Im 22 years old and have a gorgeous baby girl. i found out a few weeks ago im pregnant with my second baby, im really excited to be having another baby although i do get really down about it. What doesnt help is that my partner doesnt seem that bothered about it. He was the same when we found out about our 1st although he worships the ground she walks on now shes here. Ive tried to have serious conversations about how i feel but he just doesnt take me seriously, which brings my mood down more. i dont know if its my emotions getting to me with being pregnant or whatever but i feel like im really struggling.
Im worried about meeting with midwives again, when i met them with my 1st i had only recently moved into a new house and had tried my best to get the house ready for my litle girl before she arrived although i didnt have money falling out my pockets to have had everything brand spanking new. All they did was bring me down about not having this and that and always had something bad to say and never really gave me any positivity, i changed midwives 3 times because i didnt feel like i was getting anywhere with any of them.
i still need to book my first appointment with the midwives but im worried about what bad things there going to say this time and honestly rather they dont come to my house to slag me off again, can i request to only see them at the community centres or do they legally have to come out? I just dont want bad vibes brought into my house when i feel like i do at the moment. i have nothing to hide, my house is clean and tidy and will let them come in but i just dont trust them after how i was treated the first time.
Im also worried my little girl is going to think im pushing her away when the new babys here and i really dont want that.. we have a real strong bond with eachother already and i dont want to lose that. Im constantly tired but i try to brave through it for her with little help from my partner.

Please if anyone has any advice it will ve very much appreciated.

How do you feel when you imagine this new baby being inside you now? Is it just fear or is there love/excitement too?

Your dp needs to grow up and listen to your concerns. As for the midwives, mine never came out to our house when pregnant, really only when the baby was born did we get visitors, like health visitor. Maybe you can ask like you said for them to not do house visits. How old is your little girl? If she is less than a year old i suspect she won't really know what is going on when the baby arrives. My dd was 11 months old when our ds was born. And they are as close as twins. They do fight and argue mind, but they love eachother. The first year was a bit rough with us, only because ds wouldnt sleep unless sitting up in pram while being pushed with a bottle in his mouth. Webtried everything but thats gow he liked to sleep. Eventually got him out of it and in his cot, but he is a light sleeper even to this day and he is 5 next month. I wont lie and say its easy, its never really easy with a new born, but its not impossible eaither.
