The minute your doctor confirms that you are pregnant, you are thrilled. If you are expecting your second child then once again that mommy-to-be feeling of happiness and pride surrounds you.  Along with happiness and joy, there are many other things that motherhood brings to us. One of the foremost factors is the emotional roller-coaster you experience at regular intervals. With tons of questions running through the mind, one question that puts every expectant mom in an uncomfortable state on and off is whether she would be able to give equal attention and time to her second child what she has given to her first one. This is a natural concern that most second-time moms share. The only reason I can think for this state is with your first one, you are there all the time. But with the second one, the first child is also there who needs even more attention.

Now, when my second baby is on the way, I can tell you that I have also experienced this fear once (in the beginning of my pregnancy journey). But later just by thinking and going over my past years with my daughter, I was calm. So, let me share that with you too.

 

• I know how to set my routine: I understand that in this time span of having your second baby, many things have changed in terms of your priorities, your work, your routine and now again going back to that mommy-baby-bonding time (with your second one), things might look little challenging. But being an experienced mom, you know what schedule works best for you. You know how to plan your day.

• We three are going to be a team: Your older kiddo will understand the importance and fun of doing things together. Think it this way that you have an added member in your team.

• There is no written mantra for upbringing your second child: I always keep reminding myself these words. Whatever works best for you and your child – that is your own mantra. You will be creating a special bond with your second one. That comes naturally to every mom.
