Planned pregnancy but unhappy?

[Blondewave]

Hey

so bit of a strange one - when I first got my positive pregnancy test I was so excited and happy for about a week.

Then since then I’m 8.5 weeks now I’m just so down and regretting it. Planned but it happened 2 weeks after a discussion of should we have a baby so bit of a shock.

I literally wake up in the night thinking of god what have I done. I have an 11 year old and have been a single parent for most of his life. I’m terrified about it happening again despite my partner being amazing. He reassures me but I’m just dreading it.
I feel I never enjoyed my sons childhood as everything was such a struggle with being on my own. I love him more than anything but I just can’t shake the feeling of dread that I have currently about this pregnancy and I don’t think it helps feeling so sick and tired all the time..
Has anyone else has similar feelings? Will it pass?

Thanks 😁 x

I think lots of people feel a bit shocked when it first happens, then the morning sickness kicks in and you wonder what the hell you have done. As time passes and you get to go for a scan, get a bump, feel baby moving, you will come round.

Yes ! It’s quite common I think .
yay pregnant!! Oh fuck what the hell have I done 😁 it will wear off, you will be fine , congratulations.

Oh amazing thanks so much. Hoping it will pass 🤞🏻🤞🏻! I have a lot of friends around me trying to conceive and it makes me feel guilty for feeling this way. However I know that probably even those friends when they do eventually conceive may feel the same as it’s such a huge life changing event, just hard to vent these kind of feelings as people assume you should be ecstatic about it, especially when it’s planned xx

I was the exact same! I planned it but when it happened I was dreading it and this is my rainbow baby so I felt so guilty for wishing I wasn't pregnant. Time passed and now I'm excited and can't wait to meet my little baby!! It will pass and you'll feel excited soon. Congrats and good luck on your pregnancy xx

I felt exactly the same! My was unplanned but wanted we wanted to try later this year anyways. But i really did not feel connected and quite down it was weird.. Im 13 weeks today, had my scan few days ago.. Ive started to feel slightly more excited... Still have the detached days too but i have noticed them becoming less..

Definitely this. Recently found out I’m pregnant with my second. Completely planned, super happy for a good 24 hours before the “oh fuck, what was I thinking” stage came. Hoping it passes soon like it did with my first 🤞
