6 wks pg and totally overwhelmed...

Under a slight namechange so this is not searchable. I found out last week I am pg, about 6 weeks now. Don't want to tell anyone in RL yet, and DP is not here, so I have nobody to talk to and I just feel totally completely overwhelmed - happy, but mingled with panic.

I already have a DD of 6 from a previous relationship. Her dad was a total wanker when I was pg, wanted me to get rid of her, resented the whole thing, shagged around, and finally walked out on us when she was 2. He has pretty much nothing to do with DD or me now.

I've been with DP for nearly 2 years but he has been a friend for about 10 years. We don't live together atm, we have spent the last year looking for the right place to move to together and have recently found somewhere - a housing co-operative on a farm - where we are moving in January.

So I feel sick as a dog, I am permanently exhausted, my head is in a mess, I'm terrified of something going wrong, DP cannot be here all the time as he has things to sort out at his end and commitments there, I have to pack up the house, I have to pass my bloody driving test in 6 weeks (failing it is Not An Option, we need a car where we are moving to), and I can't make any decisions (I ended up crying in the video shop because there were too many videos the other day ).

I just want someone to tell me it'll all be ok

it's all going to be ok!!!

I would offer cup of tea and biscuit but am unsure if the biscuit emoticon is a nice biscuit or a mean biscuit so I'll send you a virtual one instead.

Being pg was such a horrible experience for me so I really feel for you. And with moving house, driving test, past worries...my goodness.

Are you able to take a bath? Watch X factor? Generally remove your mind from the reality of it all for a few mintues? Might help.

Good luck!

CONGRATULATIONS on your pregnancy!

You are going to have a baby and a wonderful superstar big girl and a gorgous guy and live on farm.... !!!!!

I took my driving test under similar circumstances and passed - you will be fine!

I discovered I was pregnant before moving in with DH - You will be fine.

I felt awful for the first bit of being preggy - but felt fab in tremester 2 and 3!!! - You will be fine.

Urrrrrmmmm...

And if I hadn't mentioned it already - YOU WILL BE FINE

Thank you [blurry smile]

Yes to bath, no to X factor as we currently have no tv!

Its so hard at times to forget how it was last time and try to focus on it being different this time. I just want dp to be here and he can't be right now.

Have you any photos of DP you can reminisce about? Can you phone or text him just to hear his voice? Start a little project maybe for Christmas where each day you write a nice thought about him and give it to him on Christmas with the explanation that he's your greatest gift to you? Anything to take your mind of the past, really. Got a book to read?

Congratulations! You sound like a strong person and i'm sure it will be ok. There is plenty of time to get used to the idea. Take it one day at a time and good luck for your driving test
