Not excited about 2nd pregnancy

Hi mummies. My firstborn is currently 13mo and I found out that I'm pregnant with my 2nd. It's not a surprise because we did plan for it. However after finding out that I'm pregnant, I don't feel excited at all. In fact I'm a little sad. Sad that my time with my firstborn is limited. Now I feel like I'm knowingly taking away time and attention from her. I'm scared too. How would I be able to handle 2 kids under 2? Is this normal? My husband simply just brushed it aside and told me not to think too much.

Hi, do acknowledge the fear that you have about managing 2 child at a time.🙆🏻‍♀️ Woman tends to prepare in their mind mentally and hence it does creates some anxiety in us. We often hope to be the best mother to our child, but at the same time remind ourselves to be present with your child and yourself, pace yourself, manage your own expectations too:) Do monitor on your emotions during this period of time, if it persists on or gets too overwhelming for you, do reach out for help :)
