18weeks... I feel depressed... I have two questions

I feel depressed because idk if I'm wrong to feel this way... but I don't feel connected to this baby I just don't feel like I could ever live anyone more then my daughter... idk if it's because I'm always saying she's always going to be my baby...

Also doesn't help the fact my daughter doesn't want another baby... I asked her what do u want a baby boy or girl she says I don't want baby but she says it so serious... she's the baby of the family right now she's obsessed with daddy and Nana and she can't seem to share either one...

Is it Normal for me to feel this way?
What am I supposed to do with my daughter's?

I do talk to her about the baby sometimes she's friendly sometimes she don't want to hear anything about it... but I think and pray she will be ok... she's also at a critical age... I know she will be good I have faith in my baby girl :)

You Juat need to talk to your daughter & have excitement for the new baby! Make her excited for the new baby! Tell her she's going to be the best big sister ever! & tell her all the things she can do with her new sissy like go to park, sing to her, hold her, protect her!when they are older go to Disney world together, sled together,ride bikes,go swimming! Fun stuff! & things will get better when she actually sees the baby & gets to help you take care of her! & talk to her make sure she nows that just becuz us having a baby doesn't mean u don't love her so very much & momma loves both her babies & they are both special little princesses!

Yeah I'm hoping for a boy I think it would be easier on her if it's a boy... she's very jealous... she has a cousin and they told me that last week she was hugging her Nana and that my daughter slapped her and told her to get off her nana... and when I lay on my bf her dad she quickly pushes me away and say that's her daddy

My 4yr old daughter was the same way at the beginning of my pregnancy. But as time went on she got over it. Now that she knows it'll be a boy. She's super excited. She talks to him and sings songs to him. I'll be due in march and every time i go to the dr she'll ask if it's time for her brother yet.
So just your daughter some time...everything will be ok. I think you might be having a boy. Since your symptoms are different from the first one. Just a Mexican Myth lol

My friend went through this when she was pregnant with her second. She has a very special bond with her first and although she wanted another baby felt a little resentful towards the baby. Because she wouldnt get as much one on one time with her first. (She is a stay at home mom) She struggled with it until her daughter was born and now watching them you would never know. Once the baby was born all those feelings went away and she adores her baby. Your hormones are on a rampage right now. Everything will work out

Well its normal for her to feel that way because she's a child and she really doesn't know any better. For you not being able to connect is not good. Just know that once the baby comes you will have enough love for both.
