My first post on a mumsnet forum... Congrats to all those who are expecting summer babies.
I found out I was pregnant this morning. AF five days late, unheard of for me, my periods are like clockwork so went to get pg test.
I have two boys, four and two years (also had one miscarriage between them).
We weren't planning a third, and had been practicing "natural family planning" for the last six months or so. Well, it's an experiment gone wrong, my cycle is v regular and we used condoms at all the right times, I still can't figure how this baby might have been conceived.
Of course if all goes well, we will love it madly and not be able to imagine life without baby...
But right now I am feeling so bewildered. The shock of being pregnant unexpectedly. Our house is a small two-bed. Our car is too small for three carseats. We are struggling to get by financially as it is, I really needed to be looking for part-time work soon and a baby puts that off for another couple of years. Starting the whole baby routine again, just as we had reached a stage where we had, oh, an hour or two to ourselves in the evening (we are rubbish at getting our babies to bed at normal hours).
Haven't even told DH yet, don't know how to break it to him tonight.
Anyone else mildly happy and mightily scared?
