Hi everyone, I'm new to mums net today. I am 29 and found out last Wednesday that my boyfriend (of less than a year!) and I are expecting a baby. I am 5 weeks pregnant today and I am experiencing the most distress I have ever known! I feel so stupid because we got carried away one night when I presumed (wrongly) that I would be passed my fertile window and that it would be fine. I am Catholic and despite obviously having sex before marriage we were trying to use NFP methods of contraception. I come from a large VERY Catholic family. This weekend I told my parents and they were very supportive but obviously incredibly disappointed. (The worst!!!).
My boyfriend and I have good jobs and he is so supportive but I worry so much that our relationship won't work out! I am terrified of bringing a child in to an unstable relationship and I truly can't believe we are in this situation. I wish I could feel the joy that a new life should bring with it but all I have is fear of the future and darkness! Does anyone have experience of this? Is it just the shock of the news?! Please tell me I will feel the joy of this pregnancy eventually!
