Nervous/Scared , Second Baby

I'm 19 weeks pregnant with my second baby. My son is 13 months old. I wasn't nervous/scared about having him at all. I delivered him all natural, no pain medication. I plan to do the same with this one too but the only thing is is I'm nervous/scared about having him/her. Could this be because I kind of know what to expect? We're any of you mommies like that too? Etc.? Thank You ☺

Same here my daughter is gonna be 2 in June and I'm due in august. No lie its a little scary just because she's so little and I don't want her to ever think that I'm going to love him more just because my attention will be mostly on him. Me and my husband made a schedule basically, try and involve her with the baby as much as possible and even now we tell her there's a baby in my belly. But now that the day is getting closer I'm not so worried I know my motherly instincts will kick in and so will yours naturally you'll just know what to do. Good luck mom and congrats :)

I'm in the same boat! I'm 18 weeks and have an 11 month old. I also went all natural with #1 and hope to do the same but clench when I think about it lol... It seems like I just went through this, still so fresh in my mind. Even though it was painful I look back and am happy with the birth experience I had, 12 hr. Labor and no complications, I can only hope for #2 to go as smoothly! Good luck!

I am only only 10 weeks along with number 2 and my girl is 2 and a half. I am 10x more scared about labour this time.  I swear my pain tolerance was so much higher before,  I'm a wimp now. But I think its normal to feel this way, you know how much it hurts,  but the good thing is, you also know how it is all worth it in the end and it will be over before you know it! (:
