Pregnant and confused

[Cheyanne101]

I have just found out im pregnant approx 5 weeks and extremely conflicted.. iv just been offered a job which i really really need and want! We didnt plan on it happening right now but feel bad for having these thoughts about regrets and am so angry at myself for not being more careful. I know i should be grateful and i am but im feeling really negative and not ready for this... i dont know what to do my head is ready to explode. I know so many women would love to be pregnant which i totally understand and i always thought i wanted it too until now. Any advise?

Just to say I got offered my dream job almost 2 Years ago.. Interview was in the July although post didn't start to the September.. I was very early pregnant at the interview (after several miscarriages I wasn't really admitting it to myself at the time) but was 8 or so when the job started.. I went off on maternity leave on the Feb, ds was born couple of weeks later (earlier than expected) at the beginning of March. I was worried about telling work but they were actually more than fine about it.. I probably didn't take as long for maternity leave as i would have liked in hindsight - mix of financial reasons and not wanting to cause too much hassle for workplace but i just wanted to say it is doable. You can have the job and the baby even if the timing isn't perfect it probably rarely will be..

Just because other women would be happy to be pregnant doesn't mean you have to be, OP. You have choices and they're yours to make and yours alone. I wish you well whatever you decide.
