Ive just found out that im expecting baby number 2!
I know i should be feeling excited and happy, but im really not! I actually feel pretty sad...
I thought i wanted another baby but now im not so sure. I love our little family of three and im terrified i wont ever be able to love anyone else the way i love my DS. I feel so guilty for feeling this way...
Im scared that i wont be able to cope with two babies and im already feeling guilty about the fact that my time is going to be shared between DS and a new baby. (ive only just been to my docs and admitted that i have PND so this has thrown me up in the air)

I always wanted to have two children, i loved having my brother around when i was growing up and i wanted the same for DS. But im now not sure if i just wanted a baby so my son could have a playmate or if i actually wanted another child to enhance my already beautiful family..

Im so confused... maybe im still in shock.

It is absolutely normal to feel the way you are. I think that in the next couple of months you should look for some help once the new baby comes. You're right that it will be lots of work but I have faith that you can do it. It is also really good to talk to people about it.
All the best to all 3 of you.

You'll be fine. It's normal to be in shock especially if u didnt plan it... and yes u'll be able to love the baby as much s u love the one u have now... Congrats!! And just relax, everything will fall in its place soon enough.
