Was anyone else freaked out the second time around? I'm totally scared about labor and adjusting to…

I’m pregnant with our 6th and last and let me tell you I was the same with all of them! I freaked during and after delivery like omg how am I gonna do it but it does get easier 🖤

I feel you there! I had a horrible postpartum hemorrhage with 2 deliveries requiring blood transfusions and surgery but luckily with my last they just kept massaging my uterus every 30 mins for 24 hours to make sure I didn’t hemorrhage with her and it worked thankfully! As far as the time I just snuggled with them when I wasn’t holding baby and let them help as much as they could with their age even just having them hand me things like a diaper or wipes etc, also included them with bonding, let them hold baby with help and or supervision again age dependent, and just included them with everything, my fiancé would take them to do things to like playing at the park or getting lunch or something just for them. You got this!

Even now that she’s 8 months all the other kids love her and still love to help, they go grab diapers wipes her bottle and toys etc and they love to play with her and hold her, if she fusses my 2 and 5 yr old both try to help calm her and then tell me she’s fussing even if I’m right there lol they absolutely love he e

Here’s a pic of my 2yo and 8 mo 🖤

You’re not alone! I was the same way! Going from no kids to 1 kid was way harder for me than going from 1-2 kids though. And giving birth to my first baby was much harder too.
