Advice needed

Just found out I'm pregnant 5wks
And although me and my partner have talked about it for a long time I now don't actually know how I feel about it all.
I'm 27 I live with my dad and brother since my mum died 3 yrs ago and to save money to buy a house and my partner is 25 and lives with his parents
He partner is so excited but I just don't seem to be able to get to that point and I feel like I'm ruining it for him all I can think about is the logistics and the things we will 'miss out' on doing am I being awful? Don't even feel i deserve to be a mum

Any one else felt like this? Thanks in advance

We planned our first, were ttc and I still had the OMG what have I done feeling, it's such a life changing thing. Took a few weeks but that feeling wears off and I think seeing the scan helped. It's natural to think about logistics and practicalities when you're the one carrying the baby but you've got time it'll all get worked out. Don't panic about missing out on anything, you can still do things if you have a child, you just have to plan childcare or plan to take them with you

Thanks I'm hoping I'll be ok once I've had scan etc xx

I'm 40 and 18 weeks pregnant with my first baby. I'm super excited to be having a baby but I still have moments of oh god what am I doing. It's normal and partly just because your life is changing and partly hormones. Try not to overanalyse it.

Also, by the time you're my age you'll pretty much have time to enjoy all the crazy fun stuff again, and believe me 40 isn't half as old as you might think it is right now ;)

I think the scary thing is that I live at home with my dad =/ not even with my partner xx

I feel the same!! Although I live with partner and we are engaged I still can't quite get excited about it yet. I have been assured that this is very common and should pass. I imagine when the baby arrives you will have forgotten ever feeling like this in the first place!! And try not to focus too much on the fact that you live with your dad, if moving out isn't an option at the minute just think of it as extra support for you and the baby. If there is an option for you to move out with your partner then that's great. But everything will come together in the end

These feelings are normal and they will pass. The beginning of pregnancy is incredibly scary and even VERY MUCH planned for and wanted pregnancies are met with anxiety and often fleeting regret. Don’t worry though, it goes away
