Anyone else due a 2nd? Or a 3rd???

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? šŸ˜…

Due a 2nd here! Overall, relaxed because I know what to expect and my daughter can’t wait for a sibling (she’s 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?

Hello… this is very normal… I’m due my 3rd and starting to get the ā€˜have we done the right thing’ 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 ā€˜what have we done’ and ā€˜it’s not fair on my first born’ and ā€˜will I cope’ and ā€˜how will this work’… but honestly once you have them this all just disappears my first and second are incredibly close and infact get very upset when they’re apart… I wouldn’t 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 you’ll be okay and it will all dampen down.. this feeling likely won’t go until birth but it will go… you’ve got this, there will always be bad days as it’s hard… but you answered your own question really you feel like this because you don’t really know
