Starting to have doubts about ttc just now

[Neecole13]

Me and my partner decided a couple of weeks ago to start trying for our first baby, he is 29 and I'm 22 and we have been together for 4 years. I've always wanted to be a mum from a young age n now I know I've met the right person I thought I was happy to start trying but now I'm not so sure. I've just got a bit scared because so much will change but my boyfriend is so excited about the thought of being a dad and I don't want to turn round and say I'm having doubts! I do feel ready in so many ways but I'm just so worried and scared about some parts!

Jitteriness is normal. I got pregnant quickly both times and freaked out both times. Loads of people react the same.

However, you very much have time on your side - you are 13 years younger than when I had my first :) - , so I would say that there is no harm at all in taking a couple of months off to look at your fears and anxieties one by one and work out whether they are just jitters or whether there are valid reasons for you to put off pregnancy right now.

I do feel ready for it but have all these crazy thoughts running about my head haha. Thanks for the reply.

Totally normal, it's a huge thing! I waited for a year before ttc #1 due to waiting for my qualification to be complete. Conceived first month trying and freaked myself out!

Haha super eggs! Lol.
The main thing that worries me is money even though we will be comfortable I just want to be able to give the baby the best of the best as me and my partner both had great childhoods. All my boyfriend does is go on about how much he can't wait for us to have a baby but I get so scared that when I do fall pregnant he might get scared and change! He's so lovely but for someone that's nearly 30 he's still so immature, I have no doubts that he won't be a great dad though but just get so worried!! It's making me a bit crazy haha.

Take some time to think it over neecole13! im the same with my boyfriend weve been together just over 4years im 21 and hes 26 :) we took some time to think it over after i panicked having just got my nursing degree. Youll feel so much better when use talk over your issues!

Goodluck :D

We had a wee talk tonight and I'm feeling reassured so soon as AF is gone will be right back to it!
Well done on the degree btw!
