Thinking about starting to try for a second guilt

My DS is now 16 months old and my pill runs out in a week - I planned it this way as we thought it'd be the perfect time to start trying again. Now though as each day gets closer to the end of my pill packet I keep feeling more and more guilty. I keep thinking will my son be ok with a brother/sister, how will I give him enough attention with a baby etc? I know I'm being silly and we definitely want another so it'll have to happen at some point and we don't really want to put it off as I'm mid thirties. I don't even know what I'm asking for really! Is it normal to feel guilty?

Yes, very normal. We always planned a second but I still had that initial feeling of guilt about it. He'll undoubtedly benefit more from having a playmate though than he'll lose in attention, and remember you'll have another 9 months from when you get pregnant where he'll still have you to himself.
