Sitting and thinking...

[Tangerinedream]

I was thinking about life today. I never planned my pregnancy, I was on the pill. There was no question about keeping it, not that im against abortion, its just not what I would want personally.

I was terrified about telling my OH but he just kissed me on my forehead and said it was ok. I moan about him sometimes but he is a really wonderful man. I hear other people talking about their bfs and I feel really lucky to have him in my life (10 years and counting )

I was thinking about what I would be doing now if I hadnt fallen pg. I imagine I would be doing what I'd always done- go to work, come home, watch tv, make dinner, have a bath, tidy up, go to bed, wake up, go to work etc... although that is what im doing at the mo until I go on mat leave in 2 weeks I have this massive life changing event around the corner!!! Like, Im having a baby man!!! How strange is that? A human being growing inside me! I sometimes feel like it couldnt possibly be happening and its all just a practical joke being played on me. Isnt nature wonderful

I get this feeling that this was meant to be and I cannot imagine my life going in any other direction, I cannot see any alternatives. Its strange.

The next 20 months will be hard financially, until I can return to work full time but I know it will all be worth it.

Sorry for the long post. I just feel so overwhelmed somedays.

thanks for reading

its the same for us, i had just gone on the pill at the beggining of october.. then i find out im pregnant at the end of october

i was really scared to tell my parents as we cant afford another baby and i only really wanted 2 children, just got a new job in september too so it was really hard to say im pregnant, not long after starting new job but hey.. i often think what would i do now if i wasnt pregnant, but here i am on maternity leave already due to problems.. dont get me wrong i am so happy its happened now

I totally agree, in fact I could have written all that myself!

It'll all work out exactly as its mean't to.

I feel exactly like this a lot of the time and could have written the above post too! This feels like it was meant to be and although a happy surprise, this baby is very much loved and wanted.

However, I often feel like it's a big joke being played on me and that one day the scan lady or midwife is going to turn round and say - there's nothing in there you fool - go back to work and stop making all this up! I feel like it's too good to be true and don't think I'll fully comprehend what is going on until I have my baby in my arms.

Valentine xxx

That was a great post Tangerinedream I feel exactly the same. I really thought my chance of meeting someone I wanted to spend the rest of my life with and becoming a mum had passed I was 36 and no partner on the horizen then I met my DH in 2005 we got married in 2006 and are having a baby in 2007 and its the best thing that could ever have happened and like some of you said money is going to be very tight but I am sure it will be well worth it.

Fantastic post tangerinedreams I also feel so so lucky, we fell pregnant straight away just after getting married (dates actually put conception happened on our wedding night) and I have an absolutely fantastic husband who cant do enough for me. Alot happened to me for a few years (very very very long story) before I met my DH and then everything turned around when I met him. I am truly blessed.

Aaawwhhh that is lovely... I feel the same too.

M DH is the best thing that ever happened to me, we have had our problems over the last 6 years but right now I could not change a thing.

I am so proud to be his wife and to be having his baby. He has done such a good job of looking after me over the past 7 months too.

Seems you've struck a chord there with a lot of ladies TangerineDream.

I have a good job that I've worked hard in. Some friends and family said I was so lucky coz of all the travelling I did and the success of my career.

I met my OH only 16 months ago and never thought I'd ever have more children (was told only last July I couldn't!)

I was/am quite happy with my life how it was but I must admit now with the thought of a little baby it seems so much richer, fuller and complete somehow.

Thanks for reminding me how lucky I am!

Hi all

Ahh this is so nice to read! Also nice that others have 'surprises' too!

I get really annoyed with myself sometimes at how I can snap and grump at my DH as he really is an angel. I HATE the hormones sometimes and the fact I get insecure for NO REASON very very annoying.

But you are right, we are all lucky indeed!!

It will all be worth it soon xxxx
