Is the bond between a mother and her second child as strong as it was with her first?

Question

I just had my first baby and I was just contemplating what it would be like to have another child someday. I can't imagine loving another child as much as I do my first. But will I?

Answer 1

Noone can tell you if you will love your kid.

Answer 2

oh yes! it may seem like it wont be possible but the bond and love will be equal and you will adore him/her just as much :)

Answer 3

it depends sometimes parents give 1 of there children more attention be they are so much alike like i am with my mother don't be surprised i am only 10

Answer 4

Of course you will!!! if you go back in time before you had your child could you possibly imagine loving someone as much as you do your child??? the answer is probably no!! there is no other bond in the world like mother and child so its a womens natural instinct to feel overwhelming love for their children.

i do think though that if you are having to ask this question you should probably wait a while until you decide to conceive again, you dont want to do anything you regret. wait until you know for sure, but im certain if you did have another child you'd feel just as much love for second child as you did your first, at the end of the day theres no difference in the first and second theyre both yours!!!

Answer 5

YES, you'll always have a special and different connection with each child. it doesn't make any lesser than the other, just different. Just remember to love both children and spend lots of time with both together and split your quality time with them equally. I'm almost due with my second child, and though I know I love them equally, I get worried that I might spend more time on one than the other sometimes lol. but I'm very big on being a mom, so I know that it will all work out in the end, and they will both know that I love them, and there's no such thing as favourites. :)
