Second baby , mum guilt

Same here! I have a 2.5 year old boy and am also feeling terrible mum guilt. He loves being picked up and I'm worried how he'll cope when I can't do that for a while as I get bigger and I'm also having a planned csection (don't know the date yet) so I won't be able to do much with him for at least 6 weeks 😓

I have a little boy that'll be 18 months when little lady is due. I've been told from friends to make the most of sleeping baby and be fully engaged with the toddler, taking them places and stuff and they'll be fine but I also share the mum guilt

I have a girl that turned 2 in Nov, and will be having a boy in April as well. I feel the same. Also most likely going to have a planned c-section. My plan is to keep bedtime routine as me and her, and have her help me when needed so she feels included. I'm going to have a bag she can reach with the nappies and creams etc. Going to have his toys in reach so she can play with him and have her included in as many things as possible with him so she doesn't feel left out. I'm still worried how she will cope and so I'm also going to try and stick to our normal routine as much as possible. She will have the first week off nursery and then will go back 2 days a week. My only concern is that she too likes been picked up a lot.

Mine will be 18 months when baby arrives. Whilst it will be a change for them they won't remember a time without their sibling and there will also be super cute moments when they start to enjoy each other! Mum guilt is real and when baby arrives you'll also feel guilty that toddler still gets attention and baby doesn't like your first did!! 🙃😊

Feel the exact same ladies, my wee boy is 2 and will be 2.5 once baby arrrives and he’s very much a mummy’s boy and loves a good cuddle plus the one to one attention. Just hope he isn’t over jealous :( he’ll still be in nursery for his downtime but I’m aiming to make sure he never feels left out by making sure we take him to things so he gets that one to one

Same here (was 2 in December, due second mid/late April). I’ve found he does get quite jealous of me holding other babies/kids, but I’m not really sure how to manage it! I also just feel quite knackered most of the time so evenings I’m finding hard and trying to do the bedtimes so we get a nice time together but also brain keeps jumping to ‘how on earth are we going to do this when the baby is here’ 😅

Feel the same the mum guilt is horrible 😭. We put our little lad in nursery 3 mornings a week starting beginning of Jan so he has something that will stay the same when baby comes and we also bought him a pram and a dolly for him to cuddle and play with that we interact with too so it gets him used to the idea. I think I’m just going to prioritise him every second i can because the baby wont remember but it will make his transition so much easier.

I’m the same my boy will be 22 months old already I’m dreading leaving him , I’ve only had 1 night away from him and that’s the night before I got married and he was with his dad and that was over a year ago x
