BFP today and utter emotional wreck

[FiftyShadesOfGreen4205]

I already have a child, and this is a much wanted baby, yet I'm terrified, emotional. DD will be three next year so not a small gap. Please remind me these feelings are normal

Absolutely normal(I have 5dcs). I panicked after every bfp.

When your LO arrives you won't be able to imagine life without them in it.

Congratulations & be kind to yourself

Thanks Angelto it's reassuring to know you felt the same and done it five times.. (Pregnancy I mean..)

I feel so bad and guilty for feeling this way. I do blame the hormones etc but I think I (conveniently) forgot their impact.

Is it also normal to think you won't have enough room to love another one? Sorry, v sentimental but I can't imagine loving anyone like Dd.

Congratulations!

Absolutely completely normal. Congratulations x

Absolutely-you worry you won't be able to split yourself but give it time-you'll get into a routine & don't be afraid to use all the support you can.

They all have their own personalities & need you in different ways & at different times.

You will be great & you have more love than you know was possible

Oh my, thank you wise mumsnetters (runs off to sob).

I'm 38 weeks and for the first 2 weeks after I got my bfp I was an emotional wreck too , I didn't even want to talk about it- now I'm so excited I can hardly wait

Congratulations Naoimi

Congratulations to you too! Good luck with your pregnancy, just think of how excited your dd will be when she hears she's going to be a big sister!

I have a 6 year old, tried for 2years with our daughter, I had days when I thought I couldn't love another like my son, but my love doubled, I honestly love them both the same. I love the amazing big brother he has become and how she idolises him. She lights up when he comes home from school. I love them both so much I could burst.
She is nearly 8 months now and I am 23weeks pregnant.
It's amazing, give your head chance to get around it. Enjoy every moment. Congratulations x
