I totally understand feeling guilt or anxiety in your situation. That’s completely valid. You did absolutely nothing wrong but sometimes those are the times we feel the worst about our decisions or circumstances. I read somewhere that it only takes 8 minutes of undivided attention a day to feel seen for a child. My only advice would be that maybe this can ease some anxiety because 8 minutes where your newborn is sleeping to give your 16 month old some attention is pretty attainable. You sound like a great mom. My situation is a bit different but I have similar anxieties. I’m having identical twins and my heart breaks at the idea that I can’t care for them both at max capacity because there is two of them. I’ll be induced on Wednesday. How do you watch two young children at one time? I have no clue but I know the worry also makes me a better mom in this case (I hope). You’re not alone.
Going through the same thing 😢 my daughter is also going to be 1 1/2 when I give birth and it makes me sad that I won’t be able to give her all I am now
Same boat my toddler is 20months and I’m 33weeks pregnant rn so i feel you, it’ll be ok trust me, I’m so excited to have both bbys with me they’ll both be ok 💗💗💗
I’m 34 weeks and I want to get pregnant right away after having my first baby. You’re lucky girl this is great! You got this! We were made for this to be mothers.
