Hi,
I have a 2.5 yr old son who I and my husband absolutely adore. He is the centre of everything that we do and although we spoil him, he is such a great kid and not affected at all. I'm now pregnant with my second child and find myself apprehensive about how we will react. I desperately want this baby (and maybe a couple more after it) but I also don't know how I will be able to shower it with as much love and attention as my son got. It doesn't seem fair. I also want to make sure that my son doesn't feel left out or rejected when the new baby arrives. Because of all these feelings, I'm actually feeling nervous about this baby which is such a shame as I should be jumping for joy. Both of my kids were conceived through IVF so I knew exactly what I was in for, I'm just surprised about how different I feel this time around. Does anyone else know how I feel and any other mums who have had other kids feeling the same way? Would like any advice you can give.
Thanks.
