HI all

[helenp]

hello everyone, im new to the forum and was hoping for some advice, I found out i was pregnant this week, im approx six weeks pregnant. im 27, married in July and we are happy.

We always wanted children eventually but was shocked that it happened so quickly, i am going through a rollercoaster of emotions and feel really scared, none of my friends have children,i feel like i will be alone, there are no financial worries and i always thought id be over the moon but finding it hard to take in, feel quite low and this is making me feel guilty, it seems that most people are overjoyed when they find out and im just hoping i will feel like this eventually, is this normal? x

Firstly Welcome to the Forum

What you are experiencing all sounds very common and very normal, even for a mum with loads of children.

As the pregnancy progressing and you bond more with the baby things gets easier and the excitement kicks in about your impending arrival

Good luck with your pregnancy

Welcome to the forum. It's pretty normal to feel overwhelmed no matter what the circumstances.

Congratulations!

hello and welcome it is such a huge, overwhelming thing that we all feel a bit bamboozled by it all, don't worry, it's so normal

Hi helenp,

I'm new to this site too. Me and my partner discovered I was pregnant on the 22nd of this month and I'm about 6 weeks so far. We had been trying (only for about 2 months) but now I am, I'm happy but terrified. I'm the opposite - I'm the last one out of my friends to fall pregnant and even though I haven't told anyone yet they are still ramming all of their advice down my throat!!!

One minute I'm giddy about being a Mum, the next I'm close to tears thinking will I cope etc.
My fella has been brilliant so far but I think until I've been to the doctors and passed certain stages then we will keep quiet and not get too excited.

Congratulations and you're in the best place here. Looking at other posts the people on here have been fantastic so you are definately in safe hands if you have any worries

Thanks rakrak, i feel the same,ive had moments when i feel excited and then im in tears, i seem to notice every baby that comes on the tv now! (-: seems surreal, trying to keep it quiet at the moment, I dont think it will feel real until the first trimester has passed.

I went to the docs yesterday, female doctor, was really unhelpful, said it is all done through the midwife now and seemed like she couldnt wait to get me out of there, its quite concerning really that she didnt ask me how i felt or anything, in the end had to go to receptionist for advice, luckily she was really nice and said the midwife will contact me next week so hopefully that will be better, i hope that your doctor is more helpful x
