Not excited about pregnancy

[babybrainfart]

I am pregnant with my third child (1st with partner) after 5 years together. I had desperately longed for a baby, but put off trying due to various reasons. It got to the point where it was now or never as I am getting older and the age gapes with my two other children. I got pregnant first month from trying and decided as soon as we tried that month if it didn't work I would probably wait until March next year to try. I am almost 8 weeks and so far I feel nothing towards this pregnancy, which is so different from my first two. I keep thinking of the worst possible outcome of not being able to find a house to buy together, having to be financially dependant on my partner after being so independent for some many years and losing myself again being a mother. I am worried I will get PND again and regret this child. My ex was really unsupportive and still is and I think it might be linked to my feelings now that I will be let down, but my partner now is supportive and helps loads with my children now. Sorry to ramble, just trying to make sense of my feelings.

Sorry you feel this way ❤️ I’m pregnant with my 3rd too and tbh I’m not excited either I just feel really overwhelmed and worried how I will cope with 3, feel kind of stupid for letting this happen (wasn’t planned). Hoping things will just slot into place once the baby gets here. It sounds like your in a much better relationship now and will have support when the baby gets here so I’d try and focus on that x

Are you financially dependent on a partner you’re not married to while also responsible for your 2 kids from previous relationship? Sorry I know that’s not what you’re asking, but that’s a very very vulnerable position to put yourself and your kids in.
