Missing out on cuddle time with #1

Hello ladies! I am new here. I am probably somewhere around 5 weeks with #2. We are really excited about it and I cannot wait to give DS a little buddy.

However, this morning something happened that has been making me sad. DS had a nightmare or something and I was rocking him on my chest (he rarely let me do this so I know he was freaked out) and it suddenly hits me that as my belly grows I won't be able to hold him like this. That made me feel so bad. He is such a little guy still who I know needs me. I feel guilty that I won't be able to give him that special snuggle time as easily when he is still so little. I have been so focused on what we will be giving him (a sibiling, the best gift in the world) that I didn't think too much about what I am taking away from him..... :(

Did/do you feel like your pregnancy has taken away from your LO already before #2 even gets here?

    I was able to snuggle with DS1 right up until the day I delivered DS2. It was never an issue. I could carry him, cuddle with him...none of that changed. (Thankfully! I would have been so sad if I couldnt cuddle with my little guy!)

    Congrats on your BFP!!

    I'm not that big in this pregnancy yet but am having no problems with snuggle time. Just think-at this time next year you'll have 2 people to cuddle with. Luckily you have 2 arms for snuggle time. :)

    I agree with a PP -- I was able to rock my daughter, carry her and snuggle right up until the day I delivered.

    Our snuggle time has gotten shorter, we used to take both of her naps together every day....but I had to transition her to her crib because I knew I couldn't lay on the couch for 3 hours every day with a newborn to care for.  She loves her crib now and we do rocking and snuggling still before naps and bed.  She just kind of curls around the belly :)  It is harder and not as comfortable but her sister just scoots to one side in the belly and were all snuggled up together!  Dont get too worried yet there will be some changes but you will find ways to work around it!

    DD1 kinda sits on top of my belly when I hold her.  Or she sits next to me and curls around my tummy.  It is still precious, quality snuggle time.  Try not to worry, you will make it work!!
