Feeling Down

I haven’t felt sick but I have been feeling like “why have I done this? Do I even really want the baby??” When really I’ve wanted a baby for two years now. I think it was me realising that a baby is coming and it is actually so scary and a huge life changing thing! I was feeling this way maybe at 4-5 weeks but now at 8 weeks I’m excited again. It’s weird but it’s a big thing in our life we’re bound to have mixed thoughts! Please don’t feel guilty everything will work out and be fine! We’re not monsters
Just also wanted to say I've felt the same. I've been with my partner 8 years, we'd been trying for 8 cycles (and crying every month I wasn't pregnant!) only to freak out now I am 😅 I do think it's feeling so shit that does it, when I get fleeting moments of no nausea I feel excited again. I think it's normal to feel like that and it's just a process ♥️
Hey just here to say you are super normal for feeling this way and it doesn’t mean your not grateful or happy as well it just means this is a big change and our bodies are creating lots of hormones that are going to have a big effect on how we feel! These first few months are tough but we will get through it and it sounds like you’re going to be a wonderful mummy💕
Thank you all so much, reading your replies has made me feel a lot better and less alone. It's such an exciting time but it's also the biggest change of our lives so I guess it's natural to have some worries too. I hope this nausea only lasts the first trimester as I do think I'll feel better once I can actually function properly! Thanks again, it's so nice to have people to open up to without judgement. Wishing you all a happy and healthy pregnancy and baby. You are all going to be great mummy's too ❤️
Heya, I felt exactly the same in my first one. The hormones drive you mad, and there's nothing worse than all food and water (or the thought of it) making you nauseous, unless people have experienced that it's difficult for them to truly have sympathy. You're not alone, you have people who love you. Have a chat with your GP, think about the sickness meds - I promise they help! Take some time off work Do something nice for yourself, get your nails done or a wee face mask bath bomb thing. Watch a comforting film/series that you know already. It will pass, I promise. It's shit, it's so so shit, but it passes. Xxx
