STM guilt already

C-section is booked for Tuesday. Since we have to be there at 6:30 am, DS is going to stay with Mom. He'll also be spending Tuesday night too. He loves his Nan and I know he'll be fine, but I'm having the hardest time knowing that I won't get to see him Tuesday morning before I go in. I'm also struggling with that fact that I'll be in the hospital 3-4 days and not home to see him. Anyone else going through this crazy guilt or am I just a hormonal mess?

I think i started to feel guilty the minute I knew I was pregnant with 2! So you are not alone, and I think it's totally normal. It will all be fine, no worries!

I'm likely to have an early arrival due to pree and I feel like DS1 is getting shortchanged on what is left of his solo time with mama and dada, gah!

I still have several weeks to go but I already feel so guilty! I've only been away from DS one night and it kills me because he is too young to understand.

I definitely felt that way the 2nd time around, especially because my little guy didn't know my parents very well (we are military and lived across an ocean from them and they came out to help). It worked out just fine, he did great and he loved having people around that were there just to entertain him :)

I am a c/s mom to, the waiting to be released was the hardest part, I just wanted to go home and be in my own bed and start figuring out how everything was going to work.

LO is young enough that I don't think she will be too upset, especially since I plan on sending DH home to be with her after I have the baby.

I, on the other hand, am worried about me! I am never really away from LO, I am even a sahm. I am trying not to think about being away from her for several days b/c it makes me want to puke!

DH built lo#3s crib tonight and when it was done I totally cried for an hour because it hit me this is all reality soon, and my babies are not going to seem like babies at all when this new sweetie comes into the world. I know it'll all be okay because I've done it before... But still feel guilty and sad (in a way, although excited too).

I am too, I am having a little trouble with him not being the "baby" anymore either.

Same here, except I'm planning a HB so I hopefully won't have to leave him over night. I'm just scared he will feel less loved once baby is here. That breaks my heart to think about! GAh! The mommy guilt...

Yup, I'm going through it too. LO hasn't spent the night without us ever. Grandma and Grandpa have put her to bed, though, and that has gone well. We live a block away from the hospital, so DH will probably be back and forth, so that makes me feel better. And the ILs live right around the block, so that should also be helpful. Siblings and spouses are allowed on the floor 24/7, so if it's that big of a problem, they can always bring her up to see me.

Thanks for all the responses. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one feeling this way.

I'm right there with you. I have a C-section on January 3rd and we'll be dropping my son off at my parents' house the evening of the 2nd. He loves my parents and one of my sisters will be home for her winter break from nursing school, so I know he'll have a blast, I'm just going to miss him and worry about how little I'll see him over those first few days.

I'm also worried about how he's going to adjust in general and that fear is making my guilt worse.

I'm having a hard time with the realization that DS won't be my only baby anymore, even though he hasn't been a baby for a long time. I've been spending a lot of time just snuggling with him before I'm busy with LO. I'm not worried about him not getting enough attention, because I know he will, and he wants to help with the baby so there'll still be lots of quality time. It's just kind of bittersweet in a way, I guess.

agreed! DD is a mama's girl, and she's sick right now, so I'm having horrible guilt that she's going to cry for me and I won't be there to comfort her. :/  but I know she needs to rely on DH and Grandma, and she loves them and will be fine.  and I know giving her a lil sister is a wonderful gift that she'll be happy to receive in the long run. but it doesn't stop me from worrying.
