Pregnant with number 2

After trying for a while I have just found out I am pregnant with number 2. Now I am terrified. Unlike June baby, this was planned but I feel guilty about having these scared feelings. Worried if I am doing the right thing about that my daughter will get less attention, or the new baby isn't as good as her. And I am terrified about starting all over. My daughter has started to love playing with her baby dolls and has just started calling them 'babies', so I can sense she will be a good sister. They will be 2y 4months between them. Has anyone else got scared even though it's planned?

My first wasn't planned and my second was I was scared with both when I found out. Think it's the shock of it's actually happening. We have been trying for our 3rd for almost a year and if it ever happens I know I will so scared when it actually does. A mix of emotions congratulations 🥰

I’m about to give birth to our second (20 month age gap) and despite being planned and excited to welcome a second, I have felt like this most of the pregnancy. Just feel so guilty and conflicted and don’t want to let my girl down. Even though she seems to be understanding a little and playing with her babies too (obviously not really knowing the reality to coms). Also feel guilty towards this baby as not thinking of them in the same way I did my girl. But I think it’s very normal to feel this way and is a massive change. Everyone says it’s normal though and once baby is here, you just double the love and learn to juggle both. I’m still scared but hopeful it’ll all turn out well. Leaving my girl to come to hospital was so emotional.

Mine were planned fertility babys. When I fell pregnant with my second I got that guilt feeling about splitting time and when he was born i really tried to keep it like before and I couldn't so I got my oldest to help with baths and changing and reading books he loves it been a big brother. It's totally normal for these feelings x

I’m 18 weeks with my second. Planned with FET. Feel guilty every day!!!
