Hey Mumsnet community 🩷🥰
Not sure why I have written this thread. I guess advice or people sharing experiences might help.
Me and my hubby of nearly 6 years have a beautiful 3 y/o and adore her. Shes our world. But parenthood hasn't been a smooth ride. We have had usual ups and downs. But we have stuck together and worked a team and raised a clever, confident, beautiful Covid baby who is now potty trained yay!!
We were very much 1 and done. Only a short time before she starts school, booking nice holidays, moving house, changing jobs, making money commitments and finally saving some well needed money with funded hours after paying childcare!
We've had a whirlwind March/April. We found out start of March I was pregnant. After weeks of uncertainty... tears.. stress... unsure if to proceed, unsure if pregnancy was viable as no heartbeat or baby was felt when being examined.
We turned up to proceed with a termination to be told I was 27+4 days pregnant!! This came as a huge huge HUGE shock to us both! Cryptic Pregnancy.
I'm 33 weeks now, still sometimes cannot believe it. We are excited but also I feel some days is this really happening!?! This baby will be so loved and I think secretly was really wanted from my side quite desperately.
I just feel so emotional, I guess my hormones are running wild. I just still can't believe I'm going to hopefully be a mummy of 2, a family of 4. I guess it has only been like 6 weeks!!!
I've been at the hospital so much with various appointments and have hypertension, GD. My head is totally mashed!
Last time I felt so organised whereas this time I haven't got the energy to do anything. Not sure if it's tiredness, time, shock... still trying to work and put money aside as we haven't been able to plan as much as baby no1!
Any advice welcome! Or even just a hey or reassurance 🩷🤗 xxxxx
