It's normal having a second child is a big change I had my second 2022 my older child is 15 so it was a big gap I never wanted more kids and iv felt the same at times like why have I done this again I struggled alot it's hard but yur be ok once you get use to it I promise it's ok to feel overwhelmed it's all worth it in the end my youngest is my little bestie I adore her 👌

@Toni thanks so much❤️.i feel so bad for feeling this way

Honestly, I'm overwhelmed too. I have 2 with a 2yr age gap and it's a lot. It's a big change for you and them. Also think about the fact you are still recovering too but you will get there. You will get into a rhythm and figure out a new normal. Just watch out for postnatal depression hun, it may not feel like it but it can just gradually build over time so make sure your talking to people and seeking help when you need it but also taking time for yourself too as with two I've found it's really hard to make time for yourself. Your doing great hun, you got this 💪

@Jackie thanks so much really needed to hear this ..I have 2 years age gap babies as well ❤️‍🩹

Its okay, if you ever want to message me to talk I'm here 😊

Girly, I’ve just had baby number 1. A baby I longed for, tried over a year for, had fertility treatment for. And I’ve also struggled so much during this newborn phase that I’ve wondered if I’ve made a huge mistake 😅😅 I’ve spoken to other new mums who have all felt the same at times. We love our babies but we’re human beings! And this is the hardest thing ever. It’s a huge adjustment and absolutely exhausting. You’re a great mum and working hard to meet the needs of both of your children; that’s all why you’re struggling. Give yourself some grace xx

Girlie you're not alone! I have moments where I feel like I'm in a dream that I'm waiting to wake up from, I had a c section and I'm recovering pretty bad from, and I had moment of regret, it's all normal it's just not often spoken about. Hang in there ♡♡♡

I feel the same. The doctor won’t give medication nor will the MH nurse ☹️ I’ve expressed I’m in a dark hole but they said wait 6 to 8 weeks and see how you feel wtf I need help now

Oh I finally feel like I'm not alone, I keep having moments of what have I done, my circumstances have changed through my pregnancy and I'm back with my parents which is a struggle but then 38 weeks nearly Just finding it alot xx
