Pregnancy regret? Or just hormones…

Meera Elizabeth

Hi all… I’m 10 weeks 4 days. I’m 29 and this is my first pregnancy (I did miscarry when I was 16, but that feels like a lifetime ago and I didn’t know i was pregnant until i miscarried). It feels like half of the time I’m excited and the other half I’m so scared to be a mom it makes me sad. The constant nausea and vomiting definitely hasn’t helped and the days when I am extremely sick are usually the days I wish I wasn’t pregnant… I feel guilty for even having these thoughts especially knowing how many people truly want to be parents and don’t get the opportunity. It’s not that I ever want to have an abortion, it’s sometimes wishing I never got pregnant to begin with. I want to be happy about it all the time, but I get so scared I won’t be a good mom and that I won’t enjoy parenting… has anyone else felt the same? Sometimes I wonder if the hormones make it worse…
