@Kimberley aw thank you so much for your message. So much is going around in my head. I've worrting about everything and some feelings I recognise from my first before she was born. I think once she's in my arms I will be so thankful and my love for her will just grow x
Absolutely, and you’ll know what you’re doing with a newborn this time round too it’ll be second nature ! Baby wearing helps a lot, you’ll be amazing and it will be amazing ❤️
Thank you, i really needed this chat. Just massively overthinking everything. I also don't want that this time we have a little girl, which will be looked after by my MIL to interfere with our time with the baby. Like her wanting to see her earlier than we want etc.
Super understandable, and it’s good that if you’re anxious to set some boundaries early! I think it’s very normal and natural to go into overthinking mode I think it’s part of nesting haha I was induced for my second too and having a date almost made me feel more anxious, although I did enjoy our sneaky coffee just me and hubby before going to the hospital ! Always here if you need a natter ❤️
Ill dm you x
I’m still in first trimester with my second and have a 18 month old, it keeps me awake at night already worrying how we all cope with a new baby! I think it’s so much more daunting this time round as we know all the difficult bits that come with a newborn as well!
The difficult bits with the newborn feel like second nature ❤️ I knew I wanted to cosleep and breastfeed on demand and baby wear and it helped a lot because I could still involve my toddler :) she helped get nappies, pick clothes, I involved her in everything Early days we watched Disney and ate treats read books etc was a hard but special time, now my youngest is 1 and adores her big sister, and big sister adores little sister, they are so funny together ❤️
So so soo normal, I bet it was such a shock how life changed when you had your first, and now you anticipate it now, and knowing the process of birth now too can add to the anxiety ❤️ I remember looking at my eldest and thinking how can I love anyone else, and when I held my second girly my god the influx of love overcame me. Your heart doesn’t half it grows, double!!! It might take some time, you might have big confusing feelings, but they are so normal and your not alone ❤️ You can cope, mummy’s are reactive and adaptive, first few weeks can be in survival mode (lots of cartoons, lots of treats for eldest) and you will find your rhythm. If you need a dm I am here :) x
