Feeling super stressed about having to leave my first baby to deliver my second.

I know exactly how you're feeling. I went through everything you are feeling right now. I was super stressed my entire pregnancy once I realized I'd have to leave my 1.5 year old to have his baby sister and that he'd have to share me. Especially with our strong bond. I looked into birthing centers that would allow me to bring him but ultimately ended up delivering at a hospital for the pain meds. I had a short stay but it still was really hard being apart. You can video call your daughter as much as you want to/can and see if they can speed up the newborn tests so you can be discharged as long as everything with you and your baby look good. Try to include her with helping with her baby sibling if she wants to and don't force it. And show her you still love her by spending time with her and talking to her. That's what's worked with my little guy and he loves his baby sister so much now whereas he was really hesitant when she first came home. It took some time for him to adjust but they will love each other
I’m 29 weeks pregnant and feel exactly the same about having to leave my toddler!
Just bring her and husband so he can watch her but she can still b there
@Mella we’re not allowed at my hospital
That’s so stupid I wish they would for families who don’t have options for childcare ugh I hope u get this all figured out I would offer to watch baby if we were in the same city🥰
This was my biggest fear and issue but I had my parents keep him over night while I was in the hospital. It hurt but it was necessary
