Second Pregnancy, Real Talk: Self-Doubt, Guilt & Letting Go
You’ve had a baby before — so why does being pregnant again still feel so uncertain?
In this episode of In Mother Words, I sit down with Jen — a working mom expecting her second child — for an honest conversation about the emotional complexity of a second pregnancy, and what it’s really like preparing to become a mom again.
We explore:
The pressure to “have it all figured out” as a second-time mom
Why self-doubt creeps in (even when you’ve done this before)
Guilt around asking for help again
Letting go of expectations and learning to trust yourself
Preparing your firstborn to welcome a sibling
💛 If you’ve ever thought, “I should know better by now…” — this one’s for you. Because every pregnancy, every baby, and every mother’s journey is different.
✨ Tune in for real talk on second pregnancies, self-trust, and the lessons we learn all over again.
