Whats happening is this normal?

Hello everyone! So my hubby and i found out we r expecting baby number 2 about two months ago. We have a 18month old son already and i just feel time went by so fast and i didnt enjoy him as much as i wanted. Now this time around pregnancy feels different like im not even pregnant or like time is just passing and im not enjoying my pregnancy dont get me wrong i felt so happy when i found out because my lo will have a little brother or sister.. idk if maybe im distracted or im getting depressed i want to feel the joy i felt with my first baby but sometimes i feel anxious because how judgemental my hubbys family is that is a reason why we havent told anyone yet. Has anyone felt the same way?

Me too!!! Due any day now and home with a soon to be 18 month old. This pregnancy flew by and I'm worried that I won't have as much time for her when he gets here. That's my excuse for all the extra snuggles anyways lol!

Hi girls thanks for replying :) so according to my last period im supposed to be 20 weeks on monday and we havent told anyone yet because like i said my in-laws r very judgemental they always talk about ppls choices and always question our parenting and that sometimes puts me down like i love my child and as his mom i do what is best for my son and care for him and i feel that is what makes me double guess myself on if im capable of caring for two babies all i know is ill give it my all and try my best to care for my babies like i agree with farah god send my little bundles of joy for a reason and he knows im a strong person to handle what he sends my way

I have a 20 month old and am 33 weeks. I was really excited at first. Now I'm scared. I hope I will be able to share my attention equally amongst both children. I hope my daughter accepts baby and isn't mean. She has a habit of hitting. You are married and an adult, don't worry about people judging. I don't think they will reject another baby to love on. I know people that can't believe we are having one so close. I simply reply that I want them to be able to grow up and play together. Your child will be over two how long were you supposed to wait?  Your fears are normal. I'm sure we all go through them at some time. Your son will keep you busy and this pregnancy will fly by. I felt this one move around 14weeks that's when it became real and it felt real. Congratulations!

I have 20 months old twins who came after a long struggle and found out i was pregnant naturally last month. Im 12 weeks now and rushing through this pregnancy. at first i wasn't happy i was worried and shocked and overwhelmed. I thought my boys are too young for even more devided attention. i wasn't ready for it..still am..but now im accepting. Looking at it jumping in my 12 week scan brought me relief and a smile to my face. I think God won't put me through something i cannot endure.

Good luck
