Newborn/ baby stage anxiety

I feel like everything I done with my now 2.5 year old as a newborn/ baby I have totally forgot, it actually feels as if I have never done this before.
I am only 9 weeks away from my due date and I am starting to freak out about that moment when you leave the hospital wondering “what the hell do I do now”. I feel so unprepared even though I have everything I need, I also feel a little overwhelmed about routine and feel like I am unsure on the best way to go about things. Anyone else feel the same or experienced the same?

Try not to worry, you'll fall back Into it very easily.

It's not the same.... but..... my sister has recently had a baby..... I havnt held or spent time with a baby since I had my own a decade ago. I was so worried about holding the baby, as soon as she was placed in my arms it just felt natural straight away.

You’ll be absolutely fine! As PP said, it does all come back! And even if it doesn’t for you - you’ve done it before so you can learn to do it again. Congratulations!

You will remember OP, don’t worry, second babies are very different as the focus is usually on the toddler, and baby just fits in. That’s how it was for me anyway, I had two in 21mths, not sure I would recommend them as close as that it though! Many congratulations.
