between us. I'm so worried we won't be as close anymore

Well guys, if this helps at all we are home with first and second born and first born has taken it so well. She is interested, but has enough of her own space if she wants to get away. Just showing her that it is change but not in a way she is less loved etc. ❤️

Thankyou everyone for being truthful, it’s really helped. I do hope it subsides and everything works out :) x

It is an emotional time for everyone but more so yourself with all the hormones. Just need to take it how it comes. My first is almost 6 so she is a little more understanding but can probably have more jealousy too. Second babies will learn to slip into family life and firsts have to get over it in the nicest sense 😂🤷‍♀️ xx
