Not sure how I'm feeling

[greengirl13]

Just new to MumsNet so not sure of all the abbrev's and stuff. Gave birth to my 2nd child 6 weeks ago and I already have a 2 year old. I'm not sure if it;s just the baby blues or the whole new situation but I keep feeling really worried. I worry that my 2 yr old isn't getting the attention she needs, she doesn't go to nursery yet. I worry that my hubby and I aren't getting to do much together. I worry that people will love my first child more than the second. This all sounds really silly but its concerning me. My friends and I have all lost touch but I am desperatly trying to keep in contact with them. We are just growing in different directions. I constantly have this horrible gut feeling and I'm worried it may be PND. Is this normal? Does anyone else know where I am coming from?

I think it all sounds fairly normal life with more than one child is just a long worry from beginning to end. i remember looking at my eldest child on the day we introduced him to the baby and thinking 'what have we done to him??' :) Welcome to mumsnet

oh hun really feel for you. Whats your Health visitor like? Could you talk to her, there may be groups she can put you in touch with. If HV no good what about your GP sometimes it just helps to air it all and if that's on here then go ahead.

And welcome to MN

Thanks - I did feel that too. Keep feeling a little bit guilty that because we have brought our 2nd child into the equation our first child won't get our full attention. Not many people I know have 2 children so I don't have many people to ask advice from. My hubby and I share everything equally which is a big help, don;t think I could this on my own! I have a new found respect for single mothers

My HV isnt that great. She just thinks its a normal worries, there are a few other things going on too, step father going in for operation and eldest had to go into hospital too. She had a lump on her throat. She thinks all will settle down in the next couple of weeks, which it may!
