Second baby feels..
Is anyone else finding it hard to adapt to the idea of adding another baby? Of course I’m excited to have another and give my daughter a sibling but I mean the dread of going through the postpartum period again and the first year is rough.
Also just having to be with my toddler and a newborn all day alone sounds awful to me right now 😭 I already feel lonely and our routine has gone out the window since falling pregnancy because I’m just too tired and have no energy.
I’m struggling with it all, my mental health has really taken a beating this pregnancy which I really didn’t expect.
Is anyone else just really going through it atm?😭

I feel like this too! Feel free to message me ❤️
I feel this too. I think it's hard to imagine being able to cope with 2 when you are in the middle of first trimester exhaustion, but we've got to remind ourselves that this is the hardest bit of pregnancy and we will feel more energetic and capable and like ourselves by the time the baby comes!
I feel this too. After my first was born I had postpartum depression and anxiety. It took me 4 months to realise what just happened. I do have autism too. I am very anxious about what will happen this time. But of course still excited!

Me, I feel like this too and didn’t expect it at all. On one hand I’m so excited to grow our family and my daughter to have a sibling but also have no idea how I’m going to cope as I currently have zero energy, feel nauseous all the time and honestly struggle to get through the day at the moment. Just trying to remind myself that this phase will pass and I’m sure energy levels will return and we will all thrive and hopefully not just survive. I didn’t feel like this at all with my first, pregnancy was completely opposite. Wish I didn’t feel so down and negative about it. Feel free to private message me if you want to chat and hope you are doing ok today x
