I'm 30 years old, been married for a year (together for 8 years), we're both in full time employment and I'm 8 weeks pregnant. Prior to getting pregnant, it's all I wanted. It consumed every day, thinking about babies and feeling empty inside whenever I saw a baby or small child. I wanted nothing more than to have a little family with my husband. I found out I was pregnant (unplanned) at 4 weeks, discussed with my husband and he said he didn't want a baby but would support whatever desision I made. After a week of discussion through the topic, we decided to keep baby as it meant too much to me. Husbands fears were the normal fears of what if we can't handle it? Will I be a good dad? Constant baby crying. Our lives will be dominated by this baby etc etc but we talked about it all and he's content with the idea now though naturally still scared.
This is where I'm so confused by how I'm feeling. The overall joy of having a baby had died down a lot. Now I'm feeling all of those doubts and fears of having a baby that my husband had. I'm thinking about how I'm going to manage work and a baby, how I'm going to afford childcare, the chaos that having a newborn brings, will I ever be able to leave the house, even thinking about schools this early on, worried about the stress it will add to our relationship and so many other things. I feel awful because I wanted this so badly that it hurt and now it's happening I'm so anxious about everything! Is this normal and will it pass?
