Am I being Selfish?

[xx.kelly]

I was wondering if anyone else felt the same way as me :

I am 9 and a half weeks pregnant and was looking forward to spending some alone time with my baby when he or she was born

But now I have just found out that my boyfriend is going to be working from home and It has really annoyed me….and I don’t even know why?

Am I being really selfish?

Maybe he just wants to spend sometime with you and the baby, you'll be really tired for the first couple of weeks and probably appreciate the help

I would love to have my oh around to help for bit,

But he prob only be home for about the frist week

Enjoy your pregnancy first, that your time alone with LO, just you and he/she and no one can share that with you, the kicks are just between the two of you etc and although I can relate to you wanting just you and baby time after the birth I think you'll appreciate him being around. My DH has a week off after the birth and I can't wait, our first week as a family, I'm so soppy about it but really can't wait, it's going to be a special time and nice to have someone else on hand that you completely trust with LO to help when your tired and need a break etc. Labour is just that, it's labour, it's hard work and you need to remember that after even the most straight forward delivery the body will take a while to recover and you honestly will appreciate him being at home then - you might feel differently when your about due, you really do go though emotional changes while pregnant.

during your first few weeks of pregnancy I think we all get over protective and we're very emotional even if we dont realise it, I really look forward to my hubby coming home from work so we can spend time together as a family and also to give me a few minutes 'my time' where I dnt have to be constantly listening for baby etc (not that I dont enjoy it) but it is nice to be able to just relax totally knowing that baby is safe and protected. it's also nice for my DH to spend time on his own with the baby. even if I am only sitting in other room or gone for a little walk! I'm sure as your pregnancy progresses you'll change your mind so try not to worry about it.

I work from home with my other half and I am REALLY pleased that he will be here 24/7 with me the whole time. I couldn't imagine him missing out.
