Scared and anxiety taking over

So I’m a mama of 1 already and my son will be 2 when the baby is born. I feel so upset and scared because I don’t want to make him feel jealous or anything and I’m just having so many mixed emotions. I want a second baby so bad but I also want to be there for my son 24/7 but I know once this one comes along it won’t be just all about him any more and I’m scared of him maybe feeling resentment of the new baby or something. Anyone with a #2 on the way feeling this or am I just over worrying. Also anyone who has had 2 kids how did you manage the switch from 1 to 2?

im in the same boat my son will be a year and 9 months once baby #2 is born and I feel so sad for my son 😩🥺 I don't want him to feel left out but i know someone with 2 under 2 , their babies at 1 yr and 4 months apart and they get along sooo good 🥺 so that gives me hope!!

@Azariah Ayana yeah it’s a scary thought. Man I hope to experience the same then. I’m glad I’m not the only one. I literally started sobbing while rocking my son to sleep the other cuz I knew I will probably get very few times to do it after the baby is born. It’s gonna be a big transition for everyone here. I wish you the best too❤️

I totally understand too momma! my baby is going to be a year and nine months. I'm scared that he won't love him or he won't feel as loved but we'll all figure this out together!! 😭😭😍 WE GOT THIS!!

My sons will be much older than this baby (13 & 15) but they’re actually 2 years and one week apart. My oldest son actually ADORED his baby brother and was obsessed from the belly to birth. They actually just started fighting the last couple years now that #1 is in HS and #2 is “annoying and immature” 🤦🏾‍♀️🤣 I chalk it up to stages. But they were thick as thieves until then, so much that some days it felt like them vs. me lol. All that to say including him will ensure he doesn’t feel left out. I also always prioritized one on one time with each as their interests differed. You got this! It’s a totally normal feeling but your heart grows big enough for them all.
