Being induced soon , feeling emotional

[Gemmamarie92]

I’m being induced on Tuesday & just feeling so emotional at the min, I am really happy I’m being induced as this pregnancy hasn’t been great but I already have a little boy who’s 6 and I’m just worried how I’ll feel the same love for the next one, and will my son feel left out because it’s just been us for 6 years now it’s all going to change. He’s so excited to be having a little brother. It’s probably just me being hormonal and emotional!!
I’m not worried about the induction really, I had it with my first because I was poorly and being induced this time because his growth has dropped, I’ll be 37 weeks.

Did anyone else feel worried because they already have one child and love them so much or am I just being silly 🙈

I'm pregnant with my first but I know 2 people that had the exact same worry, one female and one male. They said they couldn't understand how they could possibly love another child like they do their first but once the child arrived, they just did. Its natural to be emotional about all the upcoming changes and the dynamic will change with a new one but it doesn't mean that will be a bad thing. Wishing you all the best for Tuesday!

@Gemmamarie92 - I'm expecting my second (although a bit behind you at 23 weeks). I've had the same thought. I have a 2.5yo son and he's amazing! I love him to death and I've had the exact same thoughts. How is there possibly enough room for more love? Will my son feel pushed out? I even cried the other day because I was sad about potentially having to stay away from my son in hospital when I have the baby! All totally normal thoughts and feelings. I have two siblings who each have 2 children and everyone assures me you do love them just as much and that it all slots in to place xx

Ahh thanks both that’s good to know !!
These bloody pregnancy hormones 🙈
Just can’t wait for tomorrow now!

Don't worry! I have 5 years between my 2 (and just pregnant with #3). I had the same worries. Becoming a big sister has been great for DD1, she adores her little sister and the feeling is mutual. I've found yet more love I didn't know I had. Seeing them cuddled up with DD1 reading DD2 a story melts my heart.
