feeling low !

[chrystaltips]

Having a bit of an emotional time at the moment and have been having a bad day.

Last year I was told by a consultant that it was highly unlikely I'd be able to conceive naturally as I've had irregular periods all my life and wasn't ovulating. After that and an earlier pregnancy scare all I seemed to see was pregnant women and babies and I was really broody and have been obsessed with the whole thing for the past year.

Taking into consideration the above me and my OH weren't being careful but were prepared and fine with the fact that it could happen, however we weren't expecting it this soon! (only found out last week)

SOmetimes I feel really excited about it but at others and particularly today I've been feeling more scared than anything about everything, the responsibilty, how our lives will change and whether we can cope. I'm happy with my OH so that's not an issue but is it normal to feel like this?

Is there anyone else who had really mixed feelings about their pregnancy to start with even though they definately want children? If so when did it all start to feel good and positive? I feel a bit stupid to be saying all this as I'm 30 and me and OH earn ok wages. I just want to be one of those people who is totally over the moon without all this fear. Would appreciated your advice

We all have our fears about motherhood honey, and some people are less worried than others.. but we all do it!
U'll be fine honey! Seriously just relax and enjoy your pregnancy!
I felt happier when she was kicking the hell out of my ribs lol and i was buying baby stuff etc...

I totally understand! We decided to TTC and I got pregnant straight away and was in shock (I have always had really irregular periods too!)! I'm now nearing the end and I guess pregnancy takes up to 40 weeks to help you prepare for all the changes! I now can't wait and am feeling really excited, all the worries about money and our relationship changing seem much more trivial than being excited about our LO joining us!

You wait until you have your scans and start feeling kicks, you will love it! Also everyone around you gets so excited too, just get through the first tri and you'll feel much better
