Dreams of being a parent

I grew up in a family of family violence and I have been away from it mostly for 4 years. Still I’ve felt ashamed and embarrassed whenever I got clucky because my relatives would tell me I shouldn’t have children and my grandmother even kicked me out of the house for even thinking I was pregnant once.

Now my partner and I have started seeing a prenatal counsellor because we want to start trying to get pregnant July/August this year. I also talked to a lady at the women’s cottage and I feel like the support I’m getting is allowing me to feel comfortable with my cluckyness and I feel more confident in becoming a Mum. Has anyone else been in my position like this? Please let me know.
