Anyone else have/having another baby after July baby?

Is anyone having another baby soon and/or have already had another baby since having July baby? I’m having a c-section Wednesday and yall… obviously I’m terrified and feeling all the feels for the hospital stay and the c-section and leaving my girl - but I’m having the most overwhelming sadness that my girl is not gonna be my little baby anymore she’s gonna be the big sister and I’m NOT okay about it. Anyone else feel that way??? HOW DO I STOP CRYING 😂 Just wanted to have some people that are going through or have felt that before 😂

I'm 6 weeks pregnant, so not quite there yet. But man, is the mom guilt really layering on real thick lately 😭 I feel like I'm failing my son by making him be a big brother, he won't be my lil baby anymore. I'm being told by my SIL I need to let go once I have the new baby & let other people take over? Idk doesn't sit right with me & definitely exasperated my guilt 💔

We had a little girl last July 2025 and I’m currently 36w!
I had our July babe at 38+6 so I wouldn’t be surprised if this girl came a little early too.
I get emotional about having to split time and attention between the two. I’m a SAHM and it’s been “her and I” for so long I don’t want her to feel hurt that time will be shared🥺 but I think involving them as much as possible and making time for one on one time could go a long way.
Definitely a whirlwind of emotions but I’m also so excited to see them grow up close🙏🏼
I think about how much I love seeing our July babe interact with other kiddos and just can’t even fathom the way it’ll feel so watch her and her sister grow up together and enjoy life together💕

I had a little one at the end of last July and I had my surprise baby at the beginning of September. Very close in age but my older little one is already so so obsessed with the newborn - we did get her a babydoll to familiarize her with a very small baby and to help teach her to be gentle and it did wonders. I was an emotional wreck during my pregnancy and especially right before I left for the hospital due to me missing the time I would have with my older daughter one on one but I still have that time when my youngest sleeps and when my husband comes home etc. Watching my older daughter love being a big sister has made it all worth it.

My kids are 26 months apart, so a little more time between, but they're already growing to be BEST friends! It's going to be so hard, but it's so worth it!!!

Glucose test

How did everyone prepare for their glucose test? I’ve got mine on Thursday and I’ve heard about how horrific it can be so I’m honestly really nervous and dreading it 😣

Feeling Behind

Hello! First time poster here.
My baby girl turns 1 this Sunday and she's still not crawling. She runs around in her walker and scooches around during tummy time, but watching all the social media videos I feel like I haven't done enough for her.
Her baby sister due in February. She was originally due in January until the ultrasound showed she was too little for January. Same thing happened with my other babies, but this time I'm not showing as much as my previous pregnancies. I'm only 5 foot and feel her doing summersaults everyday, but it still makes me nervous at 22 weeks.
I keep reminding myself that every child and every pregnancy is different, but I'm so scared that I'm failing my little girls.
Any other mamas find themselves feeling this way?
