Freaking out about becoming a mam of two!!!

[Fionalouisew]

Hello,

I am nearly 9 weeks pregnant with a planned pregnancy and am really freaking out. I have a son who is 7.5 and had a really awful time when I had him due to his father walking out at 16weeks pg, I was young (21) and scared but carried on and now I wouldn't have it any other way.

My bf is wonderful and will be a fantastic father but I'm really panicking about being a mother of TWO.

Is it normal to feel this petrified?? There had been lots of tears xxx

Well firstly, congratulations! I would say given your circumstances you have every right to feel petrified and completely justified to feel that way! But now you have a fab bf to support you with this pg and that's how it should be. I was 24 when I had dd, now 28, expecting our 2nd after 3 mcs, I've been with dp for 7 yrs and I still feel petrified from time to time so I think we all feel it to an extent! I worry about how dd will get the attention she deserves when this one comes along, how we will cope etc etc and it can get a bit overwhelming sometimes. Hope you're feeling ok and best wishes for your pg and the future. x

I have a DD aged 4, will be 5 in Feb, and I'm 17wks preg, bump is due end of Jan and I'm shitting myself! Although planned, I'm worried how I'll get DD to school (she starts full time in sep) and get myself and a newborn ready for 9am, if she'll feel pushed out and feel she's not having enough attention, how tired I'll be. The list is endless lol

I think it's normal to worry and I can't be the only one surely!

Awwww thank you for the comments, I think that maybe the bad experience has left me a little jaded, and the morning sickness making me feel more then a little vulnerable.
I wasn't even worrying about the school run! Ha! I think I managed to cope last time so I will again but I ve been thru the motions! All the other mothers I've asked said they haven't felt this way.
Thank you again xx
