I have two lovely children and although my other half and I had talked about having one more we hadn't said we were definitely going to but the decision has now been taken out of our hands. I am feeling really scared and it feels silly to be scared and worried (Ive been through this twice before) but I am, has anyone else felt like this, does it get better? not only that we are selling our house and looking to move to a completely different area which is also worrying me. I just want to feel happy about atleast one of these things......help....

Thanks, the pregnancy was a little bit of shock in that we hadn't really gotten into the 'lets start trying' scenario. Just feeling a bit overwhelmed at the moment..

Almost exactly the same happened to me - and we were moving to Australia. Anyway DD is now 4 weeks old and I couldn't imagine being without her! It has been really hard, I won't lie, but life works the way it does for a reason IMO. It has been really important to me to have ongoing support from my friends and family at home so I would try and maintain that if at all possible. My parents came to stay for 2 weeks when DD was born which was a lifesaver although normally I would have totally resisted the idea of house guests with a newborn.
Good luck!

Mutley, how did you feel when you found out you were pregnant? Im struggling because I feel I should over the moon, and whilst im not unhappy I feel quite anxious about it all

When I first found out I was v pleased as it had taken ages ttc dc2 so to have a bonus number 3 was excellent! However when the move became more definite I was extremely anxious and at times wished I were not pregnant, and same again after moving.
However bad as I feel about that now I am so pleased things are the way they are (and that Dd is here safely) and hope that in a few months my negative feelings will be a beyond distant memory.
