Still can't believe I'm pregnant...and just 10 weeks to go! DC2 freak out.

[Mylittlepuds]

I know this is silly but this pregnancy was a total (but absolutely lovely) surprise. After the initial unadulterated shock I didn't really have time to dwell on it as much as when i was pregnant with DS1 as he's 20 months and keeps me busy.

Anyway it's all kind of crept up on me and now there's only 10 weeks left! I just can't get my head around it - and I don't know if it's because the baby was unplanned or if it's normal to feel this way when you are so busy with your first DC. I literally just can't imagine another little new person! Or envisage how much things are going to change.

We are excited but don't really chat about it too much - I'm quite nervous about the prospect of two and don't want freak myself out thinking about the practicalities.

How are others feeling?

I'm 35 weeks, DS1 is 19 months and feeling the same. Cannot believe how quickly this pregnancy has gone. I can't wait to meet our new little one and he/she was planned but I worry about how I'll cope with two. Can't imagine what it will be like at all but I guess I couldn't imagine it first time round either and that has worked out well. I'm sure we'll work it out somehow! Good luck!

It's totally normal. Our dc2 was very planned, but I remember feeling the same way - along with a little anxious about how on earth I was going to cope, how I was going to manage to love two little people the same way as I loved ds1 . . . .

Once your little one is here, you will adapt, enjoy and forget all about this phase. There will be so much else to do. (I really enjoyed the early days with ds2, sooo much more than the first time, as everything seemed less anxiety ridden - feeding, naps, what to do when . . . . You've been there before, done that before, and of course, you know that MN is here for all of the answers you dont have)

Congrats - and enjoy :)
