Regretting 2nd pregnancy
Hi Guys. Currently 10 weeks pregnant with my second baby and even though we were trying and I was initially excited I am now regretting it. I’m worried life will be so much harder and we’re just getting to enjoy life again properly with our daughter. The thought of going back to the newborn trenches scares the life out of me and I don’t know if I can mentally handle it. I don’t feel a connection with this baby and I’m considering abortion…. Is this normal? I just don’t want our lovely life to change, I know that sounds selfish but I just have a gut feeling I’m making a mistake…. Help!

I have two kids and I am enjoying life as a single mom too. U make it happen if u truly want to enjoy motherhood. Tbh u will enjoy it, u have ur daughter a playmate
Aw, life can be lovely with 2 also. My second baby was entirely different baby than my first. So your second newborn phase could look very different than your first. Plus 2 is a very different dynamic so it will automatically look different on top of personality difference.
I feel you and your feelings are valid ❤️ you still have time. Aid access.org. Take care mama.
I didn't feel a connection with my second either until they were born and now I can't get enough of him! And he's actually giving me baby fever! It kinda scared me at first cause I didn't connect with him even in the first few days after birth. But now I can't get enough of him! I love him so much! I urge you to not choose an abortion. Your baby already has a heart beat, and knows your voice, your baby already has the skin color and eye color God picked out for them.
I would love to help you! Even if that's adopting your baby myself! You and your baby deserve life! And either way someone's life ends in abortion
It was definitely my normal. First trimester really messes with our heads I believe. I remember crying in the bath feeling completely desperate and even wishing for the worst possible outcome. Thank goodness we don't have that power. It will get better. You'll feel the excitement again.
