helo mommies.....
i just tested positive yesterday afternoon. This will be my 2nd baby...my first is a boy.
i bought another test kit to try perhaps a few days later lah hehehee. have not seen my gynae yet, her practice is to see her only at 8weeks.
ladies, wish to check, besides jasminetea and jess lee here, who else are 2nd time mommies?
jasminetea, and jess, i will like to know how you girls feel about this pregnancy? how old is ur first one? mine is 17mths old, and though this 2nd pregnancy is kinda planned, I still feel this funny guilty feeling towards my son. i know that now i will not be able to carry him or play with him as much, as soon my body will start feeling tired, nauseous, and all i wanna do is sleep. i worry that i wun have energy to cook his meals on weekends, to play with him. he is very sticky to me, preferring me to his dad, always call for me when he wakes up from nap or sleep. and i treasure this bond so much. this bond is prob so strong partly coz i total breastfeed him for 15whole mths.
how do i overcome this guilty feeling? when 2nd baby is born, my son will just turn 2 yrs. is it too young? i know i dun want the age gap to be too long, coz i know too long i will be so tired i dun feel like re starting my engine. i also know i want close age gap. but now that i tested positive, reality sinks in and i realise with a shapr jolt all the things i will be missing with number 1 coz i will be preggie with number 2.
hope some 2nd time mommies can share with insight on this...sigh...i want to enjoy this 2nd pregnancy as much as i enjoy my first one. but this guilt is overshadowing it. pls help....
