I am currently 8 weeks pregnant. It has come as quite a shock to myself and DP as we were not trying (in fact actively trying not TC). At this moment in time all options are on the table. Yesterday I had my first Bpas appointment to discuss all options. They gave me a scan, which has really made things very real for me.
DP has 2 DC already aged 7 and 3. They have gone through a lot of change in the last year or so and he/we are keen not to upset the apple cart too much, as it were. They live with us 50% of the time and have done for around 9 months. DP and I have been together for 2 years.
I am ready to be a mum. I adore my step children and I'm keen to have a more permanent connection with them through a child of our own.
DP is a worrier. He worry how the children will react, that they will feel replaced, that they will be jealous that this child will live with us all the time, that his ex will make things difficult etc.
He says he has read bad things online (!) and I really want to show him that people have had positive experiences in our situation.
