Many, maaany times while pregnant, and at least once a day since having LO

About a week before my daughter was born I had a mild freak out. I couldn't believe we would have four kids!!!!

Yup!!! You will be a great mom to two!

I still have those days with R. Especially on Sat and Sun mornings when I can no longer sleep in.

I have this feeling at least once a week. I'm so excited that she's going to be ours, but sometimes I'm walking the dog and I think about how it will be a few years before I can go on a long run by myself when my husband is traveling or I'll see her room and it will feel real that a third person is going to live with us and be ours.

@BabyBoecksMom: OMG I just had my first 'holy $#!t I'm going to have 2 kids!' moment the other day. Pure terror and fear at what I've gotten myself into..... I thought I was the only one! lol!

About 80% of the time? It's getting better but at halfway through my pregnancy it's still a toss-up between excited and terrified most of the time...and this pregnancy was completely planned and hoped-for!

Not only have I had those moments this pregnancy, it had brought me to tears, TWICE!

I would say that concern hangs over the vast majority of my thoughts, and I am only 11w3d pregnant. And yes, this was a planned pregnancy that followed a miscarriage.

When I took the pregnancy test with E I had a minor "oh shit what have we done?" panic attack sitting on the toilet in the bathtub.

Off and on during pregnancy, and then when I was in labor and they told me it was time to push it hit again.

And even sometimes a year later, lol.

Yes especially after puking twice on one day

I've had it more with #2 than I did for #1. I think my husband has even had it a few times during this pregnancy with how busy everything is. But now that I'm about to start the 3rd trimester I see small babies now I want to ask their moms if I can hold them (I resist though since I don't know the moms) and am getting very nostalgic looking at all LOs lil newborn clothes. I'm in full nesting mode so I'm getting to the point of this is going to be OK (once I get rid of the useless crap) and even really good having 2. I'm sure there will be rough patches but this girl in my belly already has some personality so I can't wait to meet her.

Ha! I have this feeling a lot, especially when I see my largely pregnant reflection. My husbands likes to joke with me, saying, "Well, we really did it this time!"

I had total baby fever, but when I got a positive pregnancy test (earlier than I expected), my reaction was to burst into tears. Becoming a parent is SCARY!

ALL THE TIME those first few weeks after Xander was born!!! I was like "What did we dooooooo????" I definitely feel that way less now, but I do miss sleeping in on weekends and just being able to go out and do stuff without having to schedule everything around feeding or pumping!

Yes, most definitely! When we got our BFP with this second LO, I was initially super excited and then spent the next six weeks wondering what the hell I had done. I kept looking at my DD, crying (me, not her) and thinking how awful it was that I was going to have to share my time with her. I also felt bad for this new baby as I was convinced I was never going to love it as much as I love my daughter. I also felt guilty that I was not excited about the pregnancy at all and wished we had waited a bit longer. I was miserable and took it out on poor DH for getting me pregnant (have I mentioned the irrational side of my brain was in hyperactive mode?)

I'm happy to report that those feelings all went away (coinciding with the end of that horrible first trimester exhaustion) by around 12 weeks and I am now over the moon about having a second baby!

So bottom line is that yes, I think it is all completely normal.

Not pregnant yet, but I was watching a documentary this weekend and the woman was giving birth, and I during the entire process I thought, "so umm, you want to do that?"

Yes when I took DS out of his carseat while asleep at the grocery store the other day and held him for 20 mins in the store so he could nap! I am crazy! What the h am I thinking having two kids!?

@Honeygold89: I'm almost 21 weeks and I don't like pregnancy either. I didn't like it when I was 13 weeks and I *really* don't like it now that every few days my belly feels like a balloon with too much air in it and it's only going to get worse, and baby likes to dance on my bladder so I'm already peeing about four drops every two minutes, and my boobs still feel like lead weights hanging from my chest with no relief in sight. Not gonna lie, as much as raising a baby seems kinda scary, what this is doing to my body makes me downright resentful.

The day DH returned to work, I looked at DD, and thought to myself, "Well, crap, now what?"

So I totally had one of these last night. I've had a couple before, but this one was complete with tears. I think I was exhausted--which I seem to be all the time--but hoping that it subsides as time goes on. Who knows, I'm only at like 6 weeks! But DH was really sweet and reminded me that we felt similarly when we got engaged, married, bought a house.... so maybe its just adjusting to big events? At least thats what I"m telling myself, eek!
