I have a 29 month old and a 10 month old. I felt the same way. I felt as though the whole pregnancy was tempered by "am I ready???" It is hard, I can't lie, but now we don't know what we'd do with out our youngest. They play together and have a great relationship. London has adjusted well to Bristol being a part of the family. Mommy and daddy feel like we need a vaca sometimes though.

I have a Sept 08 baby and a 3 month yr old. Alex took to being a big brother really well. I bought a book called "Theres a house in my mummy" and read that to him every other night. It did wonders for preparing him. He loves to help me and is always getting me nappies, or wipes or helping wind Nick - it's lovely. A friend bought her son a dolly when her second one was born. Instead of saying no all the time, she would say - yes you can help - go put a nappy on your baby while mummy does the new baby. Worked wonders too.

My daughter was born 9/7/08 and I now have a son who was born on 9/18/10!!!! My daughter gets a little jealous now and then but she LOVES her baby brother! Good luck with the pregnancy!

I have a 3 month old and my son absolutely loves her. During the pregnancy we told him there was a baby in mommies belly and he kissed my belly every night. The day she was born we helped him hold her and explained that sissy came out of mommies belly. At first he was a little scared but after a couple seconds he gave her kisses and didn't want to let her go. He likes to give her kisses and gets upset if she gets upset. What we have to watch out for is him being too rough with her when he gives her a hug, and when he tries to pick her up. The jealousy is there though. The first month/ month and a half he showed his jealousy mostly through behavior, not toward the baby, just by screaming and throwing things, another thing to watch. But overall he loves her and watches out for her.

My son was only 10 months old when we had his baby sister. She was born 3 weeks early by emergency c-sec, so I didn't get to see him for a little bit, but Daddy spent some good quality time with him. I've found that as long as both mommy and daddy take turns paying attention to each child equally, things go fairly smooth. I'm sure there will always be jealousy, but what brother or sister doesn't have jealousy amongst them? Just take everything day by day and don't wear yourself out. Get as much help as you can, and try to spend some quality time alone with each child separately.

my daughter was born sept 12 of 08 and im now 7 weeks pregnant with the second child. i was having the same feelings as you because my daugher is so used to having me all to herself and it doesnt help that she is going through the terrible twos at the moment. but i was told the same thing just keep them involved as much as you can and try to make it a great experience for them too.. my daughter too has trouble believing that i have a baby in my belly but i take her with me to my appointements and ultrasounds so im hoping she will catch on soon i just know she will be a great big sister... you will be fine everything usually works out :)

I am 7wks pregnant with twins, I have 2 children but there is a 10 yr gap so it was easy but yes it is a bit worrying having more but are kids will be nearly 3 when they are due and I've heard that around that age the like to help with the baby. My 2yr is great with her 2mth niece but all she ants t do is hld her so we just explain that she is sleeping or eating and she goes ff and plays so it will be fine.

I have 2 girls and the 1st was great when her sister came. When I got too pregnant to do some stuff with her she found a best friend in daddy. I also suggest that when the baby is born for your son to pick a gift to give the baby and surprise your son with a gift from the baby (maybe something he could play with when visiting you in the hospital). Our jealousy issues didn't start until my second started moving and closing in on her sisters toys.
Hope this helps.

It will take a while for him to get adjusted to losing some of your attention but ultimately he will be fine and love having a baby around. I have a 6mth old and a 26 mth old both girls and my eldest is really enjoying having her little sister around and loves giving her cuddles and kisses.

