Is it wrong that I don't feel particularly excited about being pregnant? I am grappling with feelings of worry, being scared and majorly anxious about finding out if there is something wrong with the baby.
My DH is completely stressed out at the moment with his job situation and has already told me the likelihood is we're going to have to stay in our small one bedroom flat until his job has been sorted and we've had the baby. Money isn't an issue, but he's super cautious with everything. He's already told me I need to essentially be mature about this pregnancy and take it day by day and stop fretting over every little thing as it's not helping his stress levels.
I have tried to tell him how I feel - my family are all local, but to be honest they're not "hands on" and I know I am going to be on my own a lot of the time. I have checked out the local NCT group and it's dormant. The thought of being in a one bedroom flat (first floor) with a screaming baby fills me with dread.
I've also discovered that my local maternity hospital is midwife led only and doesn't have a consultant, offer epidural only gas and air. This has sent me into meltdown. The consultant led hospital is about 1 hour away in the car and I am stressing about getting there and being sent away again on the actual day.
I've not told anybody re this pregnancy and I haven't got anybody to talk to so just wanted to know if these feelings were perfectly normal?
