My hubby and I switched roles 🙄😣 normal? (Read please, and comment!!)
I’ve wanted a baby for months and my husband has been like “soon, not yet” and I’ve been soooo antsy. Then suddenly last month, literally his mind just changed one minute to the next. He just turned to me one day and went “I’m ready, let’s have a baby.” It was so bizarrely wonderful. Ever since then he points out cute babies in public, wants to learn about pregnancy and parenting, asks about my cervical fluid (🤦🏻♀️😂) and gets insanely turned on when we talk about making a baby. Truly this is everything I could’ve asked for!
But NOW that he’s on board suddenly my doubts have started swarming in. Am I healthy enough to not suffer through pregnancy? Am I far enough in my career? Have we saved enough money? Is my depression/anxiety going to interfere with my ability to be a good mom?
I think maybe it’s because all the months I spent trying to convince my husband that we were ready, I was really shutting out all my doubts and now that I no longer have to convince him, they’re flooding back in. Truly I want a baby so badly and I know we’re ready, but now that we’re actually trying I feel overwhelmingly anxious and meanwhile my husband is just over the moon excited.
Has this happened to anyone else? Is it normal to have doubts once you actually start trying? Why is this happening to me?