Hi there I made my September 08 bub hayley a big sister 20 months later, and she is smitten with her brother Harry . I got her used to the idea by talking with her, showing her books and pictures if babies and big sisters. When he was born I had a gift for hayley from him and six months later it's still her favorite toy:)

It can be a little challenging once the baby comes but it does get better...My daughter took about 2-3 weeks to adjust but now she loves her baby brother

I am 16 weeks along with my second, and so far so good. I'm starting to introduce the idea of a new baby to my daughter and she seems to get excited, and she like to rube my belly and say my baby. So I can't wait until the little one is here!

my oldest was born on sept 10 2008 and i got pregnant with his brother when he was 9 months old. we just kept trying to keep him involved. we told him his brother was in mommys tummy and he would point to it and say "theres jackson!" and my parents brought him to the hospital to meet him right after the baby was born. and whenever i fed the baby i made sure bryce got a snack and he sat right next to me while i fed the baby and everythime i changed a diaper i would say "bryce come help mommy!" so he felt very included in everything, i even put a stool next to the changing table lol so he could see what was going on. and now they just love eachother.

I had my second child 21 mos after my September 2008 baby on April 30th. The day we took our youngest home from the hospital, big sister was reallly mad. But she cooled off after a few days and was even hugging and kissing her little sister. I can not say that there isn't jealousy, both ways they are certainly sistrs and certainly have their moments. But it has been wonderful still. They both love each other soo much it's really cute.

i'm due in 10 weeks with number 2, my daughters been really great throughout the last part of the pregnancy, she was a bit alarmed and clingy at the start when i started getting bigger but once we found out it was a girl and gave her a name my eldest has calmed and starting to really look forward to meeting her new baby sister =)

I just had my second a lil boy and my daughter loves her littler brother.. now. She was great during the pregnancy and unsure at first but by day 3 she was fine with him. 3 weeks old now and she wants to carry him, share her toys and food. Its super cute.

Congrats. I have had another baby since our first was born in Sept 08. Our new baby is coming up to 4 months old. Our eldest has been amazing and handled the new addition well. Occassionally gets frustrated when I cant play on demand due to feeding or nappy explosions but overall is great.

Just include him in everything. My son was born spet 3 2008 I had my other son trever april 2010. At first he was very jealous, at the hospital trever had joundice and had to go under the black lights. So I was in the hospital for a week and he was angry. But as long as you have help like grandma or grandpa or someone that can give there undivided attention to him. And don't coddle your other baby, make him understand that he has to wait for mommy to touch the baby, and that you love him everytime you should him his brother or sister. I did that with mine, and he hugs and kisses trever all the time. He only gets a little jealous still when he feels ignored.

My son Keanu was born 1st Sep and I am 34 weeks pregnant. I felt the exact same, how can we have another baby in the house when its been just us three for this long. Now i'm towards the end of pregnancy I feel alot better about having another baby. Only time will tell how Keanu will react, he knows i'm having a baby and he rubs my belly. I think you don't need baby no 1 to know to soon about the pregnancy, wait till your showing, 9 months is a long time for a toddler.

I'm 6 months pregnant with my second baby and I'm trying to teach my son that there's a baby inside my belly but he also says that theres a baby inside his belly so I dont think that he understands yet. I am having a problem changing his diaper, he doesnt like getting a new one put on and he kicks his legs like crazy and keeps kicking me in the belly. Did anyone else have this problem? I'm starting to get worried he might hurt the baby.

my son was born sept 16th we got pregnant in july 2009 and had out daughter april 9th 2010. He did fine with her. he was a little unsure of what she was but as she has gotten older he LOVES his little sister. we read books about new babies, talked about "baby in mommy tummy(sometimes)/ he loves to try and help feed her(bottle), tries to hold her, he lays floor with her and plays. he is a GREAT big brother.

i am due in march. i bought one of the home things that you can listen to the baby with and my son loves it. if you ask him where the baby is he will say it is in mommys tummy. he found a spare set of headphones and he runs around saying that he is listening to his baby sister. he loves it. i found so far that has helped him understand that he is going to be a big brother. it says that you cant use them till you are like 21+ weeks to hear the heart beat but i could hear the baby move before that. i still cant hear a heart beat yet and i am 22 weeks but an a bigger person and may never be able to hear it at home. it is nice that he can hear the baby before he can feel her moving.

I have a 5 month old girl now and he has been great. the only problem has been that he wants to hug her to much and she gets mad.
