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.
