Re do with your whole pregnancy and birth

Night sounds silly but sometimes I wish I could go back and enjoy that first pregnancy again and all the excitement of telling families and preparing for your baby to come.

All of the scans you got to go to and was so excited to meet your little baby and then when they arrived it seems like 2 minutes ago and now my baby is 10 months old and I am wondering how did this time fly by! Makes me so sad to see him grow up but happy at the same time.

I know I'll have another baby at some point but I will miss that first time around and I do feel like I will feel guilty having another baby but I want my little one to have a sibling and have someone to grow up with as it's the best feeling.

There's a lot I wish I could have done better and when I get upset I always think of these things like not being able to breast feed and him having Jaundice and the HV being useless! Inviting family over straight away after having baby instead of having a new born bubble honestly the list goes on... I guess just want some one to chat to and reassure me I will be ok and everything will be fine.

My baby starts nursery soon and I am honestly dreading if! Where is my little bean ♥️

Aww I feel similarly OP, expecting my second now and it feels really different! I relished my pregnancy and had the time to go easy and embrace it.. the birth was the best experience ever and I’m worried that this time won’t be as amazing and I won’t feel like super woman after. And now I worry about how my eldest will adjust.

These times are so special and it’s great to celebrate that rather than always looking to the next milestone, birthday etc. Enjoy your little one (where you can, it’s not all rosy is it!) and embrace the wild ride of motherhood!
