As awful as the subject sounds it’s even worse to feel. I am currently 15 weeks pregnant with a 21 month old DS. I feel like I am in the depths of despair and cannot shift this feeling of dread/doom/anxiety.

this pregnancy was very much planned. I was absolutely delighted and was in so much fear of miscarrying. I have just in latter weeks had the sense of doom come over me. I am full of fear and feel I have made the wrong choice. I look at my beautiful little boy (whom I won’t lie I had very similar feelings to when pregnant with him) and think: he is more than enough, why would I want to change things, why would I want to disrupt his life etc. I feel I am grieving him and grieving our bond that will be different.

I felt a similar doom when pregnant with him (different reasons, mourning my relationship with my partner, mourning my life, my freedom etc) this passed almost immediately as I fell in love with my little boy and I truly love him more than words can say and can’t believe I was so scared.

will this be similar? Can someone please reassure me… I just feel I am ruining my boys life and our bond will be destroyed . I miss him just thinking of how things will change ☹️☹️

Oh bless you OP. I think what your describing are perfectly normal feelings. Obviously your body is going through a huge change and you're hormones are different etc.
I remember when I was pregnant with my second and I felt a similar way. I was also worried I wouldn't love my baby as much as DS because I just couldn't imagine it. Try not to worry or beat yourself up. Things will change but you'll just have 2 babies to love.
