Expecting #2 & nervous!!! (help)

Kind of a vent but im wondering if any other mommies have had this feeling??

So, i have a 16 month old son named Camden & My Husband & I found out we're expecting another little boy May 5th. I'm only 20 i turn 21, 2 months after Carson will be born. I'm Really nervous about having a 2nd child because Camden is my 'lil baby' & im afraid Camden will feel jealous because he is a total mommies boy. Whenever i even hold another lil kid he starts crying & reaches for me! I know they are probably normal feelings but im terrified about it. Have any other mommes felt this way when they were expecting their 2nd baby???

I feel the same way. My son is currently 33 months and I am due May 8th
I try not to obsess over it.. I worried and wondered about so many things before I had my first, yet it all came naturally. I'm thinking its best to just jump in head first lol

Just make sure to include him in the experience. I tell Peyton (she is a old at 3 yrs old) that this is her baby too. I want her to bond with the baby as much as possible so maybe she will be less jealous. I know a 16 month old understands less but say something like "Camden's baby too" so he knows this is his sibiling.

I have been lately but this is going to be our third little girl. Our first isnt much of an attention girl she is a laid back kind of girl right now. But our 2nd she is all about having the attention on her and I don't know how she is going to react with this new baby. She doesnt mind if I hold another baby, but she has to make sure that she gets her attention too. Im 25 years old. ;)

It was exactly how I felt! I did everything I could to make sure that my oldest felt that she was as much of a part of her little sister as I was! She was a jealous little thing until her sister came along. She was also almost 3 by the time I had Ariel. Hopefully he'll adjust to being a big brother and you won't have any problems! I know he's a boy, but maybe playing with a doll and "changing the baby" and "feeding the baby" would help! Just a thought!

I see you a lot and just curious! lol How are you here with a removed account?!

As excited as I was waiting for DD2's arrival, I felt terrible like I had betrayed DD1. I didn't feel as tho I could love this LO like I loved my eldest & actually cried a few times because of it. After LO was born it got better. I love both my girls with all of my heart. DD1 absolutely loves her baby sister

I feel the same way. My DS is 18 months now, and I am due in March. They will only be 21 months when this baby gets here. He is also a mama's boy, but he doesnt really care if I hold other babies unless he wants me lol. If I am holding another baby, and he is playing he doesnt care at all, but if he gets hurt, or is tired, then he gets jealous, and mad. I try to include him in everything, but he is so young he doesnt really understand. I guess we will just have to wait and see how it goes when she gets here lol.

Nice! You are special! hehe

Thank you guys, its nice to know other mommies have the same feeling. I was going to try to include him in the sonos & stuff but my son just has soooo much energy he cant sit through them & gets fussy. We talk to him about Carson & have him hug & kiss him & play with my tummy. Like you guys said its going to have to be a 'head first' thing!! & hopefully it works out.
