Those preggo with # 2, 3 or more

Are you more nervous now than with # 1 after knowing what to expect during pregnancy, labor, and with a newborn..

I am very nervous about being preggo with # 2..

Re: Those preggo with # 2, 3 or more

I am having #2 on Friday.

More nervous, no. a little freaked about taking care of two, yes...

I am having a scheduled c- section this time, so I am not at all worried about the birth, because I know exactly what to expect now.

Re: Those preggo with # 2, 3 or more

only nervous about how to deal with 3 kids under 3--the whole being PG and delivering is still fresh news to me!

Re: Those preggo with # 2, 3 or more

I was very anxious about labor and delivery when #2 came. I guess because I knew what to expect and what was going to happen. I wasn't nervous to take of 2 under 2 though.

Re: Those preggo with # 2, 3 or more

Because of the twin pregnancy, I've been much more nervous, always expecting something to go wrong. but I'm much less nervous about giving birth, actually looking forward to going into a planned csection being well rested etc. Nervous about having 2 newborns and a 20 month old.

Re: Those preggo with # 2, 3 or more

I feel like I've been more relaxed this pregnancy than I was with DD. I had so many fears and anxieties with her. I am not care free by any means but not as bad.

I do worry about childbirth though. I had all natural with DD and plan to do the same and worry a little bit because I know what to expect and how hard it is where with DD I really had no clue.

Re: Those preggo with # 2, 3 or more

I had a c-section with ds, and i do not look forward to having it again. i think the worst for me is the anticipation of the epidural ( im very scared of that), how it feels trying to move and worst of all, worrying about my son at home and hoping my dh does not leave my ds with my inlaws

Re: Those preggo with # 2, 3 or more

YES....not so much PG or Labor, the after with a NB..YES

Re: Those preggo with # 2, 3 or more

Nervous about labor and delivery? Nope- not at all.

Nervous about coming home with a newborn? Nope, BTDT- we were a total team with #1, will be again with #2. Now I understand the mechanics of soothing a newborn and BFing

Nervous about being a mom to 2 under 2? OMFreakingG YESSSSS. I have been lying awake at night forcing my DH to repeat the mantra, "It will be fine, it will be fine, it will be fine" until I finally fall asleep....

Re: Those preggo with # 2, 3 or more

i wasnt with # 2 b/c they are 6 1/2 years apart. This time im nervous b/c #2&3 will only be about 18 months apart. I know what im in for with a newborn+ i have a toddler and school aged child. Im scared, nervous, anxious, excited, scared....

Re: Those preggo with # 2, 3 or more

I am having #2. I am not nervous about labor or the newborn stage. What's been on my mind (and I would't say I was nervous about it, just something I am thinking about) is my routine with my son. Every morning he wakes up and sits on my lap as he is drinking his milk. Then gets down, plays, comes back up and so forth. I don't want to give this time up, so I will just have to hold both of them at that time.

Re: Those preggo with # 2, 3 or more

Only more nervous in the way that with my last pregancy, everything was text-book, no complications at all...With this one, I have already had 2 sub-chorionic bleeds and have complete previa so now I'm a worried mess that everything will be ok and am looking out for every little sign that its not- very nerve-wracking...i was so nice and naive last time !!!

Re: Those preggo with # 2, 3 or more

Not so nervouse about delivery. But more nervous of how logistically it will be in our small apt with two little ones

Re: Those preggo with # 2, 3 or more

I'm not yet nervous about delivery. I am having a scheduled c-section so I know I won't have to worry about contractions.

I am worried about how I"m going to adjust to having 2 at home.

Re: Those preggo with # 2, 3 or more

Having a c-section this time, after having an unexpected one for my first... so not worried about delivery, I know what to expect.

Definitelly worried about the first few weeks home with two though!!!!! I also would like to BF again but worry that it will take too much time away from my older child.
