Hi,
Just discovered I'm pregnant. It was planned, but my reaction is not what I was expecting. It's my second pregnancy (DS is 2) and I'm mid-30s. Last pregnancy was ok, but diabetes made the last few months tricky. The birth ended in an emergency section. DH has a very stressful job and I found the first few months of motherhood difficult.
I'd always wanted 2, so we tried again. But when the test came up I just had a bit of a meltdown. And I feel so guilty for that. I think the problems last time are on my mind, plus the fact that I feel I became a better mother when I returned to work, and the thought of a year's maternity leave is a bit frightening. As well as that, I'm terrified of something going wrong with the pregnancy. I suspect I had undiagnosed PND last time, so maybe that's coming back. All this is combined with the fact that I know others have had far worse problems.
Am I just being silly? I'm hoping as it sinks in I'll feel better. I'll be buying a digital test tomorrow (done line in the window ones the last few days) so maybe it'll feel real then. Hopefully.....
