After you had your second or third or more baby did you

 feel sad for the time you were losing with your other child(ren) like it would never be the same with them? 

I just had another baby and I am having these feelings.  Is this normal?  I am so happy but I am also so sad at the same time.

Completely normal.  I was also terrified when I was pregnant that my daughter would hate my son.  After I had him I felt like the worst mom ever, I did not have as much time for my daughter.  Just remember the newborn phase does not last long and things will get back to normal soon.  Relax and have your other child help with the baby.

 I wondered if I would when pregnant, but after my DS was born, I was twice as blessed and had twice as much love to give. I made sure my DD was very involved when he was a baby, and helped out.

I did before my second came. Then, I was too busy too think about it.

I felt that way even BEFORE DD2 was born.

Towards the end of my pregnancy, I started getting really emotional and sad. DD1 and I had had nearly 3 years alone together and our little dynamic was ending, BUT, the closer I got to delivery day, the more excited I became, and the more excited DD1 became and now they love each other soooo much :)

It's normal. Just know that while the dynamic may change, your love will only grow, and you'll learn to cherish the new normal!

How old is your DD? I'm sure she would love to help change the baby.like  Passing  you the wipes and diapers.

The very reason I'm done with just my one.

I think its normal. When i got og with my second, i felt tremendous guilt for "doing that" to ds1. I felt like i was taking his parents away from him, etc. But the thing is, now when i see my three kids together, it is so amazing. While they have the rare squabble, they just adore each other. I'm glad they have that gift, and family for when dh and I are no longer around.

No. Probably because my 3 are all spaced pretty far apart in age.
