Freaking out.

[Inglori0us]

16 weeks pregnant, 19 month old dd and I keep feeling I might've made a terrible mistake. Feeling very guilty, worried and overwhelmed already. I need to sort my head out.
Anyone else feel like this?

Hi Inglori0us, I'm pg with baby number one. Just over 18 weeks and I keep going through spurts of panicking. I'm not sure whether it's because it's my first child, or if it's just that reality is kicking in and I'm now thinking of how much this baby is going to change things. Congratulations though, I hope you and your new addition are healthy.

Hi inglorious, sorry you are feeling so overwhelmed about things. What factors are making you think you made the wrong decision? What are you specifically worried about? X

I had about 2 or 3 weeks of feeling like that, at exactly your stage and a toddler a month or so you get than yours. I just talked it out with DH whenever it was too much and it just 'lifted' by itself. Probably not much help but just wanted you to know that these things aren't always something to stress yourself further about and that you're not th first or last woman who will feel this way

Thanks. My toddler is brilliant but she hardly sleeps during the day and it takes most of my energy to entertain her/stop her throwing herself off stuff/get her to eat. I just don't know how I'll manage when really pregnant and knackered.
I just carried on as usual with my first pregnancy. Nothing about my life changed, I still worked, went out, went to the gym and all that jazz and I felt great.
This time I feel exhausted, have hip pain, nausea and vomiting and it all seems like a massive effort that's just going to get more so as I progress.
I'm dreading giving up work again (I'm p/t freelance so it's a PITA to build up client base again and Mat Allowance is shit).
I am pleased I'm pregnant as I wanted two kids close in age but it just seems so daunting. The new baby won't get my undivided attention and my toddler will get less from me too. This = guilt.
I try to look at the positives, like I will kinda know what I'm doing and hopefully will he more chilled with this new baby as I've done before.
My DH is fab, but works away a lot so I get a lot of time to think (worry).
Another positive is my dd loves babies so hopefully she'll be cool (unlike a friends toddler who HATES his new brother. Eek).
