Any ladies due on the 5th November? Week 17 for us... well done :)

My pregnancy so far has been emotionally difficult and just need to let it out so here goes. I was married for 6 years and TTC for 4 years. We were referred to fertility specialist and towards the end of last year I started IVF treatment (first 13 days of the buserelin hormone) when we stopped treatment and decided to separate. Our marriage had been in a bad place for a while and it became evident having a baby was not the responsible thing to do at that time and we needed to go our separate ways so I moved out. After months of preparation for IVF and the stress of the break up I needed to go out and just let loose; went out with a friend from work where one thing led to another and we ended up doing the dirty vertical dance. 6 weeks later I found out I was pregnant... so that is my story ladies. I have been struggling to bond with the baby as I had tried so long to get pregnant with my husband and one night of tequila with a friend got me pregnant, I am in a better place now but still have hard days where I feel so alone and so scared about how I will raise this child... life is crazy but I'm trying to embrace it. What is your story?

Hows the dad about it all? Does your husband/ex husband know? Hope things are ok for you!

The dad knows and has been supportive of my decision to keep the baby and yes I have told my ex-husband, was one of the hardest discussions of my life and very hurtful for both of us. I just feel like I'm on a roller coaster emotionally and now my body is changing too! Thanks for the kind words they do really help x
