I'm 37 weeks and this will be my 2nd child, my first is just under 2. I have been fine all throughout pregnancy but now towards the end I'm starting to feel sad but also scared. I don't really know what's to come and I'm terrified. Please can anyone give me some reassurance? š

Due a 2nd here! Overall, relaxed because I know what to expect and my daughter canāt wait for a sibling (sheās 4) but also scared for the zero sleep after birth, newborn stage was rough too and also very scared for birth! I had an overall smooth birth but I know I was lucky and might not be so this time. What about you?

Omg I have been thinking about this all day! Iām sooo sad. Idk if thatās normal.. doesnāt feel right lol. But itās nice to know Iām not the only one.. and you are not alone š¤·š¼āāļø

Hello⦠this is very normal⦠Iām due my 3rd and starting to get the āhave we done the right thingā even though this was another planned baby! I cried my eyes out for the last few weeks of my second pregnancy for the same reason⦠they were 2 under 2 and I kept thinking āwhat have we doneā and āitās not fair on my first bornā and āwill I copeā and āhow will this workā⦠but honestly once you have them this all just disappears my first and second are incredibly close and infact get very upset when theyāre apart⦠I wouldnāt change it for the world and the close age gap they will all have⦠I think the 3rd trimester is hard with intense hormones that come back with additional worries like birth etc and just start to spiral! But I promise youāll be okay and it will all dampen down.. this feeling likely wonāt go until birth but it will go⦠youāve got this, there will always be bad days as itās hard⦠but you answered your own question really you feel like this because you donāt really know
