Second baby guilt

I have a 2 year old IVF baby and we’d like to try for another one, but not sure if we’ll be successful. Anyway I feel so guilty about a new baby taking away from my time with my daughter. I’m sure this is something most mums worry about, but can someone tell me if this normal 😂 If we do have another baby I’ll love that one just as much won’t I?

Every mom with a second on the way has said this! Hahah Yet, every time, they end up loving their second baby just as much! Also, siblings are such a blessing! It may be a hard adjustment at first, but they will be so happy to have a built-in best friend!

I still have moments of guilt when I spend more time with one daughter than the other. But I love them both equally and wouldn't have it any other way. We would love a 3rd 🥰

The connection I have to my first IVF baby is different than the connection I have with my other children. It isn’t a more or less as far as loving them, but it is different. I think there is just something that hits differently when you struggle to get pregnant and do the IVF process and it’s finally successful. You’ll have room to love more children but you may also have different connections to them. My IVF baby was 1 when we transferred and had twins via IVF.

@Laura oh wow amazing! Congratulations. Was it from one embryo that split or did you transfer 2? Yeah this is what I’m worried about, but also I know her emb-sibling was frozen at the same time so will be just as special.
