I’m 5 short days I get to meet my second baby I’m excited and sad at the same time had any mommies get guilt towards their first born my first born is 2 and he is so attached to me everywhere I go he goes Rene has never been ever been a day without me and knowing I’m going to stay at the hospital for 2 days without him and I feel so bad I’ve cried for the several past days I feel like I’m betraying him I even asked my doctor if I can leave in 24 hours cause just the thought of not being with him is killing me
Picture is one of my maternity pictures and I’m in love
I felt the same way and wanted to have dd in the room with me but at 2yrs 3 mths it just wouldn't have worked out. I'm glad hubby said no and she stayed with her grandmother, because it gave us some time with the new baby alone. And big sister got to come to hospital within the hour to see her new baby. We were going to leave after the 24th hrs but changed out minds when baby arrived. It's nice knowing that we had that little bit of time alone with baby and picked dd#1 up on the way home.
Yeah if they let me keep my son their atleast just at night then I’ll be happy I do want to spend time with my new born I’ll probably change my mind but I just feel like I’m betraying him so I guess it is normal to feel that way
@nicoleflor3s1995 It's normal. Our hospital allowed littles there during the day but not at night. So we just allowed her to go to her grandmother for the two days. Sadly grandmother is no longer in the picture. But it worked for us at the time. It was good that we had some time to rest and prepare mentally for getting baby home and getting used to being a family of 4. Best wishes na sweet dreams! My girls have been out for a few hours now and it's my turn!!!
Yep, I was the same way! My toddler is very attached to me. When I delivered my 2nd, that was the first time I ever left my son overnight. It made me so sad that he wasn’t going to get all of our attention anymore, but honestly the feeling goes away. I make an effort to give plenty of one on one time with my toddler. My boys are 2.5 years apart and although he doesn’t pay too much attention to the baby, he will kiss his forehead when he passes by him 😊 I just saw your oldest is Nathan and that’s my oldest son’s name too! Haha and they’re just about the same age
Everyone tells me that it’s normal to feel that type of way and really my son was born in August 2016 what about your son my kids will be 2 years and 4 months apart
@nicoleflor3s1995, it’s definitely normal, but you will have plenty of love for both babies 😊 my boys are 2.5 years apart. My Nathan was born in May 2016
