Hi everyone, I recently found out I was pregnant (mid Jan) and whilst this is something my partner and I have dreamed of and longed for for a while now, it came as a bit of a shock that it happened so quickly! I have PCOS and thought it would take much longer but came off the pill last summer thinking I would always regret it if I left it too late.
We got engaged over Christmas and I was so excited to plan a wedding for this coming autumn. We’ve had an up and down journey and have really hit our groove in the past few years so it felt magical to get to this point. We were engaged for all of 2 and a half weeks before I found out I was pregnant and it’s provoked some (surprising) contradictory feelings…
On the one hand I am overjoyed that pregnancy has happened this soon for me, and under no illusions of the gift and blessing that is. But I’ve also been surprised at how gutted I was to lose my engagement period (technically I haven’t but intense nausea has sort of eclipsed any feelings of romance). I feel gutted that we won’t get the wedding we dreamed of, that I need to decide whether to do it before or after but either way I’ll either be pregnant and compromised and uncomfortable or tied to a small baby!
Anyone else been in this situation and felt the contradiction of sadness and excitement? Anyone got any positive stories of having a wedding with their baby at it? 😅
Hoping this doesn’t sound tone deaf/ungrateful, I haven’t dared voice this to friends who are TTC right now.
