Hey there, I've  been in this situation myself, and its  most likely that the bond your partner and your first child have formed wont change much. once love is there, it wont just fade away!  i say relax and enjoy your pregnancy and your family!! Good luck!!

You should be talking to him about all your concerns the key to a wonderful relationship is communication. If you're not comfortable self disclosing and talking about your problems, then why did you have a baby to him?? People need to learn to talk to one another about how they feel.

Re: favouritism

that is a normal concern to have. i know it could happen, but thats putting the wagon b4 the horse now, as my granny would say. they love each other and i believe your daughter is still gonna love hi all the same. do you honestly think that he could look into her innocent face and ignore her, because there is a new baby? i dont think so, hun. you are lucky to be blessed with such a wonderful man and the new baby will just be a positive additon to the family, not taking the place of your daughter

 be honest with him - the last thing you want is to be trying to deal with this with a baby in the house aswell.  it sounds like your a very loving family&you all have enough love to share no matter how big your family gets!

I'd highly recommend that you stop stressing about it lest you cause your fears to come true... Sometimes we can be our own worst enemies in this respect.  Worrying isn't good for you and worrying about something that may not even happen is really not healthy.  Right now you have so much to plan and organise and be excited about; concentrate on the positive things and work on things that are within your control.
