feelings of guilt
do any other mamas have any feelings of guilt with baby #2 in the sense of your first born feeling excluded? my son will be 21-22 months when his little sister arrives and i’m feeling so sad that the days of just us are coming to and end😔. i also feel bad because i am having a girl this time around and i’m having an easier time with a baby shower theme, finding cute clothes, looking at hair bows where as i really struggled with my son. i tell myself it’s because i’m a girl so i know what to look for😂 but i still feel so bad. it’s probably pregnancy hormones but pls tell me i’m not alone

@Carley thank you for this🥹❤️
I’m due my second in April and already feeling this! My daughter will be 21 months when we have our son, and I just want to know that I’ll be able to give her all that she needs while looking after a newborn! 😬

Don’t feel bad! The mom guilt is intense with your second. You feel guilty your oldest has to share you with the baby since they’re still a baby themself. You feel guilty because your second never gets your time and attention the way your first did. No matter what you do you feel like you’re failing both of them. But you’re not! The first got the benefit of your time and attention and your second gets the benefit of your experience. They each benefit in their own way and you are the momma each of them needs, even when you don’t feel like it.
