Pregnant with 2 anyone else feel this way?

Watergirl21

Just like introduce my self I am 36 and had my first baby at 34.
A few months ago I was so excited to get pregnant with no. 2. Dd is 2 yrs 3 months and I completely enjoy spending time with her. I have always wanted lots of kids.
Last week I found out I was pregnant again and suddenly I have mixed emotions. I worry that 2 will be overwhelming and I won't enjoy them so much, I dread the m/s, the pregnancy changes etc. I hope this is is just the hormones and fatigue talking. I am really having a hard time wrapping my head around this. Anyone else feel this way?

Ok, I'm not trying to be rude or anything, but your post is unclear.  You have a 2yo that is clear.  You said you found out a couple of months ago that you were expecting #2 and were happy.  Then you found out a couple of weeks ago you are pg?  Did you suffer a loss of your second pg, or is the statement about a BFP 2 months ago and last week, referring to the same pg?  I am confused.

In terms of having mixed emotions, it's call being pg! LOL!  I have a little man that is quickly approaching 3 and am expecting number 2 just after #1s 3rd bday.  Most days I am overjoyed to be expanding and in our case completing our family.  Some days (like yesterday) I break down trying to come to terms with how I am going to manage 2.  DH is not the best with los and emotionally leaves a lot to be desired in terms of support.  It gets overwhelming and yesterday, I just broke down crying.  Today is a new day and I know we will figure it out somehow and most of all I know just how much I already love this little peanut and how much he will be loved when he makes his appearance about 3 months from now.

Oh sorry about my original post I tried to edit it after the fact.

I have a daughter who turned 2 in June. A few months ago my husband and i agreeded we were ready for number 2 and I was excited then to start trying and was looking forward to it. But now that I am actually pregnant And sick I feel a little bit like "what did I get myself into". I love my daughter and fully enjoy her so I am happy in that way to have anotherbut I didn't love the being pregnant

. And I feel guilty that I am not super excited I really wanted to enjoy this pregnancy. Maybe the m/s will be sort lived this time.

Ok, now I get it.  I think what you are feeling is completely normal.  Don't stress about it.  Just get through each day (the m/s is a killer) and soon enough you'll find the excitement again.

I think what you are feeling is totally normal. My DS was 2 when I got pg with my DD, and even though I wanted another baby, that m/s really made me miserable and I had moments of being sorry I had gotten pregnant again. Once the rough first trimester was over, I had my u/s and found out the gender, and started feeling the baby kick, I got excited about it. I think your mood and mind set will really improve once you get over the hump! I know it's hard right now, but it will get better! Hang in there!

This is my 3rd pregnancy, and a total surprise. My kids are 6 and 9, and when I first found out I was pregnant, I was really upset because I just can't imagine going back to the baby years when I've reached the school years. However, time has worked its magic on me, and I slowly worked my way from devastation to denile to acceptance to almost excitement (not quite there, but getting there). So, I understand how it is to feel depressed during pregnancy, but if I can change my tune, surely you will too!

Yup. I totally freaked out when I found out I was pg. LOL. I was so concerned about how it was going to effect DD and how much I was going to miss of HER. Then the more I thought about it, the more I realized that I'm giving her a companion for life. I hope they like each other! Of course, there's worry about finances and all the stuff that goes along with that aspect.

I think everyone feels that way. DS2 was entirely planned but I still fretted about how having him would effect DS1. Even after my water broke and I was leaving for the hospital I cried as I said goodbye to my (sleeping) DS1.

I was the same way. Still am sometimes. "how are we going to handle two?" Childcare/finances are really my only concern now as DD is really excited about her baby brother coming and is ready to be a big help to him and Mommy. Plus we thought of some great ways of giving her special Mommy or Daddy time. (Or would that be giving us special Daughter time? )
