I'm planning to have another baby but I have massive guilt about how my two year old will feel.
It makes me sad to think he will never remember when it was just the two of us and also that he might feel I don't love him as much anymore.
I know having another child will be fine and he will get use to it not to mention the memories he can now make with a sibling.
I just can't help but feel sad, guilty and selfish. He is a big mummas boy.

I remember feeling like that when my second came along! I was incredibly close to my first and she was 2 when my son was born! It's amazing how these feelings change and you realise you have more than enough love for both of them! I also did spend a lot of one on one time with my first when my second was sleeping. And we still do that now when we can. Don't feel guilty as you will still be able to have that closeness and also they get the joy of being a sibling xx
You certainly have more than enough love for both. Think of the new skills he will learn. How to share, empathy for other children, a bit of independence and someone to play with. I'm not sure I've ever heard an adult say 'Im pissed my mum had two kids'.
