welshy88

Hey peeps! Just wondering if any body else,out there is concerned that your little one is going to get jealous or feel left out when the new arrival comes?? I am 16 weeks pregnant and I have a 14 month little boy already he is all for me and loves his attention from his mummy he's really close to me as its me he spends most of his time with. Just praying when his brother or sister arrives he doesn't feel left out I wouldn't want that at all any advice peeps? Or is anybody else out there in the same position? thanks x

I think the same thing but daughter will b six two days before I'm due. She has been the baby, spoiled (rotten), the princess u name it, n now not only am I having a baby, but its a girl. She's excited n so am I just not sure how she's gonna react once it becomes reality, you know? Not sure how its going to play out either just have to take it one day at a time n make sure she knows she's still my baby n princess, but now I have two.

yes.. I spoil my baby girl rotten...i live her more than anything...well now the same as this baby...but I already cry just thinking about it. Idk what im going to do when im in the hospital...are you guys letting your little stay with you in the hospital?

In UK your not even aloud your birthing partner to stay with you let alone your child! Wish I could take him with me thank u all for your advise just praying that he'll be ok

Yes & I feel guilty that he don't be the only one anymore. He knows there's a baby in mommys 'tum' as he calls it & says he wants a baby to keep here, but he's only 3 so I'm not sure how much he really understands. I babysit infant twins & he loves helping with them & having them here so I hope he feels the same when his * I hope sister arrives.

I'm extremely worried. My 6 year old has a different father (who has never been there for her) and its my boyfriends first baby and the first baby in his family period. He's really good with here. I just don't want her to get hurt or feel left out once the baby comes. I've been making a point to include her in everything and spend as much quality time with her as possible. I think its just important to make every moment count

My husband n i are expecting our first. But he has 3 from his first marriage. 9,8,7 yrs old. They are happy with ha when they visit and call me mom n stuff. But I'm terrified of there reaction once our baby boys born.:( they've been mixed...there mom has been a b#@*h and ruins there delicate minds by hurting there feelings. How do we build a bond that keeps being attached ? Ideas? Stressed

I'm afraid our dog Pushkin won't feel as special cuz he's always been our baby. I'm gonna make sure he always knows how much we love him! :X

@almost4- I have been planning on getting my little girl (22months) a baby boy doll (if I can find one). So I have a baby to take care of and she does too. I've been calling her brother her baby and talking to her about how they are going to share a room (at least for now). She started off being jealous but in the last two months has been really sweet. She will pat my belly and say hi!! She pretends to use a "doppler" and listens to the "heartbeat"!! And I've tried to snuggle with her as much as she wants. I think she's excited the baby is coming. Plus he gives her nice presents like bubbles and sunglasses etc because he's excited to meet her.

Im afraid of that my 5yr old has her moments where shes ok but other times she gets upset and says im not gonna love her anymore. Ive gotten her big sister presents and we took her on a vacation of her choice and we just do things together with her we have always done things as a family we r really close buy we try to make it more about her. Like pp mentioned I feel guilty also and I cry abouy it cause the last thing I want is for her to feel left out. I tried talking to my aunt about it and instead she came back at me saying I was the jelous one wth? At least now I know theres nothing wrong with me for feeling like that

I'm in the same position as @sweetsurprise . I was hoping id have a boy to add a different dynamic so my daughter wouldn't feel compared by him or his family. I've reminded her many times I'm here to talk about anything but she's very excited for her little sister to come.
