Just done a test and I'm pregnant!!!!

[Love2014]

Hi scared to death just done a test and it says I'm pregnant 2-3 weeks. Scared to tell my partner as he has said he wanted to have a baby. But I think it was more for me then anything, as I said I wanted a baby. I'm about to be 36... But worried to death about the responsibility and giving up my lifestyle and even more worried I will loose my career.. Happy at the same time though as well.. Just all really scary... I had a miscarriage a couple of years ago which I found quite upsetting and worried something like that could happen again. Just scary and felt like I had to tell someone so thought I would talk about it on here...

Congratulations!

Aaaaah congrats! It's awesome! It feels weird at the beginning, don't worry, things sort themselves out.
Lifestyle? It'll adjust (but I'm still out with friends for drinks, babies are flexible)
Career? It's just a question of organisation. And you get brilliant at it with a baby.
Responsibility? You're going to be the best thing ever for another human being. It's incredibly exhilarating :)

Aww thank you... Your the first to say congrats to me helloelo..

It is exciting.. Just scary at the same time! Always wanted a baby.. But so want to be a good mum and not let them down! Really trying to stop myself from getting too excited as only started trying again recently after the miscarriage (only had one). We literally started trying 3 weeks ago and got pregnant straight away. Just all a bit mad! Thank you though xx

And lovely too :)
You'll be perfectly fine. Those first weeks are a bit emotional but you'll find loads of support here.

Congratulations

I was just reminiscing today that it had been a year since finding out I was pregnant (the result of which is keeping me awake... damn that 4 month sleep regression)

It wasn't planned per se, although definitely wanted, and I remember the "holy crap" feeling well. It took a while to sink in and I had all the same concerns as you but thankfully it all turned out ok and now wouldn't change it for the world.

Your emotions are bound to be all over the place and the first 12 weeks are particularly "scary", but as helloelo said, there is tons of support to be found here, and you'll be great!

Oh yes thanks Lovelyfriend too!

I'm okay just a bit shocked thanks for the support guys. Im just panicking about loosing things like my career if I get pregnant but I will be gaining a lot. I don't want to get really happy and go through a miscarriage . Going to do a few more tests today in secret to make sure then think about how I tell my partner.

Congratulations! I was desperate for a baby and I still had the 'oh sh*t' feeling when I got pg with dd - 12 years later (and a son too) all is well, they still have all their limbs and are fantastic kids so DH and I can't have done too bad a job! You'll be great Congratulations again.

Thanks Daffodill and Tellit.. Worried about my job as well, got made redundant in April and got a new job in July, but my new job is in a position I have wanted for a long time. I was so happy to get it. I've just gone through my 3 month probation so having a review with my manager in next few weeks. I don't want to loose my job or for them to think I can't do my job any longer because of this. It would really upset me as I've worked hard at my career. But I want a baby as well. My partner and I have spent every holiday and most of our money whilst we have been together over last 3 years... So will be a big change for us having a baby.. Wasn't sure if I would ever have one
