I’m in my third trimester and suddenly feeling a complete sense of panic at how much my life is about to change.
My pregnancy wasn’t planned, I’m single but the baby’s dad is involved. I have a good support system of friends and family, but my parents live over an hour away.
As my due date approaches, I’m finding myself worrying more and more and thinking about all of the things that I just won’t be able to do anymore. I used to take little solo holidays a couple of times a year to visit new cities, I could go to the pub when I fancied it, I could go on dates whenever. I am quite career focused and had plans to climb the career ladder a little more before I settled down, as well as buy a house. Now I feel like even saving for a deposit is pointless - I won’t get a mortgage on my own on a part time income when I go back to work. Dating was a minefield before and it’s going to be 10x worse as a single parent. I’m worried I’m going to be destined to life as a single parent with not much to look forward to except for obviously my child.
I don’t want this to sound like I’m ungrateful at all. Although my pregnancy was unplanned, it is very much wanted and I am excited. It’s just what feels like the loss of my former life that feels so, so daunting right now.
Is this normal? 
I feel so guilty for feeling like this...
