Struggling!!

[herewegoagain123456]

So I'm about 11 weeks pregnant and this week I'm really struggling with the thought of having a baby.

For context I already have a 10 & 14 year old with a previous partner.
So the thought of doing it all over again is really filling me with dread! Like I'm proper regretting my decision which is mad as we really tried for this one after 2 previous missed miscarriages.

Will I get over this? I'm so worried!

You should get over it with time. I had this when DD was born and I was at the worst exhaustion feeding her every few hours and not getting enough sleep. I remember thinking god this is the rest of my life, WTF have I done. But it passed and you kind of just get on with whatever is going at the time and time flies.
And congratulations! 💞

Could you try and think of all the lovely things you’ll get to do again instead of the hard bits? Also think of how you’ll get to see your older DC love their sibling and help look after them.

How are you feeling op? I am also expecting no 3 after a fairly large age gap (mine are 7 and 9) and although this baby was planned I am also struggling with similar feelings. Life is so easy now and mine are at a really nice age so I am panicking about all the things we won't be able to do with a baby/toddler as well as how I will cope with sleep deprivation etc again. Pregnancy hormones/nausea not helping! I'm trying to remember all of the reasons we decided to go ahead, as it's not like we hadn't considered the drawbacks.

Yea doing Abit better I think. I have good and bad days! So just trying to get on with it as like you it was planned so telling myself clearly it's my hormones messing with my thoughts 🤞🏽🤣
