pregnant again..
I just got my first positive after using contraceptive and emergency contraceptive. Safe to say , it doesn’t work sometimes. I am not sure how to feel about this because I wanted to wait a little longer , but if anybody has advice for two under two , it would be greatly appreciated. I feel so horrible for feeling so disappointed with myself. Someone please tell me that goes away 🙁

@Ana Thank you!🥹Ive definitely been worried about PPD/PPA , I just want to enjoy both my babies without having to feel like ones getting attention more than the other 🥺.
You will! It’s a learning curve but somehow you’ll always know which one needs you more and you respond accordingly. It’s absolutely magic to watch your first baby love your second! And if you’re worried about PPA/PPD I definitely recommend counseling and, if it’s right for you, don’t be afraid of medication. I was medicated through both my pregnancies and I have happy healthy babies.

Hey mama. I’ve been there. I was done having children and then, surprise! Pregnant. I was so upset seeing the positive test. I think I was in shock for the first month. I had horrible PPD with my first and really worried that this second baby would kill me. It took a while, some therapy and a change in meds, but I finally felt excited for the pregnancy. It never felt like my first but that’s okay. What I’ve learned is that pregnancy is a period of growth (literally and figuratively 😂) and growth is often painful. We put way too much pressure on moms to enjoy every moment of pregnancy and think they’re ungrateful if they feel anything but excited. That’s a very toxic view of pregnancy and frankly motherhood in general. All that to say—you will feel better. Maybe not the same as the first pregnancy, BUT THATS OKAY. Your baby will come into this world and whether you fall instantly in love or have a slow burn kind of love, YOU WILL LOVE YOUR BABY. Be so gracious and gentle with yourself.🩷
