Birthing mum to non birthing mum

[MumMT18]

Hi, I know I am being irrational but think I just need some advice.
Me and my wife have a DD already who is 3 who I gave birth to. When we met my wife did not want to give birth but seeing me pregnant she changed her mind. We decided to try again for baby number 2 and my wife got pregnant rather quickly, which I am thrilled about.
I am just finding it hard to adjust to being the non birthing mum and I find myself almost jealous as I always thought I would be the one to carry. We went through a clinic and all the times my wife had IUI I was not allowed in and I am not sure if this is why I feel the way I do.
I am being nothing but supportive to my wife but I find myself getting upset when I am by myself and I just wondered if this is a normal feeling or if I am being ridiculous and need to get over myself!

I’m sorry you are feeling that way, considering you weren’t able to be physically present during much of the process I think your reaction is really normal! Many non birth mums have said similar things even with being in the clinic etc, hopefully when little one arrives those feels will ebb away as you get to know your lovely son/daughter x
