BFP yesterday- shocked

[Mncrmum]

Hello!

mum of 2x already (4, nearly 5 and 2.5 girls). Missed my period on Monday, took a test - found out Im pregnant 👀👀👀- not planned or expected and yes, we used protection. Apparently 4 weeks now ..

I’m really nervous and anxious and not entirely sure how to feel about it. I understand that we are so lucky, but the costs of nursery alone are making me want to cry, especially after living with them for 5 years. There was light at the end of the tunnel and it seems that has come crashing down financially. I also feel tremendous guilt for my LGs as I won’t be able to give them the extras like swimming lessons, dance etc etc due to costs.

on top of that my MH really suffered after my 2nd and I finally feel back in my groove.

Has anyone else been through this recently with a shock pregnancy? How are you coping and how did you rationalise it in your head?

sorry for the whinge, but I’m really struggling to make it all make sense 😭

I am almost 14 weeks with my surprise and unplanned 4th baby, my oldest will be 15 when this one is born and i really didn't think we would be starting again but as the weeks have gone on I have got used to the idea and any worries I have are discussed with my husband just make sure you don't bottle up your feelings and you will probably find you will feel much better about it, you are very early so it is no surprise you are still in shock with the news but give it time to sink in and you will likely realise things will be just fine, congrats on the new baby 😊

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply!
you’re right, it’s all just a bit of a shock. I think we’re going out for a walk this weekend to talk things over and let the dust settle a little bit. 🥰
