I'm so scared I'm going to go through PPD, I been so sad lately and it's mainly about my 18 month old. I feel like I'm…

Yes

You're welcome! 😘

@beebaby, my husband help keep me grounded so that's a plus

@skyy12221, thank you again and I will

They aren't. The baby as well as your older child can feel your stress and unhappiness. Gotta take care of momma

@kyenkenmom exactly lol just hang in there

@skyy12221, that's how I look at it as well, I have to get on birth control because I'm still young and have so much more that I want to accomplish for myself and my family

That's good, you're not a failure because you are trying! And there's no problem with waiting. I'm currently thinking about BC after this baby so baby 3 will be at least 2 before we have our 4th. I don't want to get on it but I have to, to make my life situation better and it'll be harder always being prego lol

@skyy12221, I definitely understand I just pray and try to do the best I can ... I promised myself with the help of Mirena I won't be having another one until they are like 5 and 6

@kyenkenmom it's no problem! And yes I've been through the roughest part which is when I brought Justice home for 3 weeks! Just remember thats just my story that doesn't mean yours will be this way for 3 weeks. Silas still gets jealous of Justice sometimes cause he doesn't like me holding him, rocking him, or even if he's touching me he'll get upset but its not nearly as bad as the beginning. Now when baby 3 comes I'll go through it all over again and probably worse, a jealous 3 year old and jealous 1 year old but I'm staying positive so hopefully its not as bad as I think. I thought having 2 would be hell but its not lol

@beebaby, I know it's going to take time for him to adjust and of course my hormones aren't helping the situation at all

No. He was used to being the only child and getting all of mom and dad's attention and now he has to share. It is new to him. He knows who his mother is but who doesn't love yes man grandma's. Everyone loves grandma.

@skyy12221, it's nice to hear this from you since you have kids close in age as well because I was worried that this will never pass

@kyenkenmom you're welcome and when newborn is sleeping try to bond with 18 month old and do everything you usually do for him and if he refuses don't be upset, it's just jealousy it will pass.

@beebaby, that makes me feel so much better because I was worried that I was doing something wrong

For sure. Also know that it is normal with children close in age.

@ecahanes, thank you...I'm just ready for him to get over his phase

@beebaby, thank you.... I'm going to ask my pediatrician about some things that he think will help with the adjustment, I just want him to understand that I love them both ...I know he is still young tho

@skyy12221, thank you...I just keep telling myself that this it just a phase and it will pass over because I try to give them both all my love and attention

I just want you to know that my sister warned me that Patrick won't want me as much because of the baby so please know it's normal and he will adjust and then things will get better. Enjoy this time with your second and take the time to bond 💜💜 good luck

Your not failing. Your are going through a tough time and doing the best you can. Don't be afraid you ask for help. He is just a little jealous but he will get over that.

Baby blues, your hormones are going crazy still trying to regulate give it 2-3 weeks to pass if it continues talk to your doctor about PPD. Breathe mama you all are still adjusting, it'll take time.
