Worried I won't love my second as much as my first

Currently about to pop with my second born. I'm so anxious at the horrible thought I won't be able to love him as much as my first born. It's been in the back of my mind and I really try and ignore it, but as the date gets closer I'm more and more nervous.

I’m sure this is probably a very common thought for expecting mothers to feel, but I promise as soon as baby is here you will love them so so much! You just feel like this now as you love your baby more than anything ever, and can’t imagine loving anything the same but I promise you that you will! On the small chance that baby gets here and you do struggle to feel that way, there are lots of people that you can talk to who can help you to build up that bond with new baby ❤️

Completely normal! I was worried about that my whole pregnancy, untill I give birth. I think it’s just like how when it’s your first child , you know you love / are going to love them so much but nothing can actually prepare you for how much love you feel when you do meet them for the first time It’s the same emotions but because the second time you have a reference to how that love feels and how huge it is , naturally that gives you somthing to worry about. And pregnancy hormones are wack 😂🫶🏼

I was very worried about this too! My little one is 6 months old now and I love her so much! It took a few weeks. Not gonna lie. But it did with my first too

This is the reason I give when people ask if I want a second child I alsways say “no. I can’t imagine splitting my love that I have for my son. I want all my love to go to him”
