So a few weeks ago I found out I am pregnant I am 11 weeks now I have a 8 year old little girl n she feels that I will give the baby more attention then her bc I don't have her all the time bc I have 50/50 with her dad n I will have the baby all the time bc me n the baby's dad are together so she thinks I will love the baby more n that's not the case I will love them the same bc they are both my children so I was wondering if any of you lady's went thru this n how to handle it bc I am at a loss

My 11 year old feels that way about my new husband.  I try my best to give them both equal attention and it's hard. She is excited to have a baby sister almost here though.  All I can say is always include your daughter in all the plans for the new baby and try to do some special things she likes to do with her. You don't need to spend money or take her somewhere all the time, she just wants to know and see you love her and want to spend time with her too. Good luck to all of you.
