I’m being induced on Friday and I’ve just put my little girl to bed and am so upset that it won’t be just us anymore. Obviously we’re so excited for her new sister but I just feel guilty and sad that things won’t be the same again.
Does anyone else feel like this? 😞😞😞

This is exactly my feelings right now, I am currently lay on our bed cuddling my little boy, enjoying our last night as just him before being induced tomorrow. Have so many emotions of guilt, excitement and worry how he will be having to share me.

Me😔 at one point it was just me and my little girl before I met my current partner. I’m already feeling guilty that I won’t have as much time for her as I usually do

Ooh yes. The night before my second born came I cried my eyes out because I was so sad and guilty. I’m not going to lie, it did take a bit of time to find that balance, but someone said to me ‘when you have a second, your heart doesn’t divide, it multiplies’ and it’s so true.
It’s an emotional, hormonal, crazy transition period but you’ll soon settle and it will be wonderful ❤️

Yes!! This was me on Monday morning with my little girl before she went to nursery as that would have been the last time it was just us! Felt super upset and emotional 🥹

I think it’s natural to feel this way as the new baby is now so close! It’s going to be an adjustment for everyone, but your love for your children will expand 🥰 all feelings valid!

I’m so glad I’m not the only one feeling like this. I feel so many mixed feelings and it just makes me wanna bawl my eyes out

Feeling this 🥺🥺

Oh yes, every time I think about it, I start crying. I'm more worried about this than anything else, the thought of leaving him to go and have the baby is just horrendous.

1000%

This has literally been me over the past couple of days, I could possibly be getting induced within the next week so it’s becoming very real now and my emotions of going from just having my son being my little side kick to having 2 boys has me in floods of tears as my son is the only person who has my heart outside my body until my 2nd comes, even tho I’m so excited and looking forward to this next chapter in my family’s life and my love growing even more it’s just making me feel guilty feeling this way 🥹🥲

100% it’s me in 2 weeks and I already feel sad about it. All I could think of is what is the shortest time I can spend in hospital so I can be back with my first born. Have never spent a night away from him. I am sure I’ll be a mess when the time comes
I’m FTM at 38 weeks today + nearly 40 years old. My blood pressure has been fine throughout the pregnancy mostly 110/70. I went for my routine midwife appointment and it was 145/90 for the first time during pregnancy. I was sent to the hospital for further monitoring and blood/urine tests as they suspected preeclampsia, the results came back fine so now they think it’s only gestational hypertension that needs monitoring. If it was preeclampsia they did mention they could have induced me today. Now I’ve just been asked to come back for further bp monitoring on Monday. What should I expect? I have been monitoring it at home and it’s still high so in panic mode..

Hi Mamas, I’d love to hear your postpartum stories. 🩵
What’s something that really stuck with you emotionally during those first weeks or months?
The good, the bad, the unexpected… what do you still remember?
I struggled with prenatal + postpartum anxiety myself, and I know how much those early experiences can stay with you.
