[sweetbean]

I have beeen posing on mn for 2 years my daughter will be 2 in feb and i have always found it a constant sourse of support and once again i'm in need help !!!!!!

my dh and i have been talking about having another baby for about 6 months and had always said that we would start trying in late 2007, but he now says that he would like to try in march or maybe even feb which to begin with i was trilled about as i would love an other child and have never had any resivations before, but for some reason i seem to be becoming more and more worried about having another baby now that i know we are about to try again ! is this NORMAL why do i feel like this i don't understand i was so looking forward to having another baby and now for reason i feel like this it makes no sence at all to me i'm scared
please someone tell me is this normal as i really don't undrestand why am feeling like this.

i would also be very greatful if anyone could tell me why so many people say that the second pregnancy is worse that the first and if this is always the case ??

thanks and sorry for the long post.xx

You're probably scared because you know this time what you're letting yourself in for. At this point your life has probably gone back to some sort of normailty and you realise that you'llbe going back to the sleepless nights, the worry, etc etc As for pregnancy second time round, for me the hardest part was that you don't have time to relax like the first. The tiredness was just soemthing else - no afternoon naps to help ease the morning sickness, no putting your feet up etc. It's like the pregnancy takes 2nd place to the child that is already here. On the positive side, it goes a lot faster than the first and you don't have time to worry.

I'm in the exact same situation, only it was me who was desperate to start trying, and now that we are I am scared.
It's partly because it has all become real, and I am scared of losing what I have with ds. I can't imagine loving another child the way I do him, and I'm scared i'll regret having another baby.
I think a lot of people feel like this about thr second though, it's almost a bigger deal than the first

You won't regret it. You'll still love them as much. The guilt on the otherhand just intensifies!!!!!
