Trying with mixed feelings - is this normal!!

[TryingMum2022]

Hi All,
I'm new to posting on here but I've seen how supportive you all are so I'm hoping you're going to help me feel as if I'm not going mad!!

We've recently started trying for our first - we've taken our time to come to this decision, we've talked about it and had excitement over what the future may be like but now we've started trying I'm a massive huge bag of mixed feelings!! I'm excited, I'm scared, I'm worried some people may be disappointed in losing the ones without the kid and gone into mass panic about whether or not we're doing the right thing! Is this normal?

Thank you in advance :-)

I think so. I had very mixed feelings when trying for #1, to the point of needing MH support.

Now trying for #2, again with some mixed feelings about potential futures, but can't put into words what #1 means to me. No regrets.

Hi op, I resonate so much with this. Just wanted to say you're not alone in feeling this way! I could have written the same thing.
@Nothingbuttheglory your response about how you feel towards your first child is beautiful. 😊

Thank you @NotACodfish & @Nothingbuttheglory for making me feel loads better! I felt in a panic and awful for feeling so but reading your lovely replies really helped.
