Just found out!

Hey I am 29 and just found out I’m pregnant… expecting my first I am extremely overwhelmed and nervous and the anxiety is just so bad to the point it’s making me physically sick 🥺 I’m wondering if anybody else has experienced this and I will get better over time? It wasn’t planned however I wanted my first before 30 and I have been ‘ready’ but now it’s reality it’s thrown me off majorly! Feeling very vulnerable and hoping for some reassurance xx

I was exactly the same as you. I wanted to start trying soon after I turned 30 and I fell pregnant on the first try and I was petrified. I had an awful pregnancy (HG) and sometimes really started to wonder if having a baby was what I truly wanted but fast forward 2.5 years and I now have the best 2 year old i could ever hope for. He’s just amazing and I love watching him grow. I also have a 3 month old too and my toddler is just the best big brother and I just love him more each day. Don’t get me wrong, it’s so hard and I’ve had numerous breakdowns but I’d do it all again in a heartbeat for him. I promise it’s all worth it. You’ve got this mama 💪🏻

When I was pregnant I grieved my old life and wondered if I’d made the right decision. Now that he’s here I am so grateful but being pregnant is a wild ride and can be filled with anxiety. Just know you will be filled with so much love when they arrive xxx

Honestly, you think you know love and then you have a child and it consumes you. There is no love like it and the best feeling in the world. Of course it’s hard, my biggest advice (which I ignored) is don’t be afraid to have help! Use any support you have, even to watch the baby to shower. Go to doctors/support hubs if you need it mentally (you can go before the baby is born - if you’re anxiety does continue. Do make sure to speak up!) Once that baby is here (but tbh I’d say once you start to feel the baby in you) things start to change. You will look back and realise that this child is your best achievement xx

Oh bless you! I was kinda the same I defo had a panic cry about it! But honestly it’s 3 days later and I couldn’t be more excited! ( I don’t believe in god / haven’t found my god yet,) so take this with a pinch of salt, but someone somewhere decided now is the time! Have you been “trying” as such unprotected? Honestly it’s totally fine to be nervous anxious and feel sick about it! You’ll soon come round to it and the initial shock won’t be as bad! Xx
