Could someone help me calm down? (surprise pregnancy)?
I have a 2 1/2 yr old boy. We found out this weekend that I am pregnant! This was not at all planned, so we are still in a state of shock. We weren't planning on having more than one child, but we also believe what is meant to be is meant to be.
First... I called my doctor this morning to schedule my appointment to get the ball rolling. She's no longer delivering babies! I LOVE my doctor and I've been crying all day over this. She was so wonderful with my first baby. I got a referral to another doctor, but I am still not over the shock of not being able to go to her. I feel so overwhelmed now. Has this happened to anyone? Funny, I think over the weekend we were okay with the new change and revelation of this pregnancy, but today with this news.... it's like my irrational hormones took over and I just freaking out!
The other thing I need some advice on is all this guilt I am feeling for my son. We adore him. We dote on him, he is our world. I feel like I am ruining our little family unit. I love my son so much, I cannot fathom having enough room in my heart for another one. I heard this is normal, but can someone reassure me I am not crazy? I've been teary eyed over this one today too!
Thanks in advance, I just really need some sisterly bonding and mommy stories right now.

I know you are a bit overwhelmed right now but just take a step back and breathe.
First, if your beloved doctor has referred someone, take a chance .... she wouldn't have recommended someone she doesn't trust.
Secondly, hearts are a wonderful thing ... they just open up and let more love in. Yes, you will still love your son and yes you will love your next child.
My kids are 14 and 12..... and I can't imagine not having either. Enjoy your babies because they will grow up faster than you will ever imagine.

I'm sorry about your doctor. Yes, I'm dealing with it right now. I had my first baby when I was only 16. The doctor that I had was great. He was also some one I could just open up to. Well now that baby is 4 1/2 years old... I'm 7months pregnant and WAS seeing the same doctor. Then out of no where my insurance changed! He dose not take it. Now I was with out a doctor and having problems with this pregnancy. So I was so up set! I cried so hard. But I had to deal with not having my doctor... I'm still looking for a new doctor but I think I found one I like.
Every thing always works out for the best sooner or latter. So just keep thinking it will be sooo worth it when I have the baby.

I was 2 1/2 years old when my Mom got pregnant w/ my brother. I'm sure I was jealous at some point but I don't remember at all & he was & is my best friend in the world. Your son now is going to have a constant playmate, it's one of the greatest things you can do for him. You just made life a million times more fun. As for the dr thing, it sucks but get over it. Same thing w/ the unexpected surprise. Take a look at the posts from women who are struggling to conceive. Just be happy you have been blessed TWICE. Other women go through so much to get what is causing you so much anxiety. Congrats!

No ur definitely not crazy. As u said ur still in a state of a shock. It happened to my freind too. She is now pregnant, almost 6 yrs after her daughter. She was crying all the time and going mad. But time heals everything. She's now a happy preggy lady getting ready for delivery next month. I'm sure u'l be ok too. Just try meditating at times ur about to go mad.
One thing more, Love is never divided. It's multiplies as u get more kids...
