I am having stress on deciding if I should have another baby with my new husband. I have two children from a previous marriage that I share custody with. My Husband doesn not have any children of his own. I would love to have a baby with him but I am concerned on how it will affect my two sons. They are 8 and 6 and I don't want them to feel left out. It will be hard to explain that the new baby gets to stay with mommy all the time and they have to go back and forth between me and their dad's house. What could I do to make the transition successfull?
I had a baby girl with my new hubby & my 8 year old has been asking for a baby brother ever since...include them just like you would have if there hadn't been any divorce & they will adjust.
my husband and i have two beautiful daughters together and my son and his kids have all been extremely accepting. i think the trick is to include them in on things. for instance we all took a birthing class to help them understand what would be happening and then my two older stepdaughters sat in on the birth of both kids and got to give them their first bath. they say it makes them feel closer to the babies. also make sure you give them attention while you are pregnant and INCLUDE THEM! i also agree that you should just proceed with life like there wasnt a divorce.
