I felt the same way about my second pregnancy. Little did I know I would lose my son at 27 weeks.... Just as I had finally warmed up to the idea of another sweet little baby. My heart was broken, the guilt was unimaginable.
Get some perspective - go read a loss board or an infertility board.
Count your blessings. Not sure what you want a bunch of strangers to do for you.
Hey OP! I'm sorry your post has been taken over by trolls who have nothing better to do than hit you when youre down. I can't say I relate to your feelings, but I'm sure they are perfectly normal. I'm expecting #2 and I'm totally overwhelmed with the thought even though I planned it. Especially in the first trimester (since that's the board were on) your hormones are all over the place! Take a deep breath and remember how awesome a new baby smells and that first time they smile at you and the first time they pee on someone other than you (ha-ha ). With 3 babies you'll have 1 to keep in your back pocket so to speak, inevitability 2 will always play together, so you'll have the other one to be with. Like someone said earlier too, they will always have each other. I'm sure one of the previous trolls is going to bash on me, but IDGAF! We are all human and are allowed to feel the way we feel with out criticism. "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all" Hugs to you OP! Ignore the haters.
Go look up troll in an urban dictionary or something. May look a little too familiar to you.
For me, when I see someone who needs help getting excited about their baby, I think that person needs a reality check. Think about how the child would feel, and yeah, there is some guilt in that, but I think it's more likely to work than glitter parades and rainbow farts.
I am also pregnant with my third and we didn't plan it. I had gotten rid of all our baby things and DH was going to get fixed in a couple months. I was sad because we had all these plans that will take a little longer. BUT I have also experienced a loss and have friends that struggles with infertility. I would NEVER tell them or anyone how sad I was about having another baby. It is a blessing and I will never take that for granted. The sadness went away in like a day. Having a baby is exciting! Try to think of all the awesome things that will happen with a new baby. Don't dwell on the negative. We were using the pull out method, so we were fully aware it could happen. I understand being "upset" about this but this forum is not the place to complain. Many women here struggle and it is a slap in the face to basically say you didn't want another one.
@Ampip2270 i don't think you actually know what "troll" means. telling OP that her post rubbed some of us (myself included) the wrong way & that she shouldn't be looking to internet strangers to motivate her to become excited for this pregnancy does not make anyone a troll. perhaps you should go check the definition before throwing that word around & WK'ing all over the place.
This comment is unnecessary and very rude. She is entitled to feel the way that she does. You do not know her situation. This is a place for pregnant women to come and get questions answered and find support, not be bashed for their posts. I understand you may feel some type of way, but it is just as easy to hit the back button and go to another post than to attack this lady because you didn't like her comment. Have some compassion.

The comment you are referring to, and the post as a whole, are from a month and a half ago... Please don't resurrect dead threads, especially when the purpose for doing so is simply to scold someone because you don't like their opinion
