Pregnancy Concerns

If you currently already have a small child and are pregnant again is it wrong or weird to be more concerned about your self and the current living children then the pregnancy?

I don't think so. I'm 28+ weeks and my 4yr old comes before everything. I love this baby no doubt, but my 4yr old is what is most important right now. =)

Im in that place right now where I love this baby but my daughter and myself come first but just saying that aloud makes me feel not so good about myself. It was so different when I was pregnant with my 1st.  It was like if someone had to be saved let it be my child and not me. Now it's not

I understand that. My 4yr old needs me..and he is just the #1 priority right now. I love my sweet little unborn baby so much, but she's not here yet..and anything could happen. I feel bad saying it/thinking it..but it's true.

I'm 36 weeks and have a 5 yr old. I honestly am more worried about how and when ill have time to sleep and how my daughter will adjust with just starting school this year and becoming a big sister. Of course dad will be around but he works 3rd shift so it'll be me doing wverything all day so he can sleep.

im with all u ladys n ive always thought to my self if it was selfish but i have never told anybody that cz i felt guilty abt.. i love my unborn bby but at this moment my daughter is still my world i would do anything n everything for her... I ive always asked other moms if they loved their other kids just as much as their first n they all said u love them the same so i gues i love her just as much wen shes born!
