Unplanned (but obvs not prevented!) pregnant with no.2. Very early days and all that but blimey, not feeling the joy yet. DS is nearly 3, so not too close age gap but I was just getting my career back on track and trying to get my body back on track too... and now everything stops again.

Feeling quite negative but hoping it's mainly the hormones, as want to cry a lot of the time and getting properly irritated by my 3 year old, poor love. I am a bit excited, at least I can see that it is exciting but gah, yeah, might take time.

Sorry for rant. Anyone else meh about being pregnant?

I was angry about being pregnant for about 4 months. I realise now it was a sort of grief about losing my life. Since then I still have the odd day where I'm furious about it, or upset, but I'm coming round to the idea. I'm 32 weeks tomorrow, so not before time really!

Oh, and it was planned. My feelings about it surprised me.

I was excited to be pregnant but have been very irritable towards DH. Also burst into tears and walked out over something minor (on a work night out when only one person knew!).
Hormones are dreadful for my emotions.

I was negative, angry, frightened. Very much planned, high risk pregnancy under consultant care.
I was furious with DH for wanting a child (even though I wanted one too) when it meant me having to have had MC, me having to go to all these intrusive appointments, me having scary injections etc'. Totally illogical. It was us both and the poor guy cannot very well carry a foetus himself!

Hormones and the situation I guess.

My second was planned and I felt like this right up until I gave birth. I kept saying to dh - "why are we doing this again... We know how hard it is... What were we thinking...?"

And then she was born and now I can't possibly imagine not having her (she's 4 weeks old).

It's just the hormones. It will get better!!
