Having a second child

I'm looking for support and reassurance.
My OH and I have an 18month daughter, we recently wanted to have another child as she seems so ready to have a sibling and we can't complain she is fab with her routine and loves other children and babies. I have found out that I am pregnant and is it normal that I am now absolutely terrified? Doubting whether this was the right thing to do? Is it the right time? Should I have waited until dd was older? She will be just over 2 when baby will arrive. I'm trying to be positive but right now all I can think about (and feel) is the lethargy and sickness that I'm getting, then scared about trying to manage a 2 year old with a newborn? The guilt that I am also feeling towards dd, I don't want her to have less of me. I probably sound so stupid and my OH is so excited, he will be around more than the last time, but I'm finding it hard to shake these feelings. I love being a mum and I always wanted to have more. Im not fond of being pregnant and unfortunately dd birth was so traumatic I can't give birth naturally. I'm worried I won't be able to give my all after the birth. Am I being ridiculous or are these feelings normal and does anyone have any advice on going from 1 to 2 with 2 years between them? X
