Having a few wobbles - am 39 wks pg with dc2 and this is going to sound bizarre but I feel like I've changed my mind - like I don't want this
Was having lovely cuddle with dd today and was thinking - I don't want this to change. How could I do this to her? What if my huge list of labour childcare provision collapses?
I feel so unprepared - struggling to remember how to look after a newborn - even though it was only 2 yrs ago. dds new room isn't ready - still filled with junk.
Also want a vbac and am getting panicky thats all going to go wrong and I won't be able to deal with the pain... basically you name it I'm freaking out about it!
HELP MUMSNET I NEED YOU!!!

It will all be fine! I was so amazed after my second dd how smoothly it all went. The birth was far quicker and easier, me and dp were less shell shocked after the whole thing. And life pretty much carried on as normal with this extra beautiful addition to our family. DD2 is now 1 and becoming a real character adored by dd1 who asked the other day if she could have 6 more baby sisters!

You will be fine, its just your hormones

IU know those worries about things with the first child changing, how he (ds1 in my case) will react. They are normal, and happily I can tell you that my ds1 (2.9) adores his 5-month-old brother. If he won't do something for us, he will do it 'for ds2'.

(they = the worries)
