Second time mum

how are we feeling? i just keep forgetting im pregnant, with my first i was obsessed with looking at clothes/things for baby/ information ect but because i did it all last year i feel like i dont need to do all that but then i feel guilty because that for me was a big part of bonding. even things like weekly pictures i havent been doing because my bodie is differnet this time around so i feel i dont have a "dump" i just look big aha i have a sad feeling im treating them differently which id never do once they are both here but compared to pregnancies im so different this time its constantly a second though. i have bad mum guilt already😂🤦🏼‍♀️ is everyone feeling this or is this just a me thing? what are you doing to feel more bonded? perhaps once i feel movement it will be different!

I’m the same! My daughter is 6, I think im that busy with life now it’s so different compared to the first time round I just don’t have time to sit and think oh wait im having a other baby!

I am the exact same! My lg is about to turn 1 and I’ve been so preoccupied with her I forget I’m pregnant 🤣

I’m the same! My baby is 9.5 and she will be 15months when baby 2 will born so you can imagine how busy I am during the day 🤪 but when she fall asleep at night I’m cuddling my bump and my baby ❤️

I am the same, I have an 18 month old girl most days I forget im even pregnant. I remember looking at the pregnancy app every day to see how the baby is growing, now i forget how many weeks I am. And the baby shopping used to be so exciting 😂 Also with my daughter, i started thinking about names as soon as i found out I am pregnant, now im like whatever 😅 I’ll find something I hope. I feel so bad about all of that but now I just don’t have time to think about it all, doesn’t mean I’ll treat them differently. I guess first baby is always more exciting in a way

It’s going by so quickly and we also have nothing to buy as we’ve found out it’s the same gender as our first so not even any more clothes to buy. Tbh I’m putting off buying anything too and this whole pregnancy I’m just being a lot more go with the flow. I always knew it would be different and I wouldn’t have as much time to do all the things I did with my first pregnancy but I don’t feel guilty. At the end of the day, what matters is once the baby is here. It’s then that you really start building the bond as it takes time to get to know them! My love for my first child has only grown over time and I know that’ll be the case with the second too xx

Totally the same. My daughter is three next month and I keep forgetting I’m pregnant half the time. Did weekly Polaroids with her and we’ve yet to do one for this baby… bought nothing yet, just too much going on! Feel like the time is going soooo much quicker this time too
