guilt and stress

[kay06072021]

I have no idea if this is the right place to put this, and I also don’t know what i’m hoping to get out of this.

i’m 20 years old, I used protection and still ended up pregnant. I chose to keep the baby, and I am happy and so in love with him already and can’t wait for him to be born.

my mum and I have always been close as it’s just been me and her for as long as I can remember, but we used to argue and butt heads and scream and shout all the time, but ever since I got pregnant we’ve grown and bonded so much more and we’re so close now.

my boyfriend and I (as well as mine and my mums cat, Smudge) are moving out into our own place in a few days and I just feel so devastated.

is there something wrong with me? i’m having a baby with my boyfriend who I love so much and we’re moving into our first place together, but I just feel so sad and cry all the time!

I just feel guilty, taking our cat away from my
mum but also couldn’t bare to leave her behind. I feel absolutely horrendous leaving my mum, knowing she’s going to go home from work to an empty house and I won’t be there to have dinner together and binge watch whatever show we’re watching.

i just feel guilty and awful and cry all the time. Are these normal feelings to have when moving out?

Yes, totally normal. You're leaving home so it and that in itself is a big step and can be emotional, and with a new baby coming, this adds to the overall change. It sounds as if you're in a good place with your mum now, I was a bit like you in that I argued with my mum growing up etc, once I moved out though and we had space between us we grew closer. Your mum sounds like she'll be there for you, good luck with your pregnancy 😀

Pregnancy hormones will be playing around with you more than normal too. Don't worry, I bet your mum is pretty excited about having a GC, and you were always going to move out sometime. She must be really proud of how quickly youcw grown up. Congrats, enjoy the new baby when he arrives.

thank you everyone x
