With my first, he was a surprise. A little oops. When I got that positive test I was shaking, elated, wanted to tell the whole world. I looked forward to each new week reading up on what developments he was going through, excited for each scan, excited for when I'd get a bump.
And of course so excited to meet him.
Don't get me wrong, it wasn't an easy pregnancy. I struggled severely with back pain and had to be signed off work at 25 weeks due to being unable to move without pain. I woke up most days sobbing in pain, but I was still so so thrilled.
This pregnancy was planned. Albeit we decided to try to conceive on the 6th of August, got my positive on the 18th August. We were lucky and caught first time. But when I got that positive test there was no shaking, no wanting to run around and tell everybody who will listen.
I'm 6+1 today, by my LMP and OPKs. I just don't feel excited. In fact, I feel like something's wrong. And I feel so angry, like blind rage about every little thing.
Those who have read my other post about previous labour complications might understand my hesitancy a bit.
But my question to you wonderful mummas out there -
Is this normal? Is it normal not to feel happy and excited and just feel worried and angry all the time? Will I get more excited once I have a scan? Will this feeling go away?
I feel like there's something wrong with me
