Threw caution to the wind and now I’m petrified

[iwasgonnasay]

We’ve always wanted 2 DC, but when we had our first we rushed it and weren’t in a great financial position
7 years on we’re much better but not where we should be for 2 kids and a decent life / Mat leave / childcare / all the other stuff we have to fork out for each month

But time feels like it’s ticking and we’re going to miss our window and regret it

so we’ve dallied without any protection a few times and now as my AF approaches I’m feeling scarily pregnant and terrified

Different day, different view. Yesterday I was petrified. Today I feel quietly pleased and hopeful.. mood swings! But that's definitely not a symptom, that's just me all the time. Sorry, my post was inconsiderate - people are pleading to be pregnant and i'm being flitty about it. What will be will be.

Is DH on the same page? Nothing wrong with worrying about the future OP, but if you aren’t certain stick on the contraception for now. Good luck with whatever happens!

@ToKittyornottoKitty thanks for replying. DH would have a second tomorrow. I would too if money and work were no object, but they are the hurdles that are stressing me out and putting me off. In my heart I want a second, I always have, but I am a cynical person who fears "making a mistake". I feel so nauseous, but I'm probably worrying a gut, so that could be why!

I think it can be scary to think you might be pregnant even when the pregnancy is planned! I definitely had an “Oh god!” moment.

I hope you get the result you want x

Well at least I can stop wondering! Although AF due on 4th March so will still have to wait and see for sure

Congratulations!!

Congratulations! ❤️

I’ve kind of assumed digital clear blues don’t give many false positives… until AF is due and I do another test to be sure I think I’ll still be somewhat in shock and disbelief
