Feeling guilty

[Ann87]

Hi iv just found out I'm pregnant with my second child and it's only early days ( baby is very much wanted)but iv suddenly had this overwhelming feeling of sadness n guilt towards my first born,she is 6 and I'm no longer with her dad,this baby is to my new partner. It's always just been me and her. Everytime I think about it I cry x

It's quite a common thing OP....many Mums get this guilty feeling when they're expecting a second. I think also, you might be worried because your partner isn't your DD's "real" dad....and maybe you're concerned he'll treat her differently to your new baby?

Is that right? If it is, talk to your partner about this...tell him about your feelings of guilt and let him know about your worries.

The biggest thing to remember though is that a sibling is a REAL gift to your DD. She'll have a brother or sister which is a fantastic thing.

Maybe that's its I dont ever want her to feel pushed out or different,I mean hes amazing with my DD and she loves him and she has a good relationship with her own father and I know she would love a sibling she asks me enough haha like you said maybe a chat would make me feel better
Thank you x
