Absolutely, reluctance can play a role. Don't feel bad for being honest, I too was reluctant when I was however I wouldn't trade my duaghter for the world. It is mainly hormons speaking for themselve, stick it out....

It's very normal to have mixed feelings. Especially since pregnancy already has a huge hold over your hormones as it is! I would see no reason why you wouldn't keep your baby unless you are a teenage mom who is already struggling with raising your 14 month old. Only you can decide if caring for another baby is something you are ready for and capable of doing. There are alot of wonderful people waiting to adopt too, so if you decide to give it up, know that you are not doing your baby an injustice but giving it the best possible life you can. That's what being a mother is about.

I have two girls one is 18months the other is 4months. When I found out I was Pregnant the second time I was horrified. I didn't know if I wanted her. I just thought what if I had an abortion with my first I wouldn't have this beautiful little girl and I couldn't do it. To be honest I didn't even know if I wanted my daughter until 1 month AFTER she was born. Now I can not imagine life with out her. I think you should keep it, BUT it is not up to me. I don't know everything that is going on with your life and your the only person who could make the decision so do what you think is best talk to the baby's father if you can and talk about it and do what makes the most sense in your life. I am not going to lie it is really hard having 2 kids close together but I would not have it any other way. My girls love playing together now they are really going to like it later when they are bigger plus they are going to be in to similar things (the oldest wont be out of barney or what ever when the other one is in to it). Me and my sisters are close and we are the best of friends. Good Luck with everything!

Yes, it will all work out. I have a 14 month old now and I know they are a handful, and being pregnant just adds stress to that, but they will have good spacing between them and probably be the best of friends. By the time the baby is born your 14 month old will be closer to 2 years old and will be a little helper with the baby. These things just work themselves out. In a year you will look at your sweet little baby's face and be so grateful that you kept him or her. Good luck.

Yes.Especially if the pregnancy was unexpected.Yes you should keep it.It had no choice,you did.Sometimes women that find themselves in your situation will say."I just don't know how I can take care of two children". They find out later that it is done the exact same way as taking care of one.You will take care of it,feed it,and love it just as much as 1,2,3 etc.You are just experiencing a little anxiety,you'll be fine.Just think you will have twice as much joy in your life as the first child brought.I envy you.I had my first child at 34,when I was convinced that I would never experience the miracle of chidbirth and motherhood.Now that she is years old,I want so badly to have another baby,it just hasn't happened and I just try not to be selfish or greedy,because I know there are so many couples who wish they could have just one.You are blessed,think of it no other way.

my son was 5 months old when I found out I was pregnant with number 2, I was crying all the time cause they were going to be close together but I got over it within 2 weeks and me and my husband are so glad they are close together.
The real question is to you, you already had one, if you didnt want another, why didnt you use protection ?

Yes, it's normal to feel reluctant. But children are totally worth it in my opinion. Nothing beats warm baby hugs and wet kisses in the morning.

u already conceived it, so its best to keep it and it would help if you try to stay happy...
and you don't know how lucky ur other kid is, having a sibling not too many years younger than them sorts out the age differences later on in life...
relax, its normal to feel so when you already have one kid not so long ago, but trust me, you will cherish the experience later...
good luck!!!

yes it is perfectly normal. Each woman reacts differently to a pregnancy. You are the only one that can make that decision unfortunately.
