Blended families

So my SO has no children and I have a 5yo girl. How was it like for those of you that have a child/children from a previous relationship? How were you able to navigate your new relationships and trying to have more children, especially with someone that doesn’t have any at all? I’m in this feeling of not wanting my daughter to feel left out. Especially seeing that I’m having a girl, I don’t want her to feel like she’s now on the back burner to my SO’s first biological girl. If that makes sense?

I was having the same worries as my son is 8 and my SO & I are expecting our first child together (his first). He’s been in my son’s like since he was 3. We have discussed my worries and he has been able to reassure me that we are in this together and both children will be loved exactly the same. My therapist also mention for me to make sure I let my son be apart and a big help in everything.
