Second Thoughts

[Phoenixwings1989]

Hi,

I am 7 weeks pregnant and I was happy when I found out at four weeks although I have had the odd doubt poking in from time to time whether or not it is viable to be going through a second pregnancy while having a boisterous two year old who barely listens. Today is the worst my doubts are and I just feel overwhelmed by how I'll cope with another baby especially as postpartum nearly destroyed me mentally. I'm just so scared that I'll not cope.

Reach out to counciling before making any decision. I did and im now 32 weeks pregnant, i am still nervous for how my first will be towards baby and how i will cope but im excited for our family to grow and for my first to have a sibling close in age like me and my partner did and how nice it was growing up allways having your sibling there to play with and all the memories, were both still close with our siblings close in age now.

For the worries of postpartum deppression make your midwife aware and talk openly to them, my midwife has been amazing and has re assured me that help will be there if i need it
