My 2 daughters are 15 months apart my 2nd nearly came at 32 Weeks ams I remember crying... and thinking that my eldest wouldn't have all my attention I was so upset and everytime I looked at her I couldn't stop crying. . But I shouldn't of worried it all fell into place and it was fine. .There is enough love to go around x

I wouldnt worry too much about this, as a mother you will always love all your children unconditionally whether or not there's 1, 2 or 10 children.

I believe at times we are forced into thinking that if we dont give over-indulge our children with gifts & affections we are labeled bad mothers but as good mothers we can only do whats best for our family "including children"

Good luck & wish you all the best.

Hi, congratulations! It's going to be a busy couple of years for you

Regarding your older child missing out, I think second time mums will always worry about that - I'm expecting baby #2 and there will be just over 2 and a half years between them and I'm certainly worried that my son will miss out on my full attention - he's been the centre of our whole world for his whole life! Focus on the positives - your daughter will have a younger brother or sister from an early age so won't have to make such a transition later on. My son is really engaged with the pregnancy so far which helps, your little one will obviously show slightly less interest but can still be involved with rubbing mummy's tummy etc which should be nice for you if nothing else! She'll be a perfect age to be a helper once baby's here

My friend had nippers 14 months apart and she said you just need military organisational skills for the practical stuff - the rest will take care of itself x

I had my two daughters 2 years 1 month apart and had similar worries. My worries proved to be totally unfounded. Yes, things are quite hectic to start with, but once you settle down into a routine it gets much easier. My daughters are now aged 13 and 15 and have been great company for each other whilst growing up. I'm now expecting a third baby, so my girls will have another litle sibling which is very exciting for us all

Things are hectic to begin with but it all slots into place. Congratulations, you will be fine. Your daughter will get lots of fuss as well I am sure.
