My husband and I were discussing trying for baby #2 this summer. Now, my hopes is that since I’m now familiar with how life is with a baby (birth, recovery, lack of sleep, anxiety and fear of doing things wrong, breastfeeding pain, mild baby blues, etc.), that perhaps things wont be as shocking or as hard or scary and I might just actually enjoy my 2nd newborn! Am I being too hopeful ? I’m sure the fatigue or hormonal effects will still be there but I’m thinking I won’t be as anxious etc. No clue. What’s it like with a second?

Baby number one was extremely difficult for us. It was a huge adjustment. Baby number two has been much easier for us because we already knew what to expect. I didn’t enjoy baby number one because I was too overwhelmed but I’ve really enjoyed baby number two. 😊
Aww this is so good to know. A few of my friends have said the same. I feel so guilty with the thought of enjoying newborn #2 but almost regretting #1 during that moment. He’s my whole world now though.
@carusod91, I hear ya! Don’t feel bad. It seems to be very common. How you felt in the past is entirely out of your control. 😊
Hello ! My name is Teraysa and I recently just found out I’m pregnant 😊 but I’m only 18 and I’m super scared :( my biggest thing is I’m worried about a miscarriage !! #myfirstpost
My friend keeps trying to give me her hand me downs which is nice! And I love her for that, but this is my first baby I just want to buy things for my baby and experience baby shopping etc...maybe I’m just weird lol
Obgyn appt today nervous
So i have a fetal doppler and with my previous pregnancies i could find babies heartbeat at 8,9 weeks. This time I’m checking it everyday hoping ok it grew bigger now I will find it but I’m 10w5d and i still didn’t hear it... I know exactly where to look for it. I’m freaking out now. It’s my appt today and i hope she will find it.
So idk if I’m an asshole for thinking this but a girl I used to go to school with is having her 3rd kid and she’s planning a baby shower and she had one with her other two. I feel like a baby shower is something you do with ur first pregnancy. I live far from my family so I didn’t have one but i did have a baby registry and I’m not even doing that with this pregnancy. Idk I just feel like 3 baby showers is a lot! Especially when she gets things handed to her. Idk maybe I’m an ass for thinking that
What would you do? - baby shower
SO my mom has been very negative about the baby my entire pregnancy. Especially in the beginning, she said the most HORRIBLE things about me, my DH and my unborn baby. Like that I was making a big mistake, that I was making her 2015 the worst year ever... etc etc. Even when she would do nice things she made me feel like I was a HUGE inconvenience and a burden to her. She told me to definitely NOT expect a shower or anything like that from her. Fine, whatever...
My thoughts exactly!! I was so anxious about giving birth with the first one, I didn't even know I was having contractions when I had them... I feel like I'll be able to enjoy my next pregnancy, birth, and newborn phase much more. 🤞
