I'm hoping I can get some advice or at least hoping others will relate to this...
Husband and I have decided now feels like the right time to start TTC for our first baby and I've checked in on my app and I'm approaching my fertile window. I've been feeling really positive and content about starting this journey but knowing I have to actually commit now I'm having wobbles like "am I ready?"... aghhhh!
Just turned 30 this month, have been married a good few years and, up until recently, have found many excuses to wait a bit longer. Covid was a massive one and wanted to wait until the worst of it passed. Now I've sort of run out of excuses and I think it's go time.
I would LOVE to experience parenthood. I see myself with children and I know my husband will make a wonderful dad. But taking the plunge is proving harder than I thought!
I think it's the idea that, once you DTD, that's it. You've committed and you are potentially opening yourself up to all the highs and lows of pregnancy and birth. It's scary. It's impossible to predict your own pregnancy journey or how your birth will pan out. I think it's the fear of the unknown and I'm finding that unpredictability daunting.
Anyone felt the same (or currently feels the same)?
