Is what I'm feeling normal?
Hello, I'm 33, living in virginia, a school teacher, my husband and I have been together many years, ups and downs, some wild times and amazing adventures. For many years we weren't sure if we wanted children despite all our friends having kids. A year ago we moved away from my family/friends and this made us want to start our own family.
Yesterday after 5 months trying I found out I'm pregnant.
My initial reaction was excitement but 24 hrs later I can't stop crying. Change is very scary for me, I'm struggling to see the big picture of how a baby will bring joy to our lives, all i can focus on is my more immediate fears of how my body will change (I have an eating disorder that I receive counselling for) and that I can't drink and eventually will have to give up things i love like golf gym and hot yoga. am also miserable in my job so I feel like being tired and pregnant will make me more miserable. I'm also stressed about work and finances so that doesn't help my mood I know these are petty temporary negative things but I'm really dwelling on them and I feel like I can't stop.
Did anyone else feel like this ?
Does it pass??
